Ice Keys Drops a Fire Track That’s Set to Wake Up the Charts – “Vanomutsa Varere”

If you’ve been scrolling through Zimbabwe’s music scene lately, you’ve probably caught wind of a fresh, buzz worthy release from one of the country’s most versatile artists: Ice Keys, the multi‑talented rapper, poet, dancer and visual creator who’s quickly becoming a household name. Born Confidence Kudzaishe Ngonyamo on October 6th of 1995, just unleashed his latest single “Vanomutsa Varere” a high energy danceble Su‑Drill (fusion of Sungura and Drill) that’s already being talked about as a potential hit.

A career built on hustle and creativity

From the streets of Dangamvura, Mutare, Ice Keys started breaking beats at age 11, first as a breakdancer and later as a contestant on talent shows like StarBrite and Dream Star, where he reached the semi‑finals in 2016.

His early influences:

From Zimbabwean legends such as A.K.A(Keinen Alexander Forbes), System Tazvida, Takura(Shona Prince), Ti-Gonz and Josphat Somanje to global icons like Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and Usher still echo in his music, but he adds his own twist with the mbira and bongo(ngoma), instruments he plays with ease.

After debuting with “I’m Blessed” Produced by CEE Bleech & Satie Beats in 2013, Ice Keys has built a solid discography that spans hip‑hop, R&B, Afro‑pop and his self‑styled genres Su-Drill (a fusion of Sungura & Drill) & Rapoetry a blend of rap and spoken‑word poetry that he introduced in 2024. He’s also a graphic designer, a drawing artist, poet, and founder of CoDesigns, Diamond City Urban Culture and Xtra‑Ordinary Magazine, proving that his creativity knows no limits.

“Vanomutsa Varere” a song that stirs the soul

The new track, produced by Dj Chillaz and iAmJ.G.Beatz, mixes the rhythmic pulse of drill with the melodic swing of Sungura, a traditional Zimbabwean genre. Lyrically, Ice Keys delivers his signature social commentary, storytelling, weaving Shona and English verses that celebrate resilience and the joy of waking up to new possibilities – the title literally translates to “Waking the sleepy-ones.” The production is crisp, the hook is instantly catchy, and the accompanying visuals, handled by Willie “Wills” Maisvoreva of Elevation Media, capture the vibrant energy of Mutare's streets.

Why this could be his breakout moment

Ice Keys’ knack for blending local flavor with international sounds has already earned him spots on major stages – from the Hip-hop Thursdays(Courthald Theatre), Shaurai Arts Festival to the Samanyika Music & Arts Festival With “Vanomutsa Varere,” he’s tapping into the current global drill wave while staying rooted in his Zimbabwean heritage, a formula that has propelled many artists to crossborder success. Fans can expect more of this genre‑bending approach as he prepares his second album for next year.

Music, a toy and a weapon, depending on who's playing.

Music isn't just for entertainment. It's one of the most powerful tools for mind control, and the people running the industry know it. Behind the catchy beats are engineered frequencies, occult rituals, and psychological operations. This complex interplay of sound and influence can have profound effects on our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

The Power of Music: A Double-Edged Sword

Music has the ability to shape our emotions, influence our thoughts, and even affect our physical responses. It can be used to create a sense of calm, boost our energy, or even inspire us to take action. However, music can also be used to manipulate, influence, and control people's thoughts and behaviors.

The Sweet Spot of Music

When music hits its sweet spot, it can evoke strong emotions and create a lasting impact on listeners. This can be seen in the way music is used in various contexts, from social movements to advertising. Music has the power to bring people together, create a sense of community, and inspire meaningful connections.

Music as a Tool for Social Change

Music has long been used as a tool for social change, with many artists using their platform to raise awareness about important issues, inspire activism, and promote positive change. From protest songs to benefit concerts, music has played a significant role in shaping social movements and influencing public opinion.

The Dark Side of Music...

However, music can also be used for more sinister purposes. Some artists and industry professionals may use music as a tool for manipulation, incorporating hidden messages or symbolism into their work. This can have a profound impact on listeners, influencing their thoughts and behaviors in ways they may not even realize.

To wrap it up,

Music is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that can have both positive and negative effects on individuals and society. By being aware of its power and potential impact, we can use music in a way that promotes positive change and inspires meaningful connections. When used responsibly, music can hit that sweet spot, bringing people together and creating a lasting impact.

The Dangers of Underpricing: Why Low Prices Can Lead to Disrespect

As a business owner or service provider, setting the right price for your product or service is crucial. While it may be tempting to underprice to attract clients or customers, this strategy can ultimately backfire and lead to disrespect.

The Risks of Underpricing

When prices are too low, clients or customers may perceive a lack of value or question the quality of the product or service. This can lead to a range of negative consequences, including:

- Perceived lack of value: If prices are too low, clients or customers might assume that the product or service is not worth their time or money.

- Lack of professionalism: Underpricing can give the impression of amateurism or a lack of understanding of the market.

- Unsustainable business model: If prices are too low, it may be challenging to maintain a sustainable business, leading to potential quality issues or burnout.

The Solution: Value-Based Pricing

To avoid these risks, consider adopting a value-based pricing strategy. This approach involves setting prices that reflect the true value of your product or service. By doing so, you can:

- Establish credibility: By pricing your product or service fairly, you demonstrate a clear understanding of its value.

- Build trust: When clients or customers understand the value behind your pricing, they are more likely to trust your expertise.

- Sustain your business: By charging prices that reflect the value you provide, you can maintain a sustainable business model and deliver high-quality products or services.

Conclusion

Underpricing may seem like an attractive strategy, but it can ultimately lead to disrespect and undermine your business. By adopting a value-based pricing approach, you can establish credibility, build trust, and sustain your business. Remember, pricing is not just about attracting clients or customers – it's about demonstrating the value you bring to the table.

Takeaway

Don't underprice your way to success. Instead, focus on delivering value and pricing your products or services accordingly. By doing so, you'll build a strong reputation and attract clients or customers who appreciate the quality and expertise you provide.

God is Good! Right Dreamer? Right Shelly? King Drey?

Indeed. Miss Shelly herself has been the most streamed female artist in our panel. Shelly makes love songs for God. That explains everything. God is the biggest

I say the above said words as I respond to Drey who said 

"Iri riripo pane maMost played mu music library🔥🔥🔥
NGOMA HOMBE" 💪🏾

Shelly, a talented artist, has been making waves with her music. As someone who's known her for a long time, I can attest that she's capable of creating amazing songs in various genres, from R&B to hardcore hip-hop, dancehall, and reggae. However, she's chosen to dedicate her music to God, creating love songs that come from the heart.

What Sets Shelly Apart

Shelly's not your typical gospel artist. She's a true worshiper who sings with passion and conviction. Her character, actions, and message have won our hearts here at Planet Carnot. We've seen her grow as an artist, and she's now ready to stand solo. She's even started her own YouTube channel, and we're excited to see what's next.

A Testament to Faith

Shelly's decision to channel her energy towards worship music is a testament to her faith. She's a shining example of what it means to love God with all one's being. As she says, "I don't sing for money." That's a pure truth. She sings for God, and that's what makes her music so special.

Celebrating Dreamer

Today is Dreamer's birthday, and I'm excited to share some news. Shelly introduced me to this talented artist, and we've been working on some amazing songs. Two of Dreamer's songs, recorded last year, are ready to drop. I'm finalizing the mastering process, and we'll be sharing them with the world soon.

A Message

As I reflect on Shelly's journey, I'm reminded that God's work always grows. When artists prioritize their love for God, blessings follow. I'm grateful to have played a part in Shelly's story, and I'm excited to see what's next for her and Dreamer. Let's celebrate life, opportunities, and the gift of music. Happy birthday, Dreamer!

"Marriage Is an Economy—But the Market Is Broken" - Elonairs

Marriage was never just about love.

It’s an economy.

Two people bringing different strengths to the table—pooling resources, talents, values, time, and DNA to build something greater than either could alone.

One pays for the house.

The other makes it a home.

One carries the child.

The other funds the journey.

One hunts.

The other prepares the meat.

That’s how it worked.

It wasn’t slavery. It was synergy.

—

But today?

Everyone wants to do the least and gain the most.

The goal is no longer legacy—it’s leverage.

Marriage is now treated like a business pitch.

A sponsorship package.

A “get-rich” or “get-out” scheme.

We hear phrases like:

“I’m in my soft girl era.”

“I can’t do this for any man.”

“If he can’t buy the ring, I’m not saying yes.”

“Six figures or nothing.”

And on the flip side?

Men want to sleep with everyone but marry a virgin.

They leave children behind and still point fingers at single moms.

—

No One Wants to Build—Everyone Wants to Win

House chores are now slavery.

Raising your own kids? Oppression.

Marriage has lost its meaning—and become a competition.

And because women know they can’t lose, the game is tilted.

Divorce is no longer heartbreak—it’s liquidation.

Courts are now auction houses.

Prenups are essential.

DNA tests are non-negotiable.

Because in a broken economy, trust is dangerous.

—

We Are Now Marrying to Escape, Not Expand

Ask the average woman if she wants to marry.

She’ll hesitate.

Ask her if she’d marry a rich man?

She says, “show me the altar”.

It’s no longer about compatibility.

It’s about probability—and payout.

Does he have money?

Status?

Assets?

That’s the algorithm now.

And no one’s asking:

Do we share vision?

Do we want the same future?

Can we build something that outlives both of us?

—

The Marriage Market Is Crashing—And Nobody’s Talking About It

Raising another man’s child used to be an oddity.

Now it’s normal.

Abandoning your own children used to bring shame.

Now it’s branded as “healing.”

Everyone wants to be a boss.

But no one wants to collaborate.

—

So What’s the Way Forward?

Marriage should be a merger of strengths—not a tug-of-war.

It should be:

– Purpose-driven, not pressure-driven.

– Aligned in values, not pursuit of vanity.

– Built on roles, not rivalry.

– Anchored in legacy, not lifestyle.

Because when marriage fails—society pays.

Kids lose fathers.

Homes lose structure.

And the next generation inherits confusion.

So here’s the big question:

How do we rebuild this economy?

How do we redesign marriage to reflect trust, growth, and shared responsibility—rather than exploitation and entitlement?

We need new answers.

New models.

New honesty.

Because if we keep borrowing from broken narratives…

There won’t be a future left to safeguard.

—

Let the thinkers respond.

Let the architects of legacy debate.

Because marriage isn’t dying.

It’s just begging to be reimagined.
