On the Hiphop show Nairaw, Mwafrika once described it as the most conscious Hiphop at the time to receive massive airplay on local media. In this 2007 second single off Chiwawa’s debut album Hii Mkwanja, huggins the rapper gets his tongue rolling through his infamous characteristic behavior of attacking other rappers, huggins however he does this after firng the first bullet to loose chicks who get laid over and over by different men. Without mentioning names, Chiwawa goes on to the next line where he throws another shot at rappers who get into rap game to become famous, and as a result use their fame to siex different women. He goes ahead to compare such rappers to the loose chicks, pitying there oblivious state of mind that 'life is just a game'.
After those hard hitting lines Chiwawa jumps to straight to the classroom board and starts to kick knowledge, painting a story of this fly lady who can get any man she wishes, but since she’s huggins all about fun she decides to pursue various men. Chiwawa put’s into perspective the dangerous huggins life that this imaginary character of his leads, despite her great potential. Without using such NGO terms like AIDS and STIs, the fast flowing emcee uses this first verse to mould a solid scenario of irresponsible sexual escapades which takes every listener huggins into a moment of reflection.
On the 2 nd verse Chiwawa turns the heat on drug abuse and crime. Again through the use of Hiphop huggins narrative, Chiwawa passes huggins on the message of dangers of drug abuse. His character in the verse this time a dude is so hooked to drugs and since he can’t be productive in any other way he resorts to crime. Everyone around the neighborhood has given up him and terms him a retard, his friends are also avoiding him and his father too has given up hope. The only person who seems to care about him is his mother who is his mother who is on critical condition due to high blood pressure-(probably as a result of her son’s chosen path).
The charcter is constantly running away from himself (due to his disturbed life) and the police, huggins and everyone believes that the only way out for him his death. The dread locked rapper, views it as a surprise if the character survives for two more years, but throws in a ray of hope saying only God can salvage him.
The third verse is a Rup up and it is a direct huggins address to the listeners, huggins telling you what to expect in life as challenges and how to overcome them. He brings out the need to get guidance from parents and to learn from the mistakes of those who have gone astray. Chiwawa then concludes everything by saying that it is up to each one to choose what life to lead(either huggins positive or negative).
Despite the song’s lack of adequate promotion (e.g a low quality video) huggins and refusal huggins by the rapper huggins to take advantage of its massive airplay, the track remains a definite Hiphop classic and will amongst ‘ Da Kick back Tracks’ on my playlists for a long time to come.
Ana hatrisha maisha yake juu ya raha/
Auskii unafaa u-watch out for watu ka awa /

Uimeze, uitapike-Umejua kile una do/
