This comes after the award-winning artist realised that mixing two different genres is always a winner.Jah Prayzh, real name Mukudzeyi Makombe, is a well-known contemporary musician in Zimbabwe.  He has risen to the top of the Zimbabwean music charts with his number one hit productions.  He is not only celebrated in his home country but also in the whole of Africa. He produced hits like Sungano from his album Tsviriyo that has many appreciating his command of the Shona language.Vee said that he is very excited about this move, as it will improve his career as a musician.'This man is a divine singer.  He sings mostly in Shona and I am sure if I bring my Setswana mix to the song then people will love the track.

 This will also be good not only for us as we will be able to up sales in both countries but also for the two countries' relationship,' he said.He added that Jah's stage presentation and depth of his content is his greatest weapon.  He said the collaboration would also be done to promote unity between the two countries.'Music brings people together.  It has the power to unite people, even if people do not understand the language they may somehow feel the connection with the song,' he said. Vee mentioned that so far his album, Supernatural Vol 1 is doing very well locally and in other countries. 'It is amazing how people have got to love my first gospel inspired album.  The love and support I have been getting from Batswana and my other fans in other countries has been phenomenal to say the least,' he said.

He added that so far the album has been flying off shelves. He said: 'Even the bookings are pretty good as there is a lot of them now.'The album has hits like Eita, which won song of the year award and Baba, which seems to be stealing the limelight from Eita.Currently the two are starting a tour where they will be testing the waters to see if people will appreciate their collaboration.  The tour is intended to show both Zimbabweans and Batswana the magic they can do together on one stage. The tour will begin in Gaborone on February 17.

 'We will be in Francistown on the 18th and in Harare on the 20th.  We will be hitting Harare again in April,' he said.He concluded that he is sure people will be amazed as he believes he will gel well with the Zim star.  'Our fans have to expect the best of music from our combination.  I have been rehearsing so some new acts should be expected,' he said.
