 Arts Correspondent Rising Dancehall artist Degree Dynamyt real name Everisto Zhuwao has called on fellow ZimDancehall artists to rebrand the genre as it has made a lot of noise but still being looked down upon by the masses. He has also started the year with a new taste of music that might be a game changer in the much criticised Zimdancehall industry. The young energetic chanter say he is inspired by Winky D, he is set to release his debut album titled New DanceHall Testament (NDT).The album is expected to redefine Dancehall music as a culture and not as a way to escape poverty. In an interview Degree said people should expect something out of the Box from him as he claims to be extra ordinary. "I know last year the industry was saturated with albums carrying different messages while others were party anthems and this made to think of something different," he said. Degree Dynamyt believes that the Dancehall industry is saturated with Social messages, but lacks some spiritual sense because people are now singing for money and claim most of them are trying their luck but do not have the talent . "In dancehall artist are over doing the "message" thing and lack prophecy and guidance in their music which I believe it is my role to fill"...The album is a deep analysis of the Religious trends around the globe and Christians should not take it personal. According to Degree the album will quote many religious books, such as the Bible and the Koran and the tracks to look forward to are 'Angel D Varisto' and "Gehena" which is a controversial song that he mentions celebrity he thinks are going to hell. Degree Dynamyt made headlines on social media when he publicly expressed love for Pah Chihera, which Pah Chihera showed ignorance despite his efforts to reach out to her but this did not stop him as he went on to dedicate a song for her which did well from an upcoming point of view. Degree also got caught up in a love triangle with a married woman and her step daughter and went on to release a song titled "Sorry" where he apologised to all affected by the incident, including her mother and long-time girlfriend. The song also did well although the music fraternity thought it was a stage managed event to promote the single. He has worked with many producers like Levels, Rashood, Asap Keagan and hip hop artist Two Cross. His manager is Anesu Masamvu better known as Fats. Locally he Idolizes Seh Calaz, Internationally he looks up to Vybz Kartel and Tommy Lee.
