By Kwanele Mswelanto

Award winning Masvingo rapper Jungle Loco has finally dropped his much-anticipated album titled Gwala Mnandi.

Gwala Mnandi is a 13-track album which tackles the socio political, economic, and cultural issues in Zimbabwe.

According to Jungle Loco, Gwala Mnandi, recorded at Studio One Thousand in Masvingo and features from Visza, Shian, Outspoken, Dj Skqatta and D Varren said Jungle Loco, explains the sweetness of money which carries with it many names including moola, Gwala, nyoso, shagi, chibhanzi, gwalanga.

Commenting on the Album Jungle Loco said, “The production is niice! Better than Bata Mastreets. I am always trying to outdo my previous projects. I love soul melodies if I am to go deep with it, pianos, strings, pads, sub passes and jazz basses. Hard hitting percussions and low pitches basses on turn up tracks. The vibes should be different from what is already there. Has to be super jungly.”
