This could be the case with fast-rising musician Jah Prayzah.

From his first collaboration with Somandla Ndebele titled Kumusha back in 2011 which did fairly well; to the biggest yet Sean Timba with Sulumani Chimbetu in 2012, Jah Prayzah says he still has many pending offerings and requests for collaborations.

“It is unbelievable honestly. I have so many collaborations that I cannot even remember myself,” he said jokingly.

“Some of them I may not even be able to fulfill as I also have my own schedules to fulfil, but I feel it is a positive development that musicians are now opening up to collaborate.

“It is so exciting even for the fans when Mudhara Oliver Mtukudzi jumps onto the stage to perform Sisiriya with me.”

Recently he collaborated with Ammara Brown on the song Kure Kure which is by any measure a great product.

Beyond Zimbabwean boarders he has worked with Charma Girl on his song Dali Wangu from his forthcoming album Kumbumura mhute and another with Ningo titled Kuperekedza mwana.

Jah Prayzah also features on Guspy Warrior’s track Love yako off his next album Wedzera mawatts due on March 22 at Harare Gardens.

The gangly musician has already tipped the track to ruffle feathers on the dancehall scene.

“Well I cannot say much about the song because it is Guspy Warrior’s but it is a great track that may cause ripples on the market,” said Jah Prayzah.

According to Guspy Warrior’s manager Walter Mbanje the new album is a step ahead of his other products.

“The new album is a step ahead from the previous albums because we have grown and have produced something unique,” he said.

“It is still being polished up but will have about 11 tracks and if all goes according to plan it will include a song featuring Jah Prayzah.”

He said the album will also feature Guspy Warrior’s father Machanic Manyeruke and the Msengezi High School choir, his former school.

Guspy’s previous album Handikwanisi  kuti   ndizvitaure caused a stir on the music scene with the popular song  ita seunononga.

The song featuring Jah praizer is a love song tittle” love yako’ and was recorded at Legendary music. Working with him was  a great experience.
