Holy Ten and MrCandy link up on “Hunhu Hwako,” a short Shona record that turns a hard look at character into an easy listen. The Zimbabwean rapper handles production himself here, while Samanyanga Sounds puts the record out.
“Hunhu” speaks to character or humanity in Shona, so the title points straight at someone’s nature. The song then follows that nature into a relationship and sits with the flaws people carry in.
Holy Ten, born Mukudzei Chitsama in Harare, moves between hip hop and Afrobeats. He has also worked alongside names like Nutty O and Freeman HKD, so the range is not new for him.
MrCandy slides in for a second perspective, and the two voices trade the story back and forth. At two minutes and 36 seconds, nothing drags. BrendonXG directed the official video, and the clip has already pulled steady views since it landed.
The mood stays warm and conversational rather than heavy. It suits a quiet evening, a long drive, or any moment when you want something honest playing low.
