He says this in a song titled which is a leading single to his forthcomin­g EP.

The song has attracted attention on social media and has seen many fans take up the challenge by recording short videos dancing and singing along to the song.

“Zimbabwe is very hard for everyone and mostly the youths who have to endure unemployme­nt, trying to make ends meet, take care of the family from a hand to mouth economy,” Dzingisai said.

“Most of the youths in Zimbabwe are making their money from informal trading on the streets and the streets has its rules, the dos and don’ts for you to survive.

“One has to stick to his hustle and not mingle or get into the way of the other, discipline is a must if you want to last and make a living o the streets.

“Whatever you get make sure you try to invest in another hustle, don’t spend all you have got on booze and women.

“The informal sector has many casualties and the biggest is getting on the wrong side of the law so by any means try not to be on that side, avoid illicit deals.”

The artiste said the EP, which will be released this month, is titled Love and Other Unnecessar­y Things, and is themed around love and partying.

The Midlands State University Media Studies graduate, who is also a disc jockey, says his name Chidhakwa Chine Swagga was inspired by his imbibing lifestyle and his love for the brown bottle, which he describes as his rst love.
