About Soko Matemai
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I love bridging the gap between traditional Zimbabwean music or instruments and the modern hip-hop sound. There is a reason why all my music is an intentional fusion of deep, traditional Shona lyrics on a modern sound like Drill. I am a hybrid MC.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? J. Cole, Born Sinner (Deluxe Version) Kanye West, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (Deluxe Edition (Explicit)) Kendrick Lamar, good kid, m.A.A.d city (Deluxe Version) Kendrick, Cole and Ye have been my biggest influences for the longest time. I see a lot of myself in them and I express myself in ways that are similar to how they do it. I wanna make an impact on someone the same way they have had an impact on me.
