"Motion" by Medskolar: An Unfiltered, Rhythmic Rallying Cry from Harare to the World
Emerging from the gritty streets of Harare, Zimbabwe, Medskolar pairs up with one of the few producers in the world who can keep up with their desire for unique sound, visionary (and eccentric) producer Amvis Instruments to release "Motion," a raw, emotive track that is much more than a song; it is music with kinetic energy. In "Motion," Zimbabwean linguistic swag, Afrobeat bump, and global hip-hop flair intertwine with the youthful pulse that is relentless in its insistence on disallowing stillness.
"Motion" feels alive from the first bar. You can hear the space it was recorded in: the laughter, the noise, the breath. Vocals were not recorded to be perfect, but present. "Takabaka" and communal call-outs dismantle any notion that this is just a one-person show; it is a working brotherhood. Embracing imperfections rather than erasing them gave ambiance and vocal grit a place to dwell. The final product of "Motion" is a song that sounds like Harare: lively, unprocessed, and proud.
Medskolar's delivery has a relaxed swagger, while conveying the musings of urban life, dreams of ambition, and unapologetic identity. The Amvis Instruments production employs Afro-flavored drums and bold mixing vocals in the lead, while lateral ad-libs round sufficiently from ear to ear to reflect the movement of the title, "Motion." This is not a song, but a statement. It is Harare on wax. And it moves.
