In a powerful show of unity between Zimbabwe’s two biggest hip-hop hubs, NoHeeps linked up with Essential Sundays, an award-winning platform under 3rd World Entertainment, to host a Harare showcase themed “Denim & White.” The collaboration wasn’t just another event, it was a deliberate cultural exchange, exporting Bulawayo talent to a major Harare stage and reinforcing the growing bridge between the two cities’ hip-hop scenes.

Handpicked to represent Bulawayo were Chriss J.P, Yungkay, Oxzy, and Blvck For3v3r, with Sonk accompanying the delegation on behalf of the NoHeeps management team. The move highlighted NoHeeps’ continued commitment to artist development and national exposure for Bulawayo creatives.

The team touched down in Harare on 14 December 2025, just a day after the Zim Hip-Hop Awards, where 3rd World Entertainment walked away with the “Brand Supporting Hip-Hop” accolade. Still riding the high from the early-morning celebrations, the NoHeeps and Essential Sundays crews made their way to On The Roof at Travel Plaza, the venue that hosted the night’s showcase.

The lineup delivered a solid blend of talent from both cities, featuring names such as AB3L X, Slime Fox, Million Gwapp, Mr Attention, Shebeen Rap, Raas Venge, Saiiren, alongside the Bulawayo representatives Blvck For3v3r, Yungkay, Oxzy, and Chriss J.P. The night stood as a clear reminder of what’s possible when promoters and artists collaborate across city lines. DJ Spice held the vibe down, spinning a heavy rotation of local hip-hop from both Bulawayo and Harare and keeping the energy high throughout the event.

But the trip didn’t end on stage.

After the show, the NoHeeps artists headed back to their accommodation, where they were joined by producer Ab3l X and artists Griffin Makwiramiti and Raas Venge. With recording equipment set up, the space quickly turned into an impromptu studio session, with artists collaborating and recording new music deep into the night. The raw, behind-the-scenes moments were later shared through vlog clips by Yungkay on Instagram and reposted on the main NoHeeps account, giving fans a glimpse into the creative process.

From performances to late-night studio sessions, the Harare trip was fully documented, capturing both the grind and the brotherhood behind the music. As anticipation builds around the unreleased material recorded during the visit, NoHeeps continues to position itself as a key connector, pushing for more cross-city collaborations and helping shape a more unified Zimbabwean hip-hop culture.
