BLAQPOINT In 2002 appeared on the debut single Amai vaLeopold, with the trio SKULL CRACKERS, the trio was hardly revolutionary, their music was based on the URBAN GROOVES era. A popular Zimbabwean style of music for mostly the youth. Amai vaLeopold, which translates to ‘Leopold’s mother’ rocked the POWER F.M ,Hitsville top 20 for four weeks at number one with the assistance of KEVIN ‘PRINCE OF the Airwaves’ Ncube. Skull Crackers saw their song roster with some of Urban grooves finest material. The decline of their Mai vaLeopold fame led to the rise of a solo career. He is among some of very first hip-hop artists to incorporate elements of vernacular and R&B elements into their rap style. Although making music is paramount Blaq Point has worked and shared the stage with legendary names like Kapitaĺ K,Ps Quint,King Labash, Mizchif ,Mau Mau, Psycho world.
