THE DAWN of 2005 has seen a sudden ressurection of malawian hiphop music.Several malawian artists have emerged on the scene with mind blowing releases.One of these artists is a group known as the basement. It first made a mark with the release

of their hit single ‘vimbuza’ which managed to make it to the number one spot both on power101 radio listeners charts and hiphop chart.their anxiously anticipated album ‘nu state of mind‘ is now out and after listening to it i should say the four-boy group has not disapointed they have managed to come up with a unique

.sound that appeals both to the all people without straying from the hiphop genre.watch out for banyamulege which will follow the footsteps of vimbuza and am just a hoodrat which will

definately pass as a ghetto anthem.with nice rhymes and flows from AB,CYCLONE and RANDY combined with skillfully crafted beats from DIZZY and a string of producers working on the album including DYNAMIKE The album is destined to be a success
