Holy Ten featuring Anita Jaxson released the music video, "Appetite" on 22 February 2021. It is a declaration of Zimbabwean pride because of the beat, the lyrics and the music video itself. With his collaboration with the hottest MCs at the moment Anita Jackson has that special effect on the listeners. The beat itself has a drum effect plus an African flute that stays consistent and infectious throughout the track. It seems interesting.
Besides the beat, what is the meaning behind the track? The way it seems, Holy Ten and Anita Jackson seem to talk about their success in the rap game. For instance, the Holy Ten said :
"Handina appetite yeizvozvo / Handina interest /Yekulinker team rese/ Machinda farirai zveikoko"
which means :
"I have no appetite for that / I have no interest / To link with the whole team / Guys stay in your lane"
From my perspective, Holy Ten is saying that he doesn't have time to argue with people who don't value his craft. Instead, he is more focused on honing his skills as a rapper. The way he is chilled yet at the same time emphasizes the lyrics shows that he takes his rapping skills seriously.
Anita Jaxson on the other hand goes hard on the lyrics. She emphasises her title as one of the hottest MCs at the moment. In the lyrics, she talks about her success in the rap game :
"Mi uh 5 plus 5 Ten / Queen of the hype (That my name) / Milled spice mi uh peng/ Cool and calm mi uh zen"
With her fast-paced lyricism, she has clearly shown that she is the hottest MC's in the rap game
The visuals of the music video have that dance vibe. Everyone in the music video is just having fun, doing their own thing. Ever since the music video came out, there has been a lot of hype around it. Some have gone on to create the "The Appetite Dance Challenge." It has proven to gain a lot of recognition. The track currently has 130,597 views on YouTube.
In a nutshell, Appetite has proven to have gained a lot of recognition. The two MCs have set the tone in the hip-hop scene They are one of the hottest MCs at the moment. With a beat that stays consistent and infectious throughout the track and two MCs that go hard on the lyrics, it deserves success. Therefore, from an African perspective, I rate the track 10/10.
Holy Ten is currently working on an album titled, Risky Life
