Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedIn

Is an annual award ceremony which is run by a organisation called Zim Hip Hop Award Private Limited.

Founding

A brainchild of Aldrin Harrison and Alexander Mutumha, the project was founfd in 2011 to promote and market the hip hop genre in Zimbabwe. The ceremony is held every second week of December. Since the year of commencement, winners would be given a statue known as a fist.[1]

Selection of Artists

To qualify for the awards an artist's music had to be played on Power FM, Star FM or ZiFM Stereo radio stations between October the previous year and October the current year of the awards.

Controversy

In 2012 the organisers split into two camps with one camp accusing another of publishing a fake list of nominees.[2] The following year 2013 the judges withdrawing at the last minute claiming that they were not furnished with artist material needed for a fair and just judgment.[3] Without given CDs for adjudication, the judges felt it was better to withdraw than to award undeserving artists.
