A Self styled Zimbabwean young artist and producer of his own music, Dellon Balani has hit the market with a unique Hiphop sound.
Delloni, is a Zimbabwean artist currently based in South Africa where he is studying Business Studies at the Johannesburg Polytechnique.
The new kid, well known by his fans as 199XWRLD, a name he says ‘represents the new wave of 1990 generation,’ already has 4 hits on his YouTube channel 199XWRLD which seems to appeal to both regional and international audience.
The artist’s trending songs include Plug, Real one, True colors and No feelings.
The song “Real one” tops the views on YouTube with 44k views in 6 weeks.
“Real One is doing well on social media and has more audiences and most of them are international because it is a lifestyle vibe.”
“The message is about the lifestyle of the young generation I am representing in the global community through my music and thus it is doing well on YouTube” he said.
Dellon started music in 2017 and now has produced more than 70 songs.
He is currently working on his debut album entitled “Heartbreak Hotel.”
“My project is a storytelling collection of what I went through and most of young people have been handicapped in life and the album is an RnB and Soul/hiphop genre” he said.
The work life balance is not a tall order for him as he seems to be interlinking his school work and music production as well.
“My music is not for fun but it is for business hence I am actually using my business skills to market my music,” said Dellon.
“I get inspiration from internationally recognized artists in hiphop genre like The Weekend and Partynextdoor based in Toronto Canada so I am doing my best such that I will link up with them and the only way is through cyberspace,” he added.
Speaking about the current hip-hop industry in Zimbabwe, Delloni says his sound is different from already established artists and hopes it will fare well with hip hop fans.
“Nobody sounds the way I sound and I think that is why I have such a different
type of listeners around the world because as an artists you have to go out and bring something new that they have never heard” he said.
