SA artists have paid tribute to rapper, Hechichamunorwa Mount Zion Kwenda – better known as Mizchif who died on Thursday.
A producer/ emcee -- Joint Pusher -- who had been working with Mizchief told eNCA that Mizchif's death was a "great loss for African hip hop, as he was a continental emcee."
"His ability to transcend boarders and touch societies in different African countries showcases the magnitude of his influence, which he will unfortunately never relive."
Metro FM DJ Unathi Nkanyi said she met him in 2001.
“I remember most about him his humble nature and giving attitude, unlike the stereotypical idea one has about emcees. A creative heart is always relevant for as long as they want to be. “
Nkanyi said Mizchif’s passing was “a reminder of how fragile life is and what a great man” he was.
The South African based, Zimbabwean rapper died on Thursday morning after a long battle with ill health.
In his heyday Mizchif presented hip hop news on Yfm and was a video jockey on Nasty, a hip hop show on Channel O.
