Ceejay a.k.a Kudakwashe Besa and raised in the mean streets of Mbare, Cee Jay's is a story of rising from obscurity to prominence through determination, grit and sacrifice -- a theme he explores vigorously in songs such as Sinsi which features Melvin C. "This album aims to inspire myself and others to soldier on in spite of what life throws at us. It is about striving for success against the odds stacked against you, and also about unity, peace and togetherness. It seeks to bring understanding on who we are as a people, where we are coming from and where we are going." It is from the humble Mbare surroundings that Cee Jay got acquainted with music, learning to play the acoustic guitar and receiving mentorship from the late Edwin Hama. Growing up at the peak of the reggae phenomenon in the 1980s he could not escape its influence which is telling in his songs such as Huyanga. "We listened to the late Bob Marley and drew immense inspiration from him. I was also a Lucky Dube fan for whom I wrote a song Tell Me Why dedicated to his memory following his tragic death." Fort Worth, Texas -- where he is now based -- ushered in the world of hip hop and brought about his first album, Screwed, Blued and Tattooed which, according to Cee Jay, sold over 9 000 copies. This was followed by Desperate Measures which he promoted extensively in the UK and Canada. Cee Jay says the third album is a break from the mundane themes he explored in previous offerings and is "geared towards enlightening listeners on the challenges of life in the Diaspora" and the attendant problems they pose to the fabric of the family in such songs as Ndinodzoka and Ziyaspora, which bring to the fore that life abroad is not as rosy as it is made out to be. Turning to Zimbabwe.
