Emmanuel Manyeruke, also known by his Zimdancehall name Guspy Warrior, is set to launch his Long Play (LP) album “Badman Vibes LP” on March 20th, The Midweek Watch has been informed.
Manyeruke, who is the son of one of Zimbabwe’s greatest gospel artists, Mechanic Manyeruke, attended his primary education at St. Mary’s Chitungwiza, before completing his O-Levels at Msengezi High School and A-Levels at Prince Edward.
After his high school education, Guspy Warrior as he affectionately known in the Zimdancehall scene, decided to pursue his passion for dancehall and reggae music.
“Dancehall and reggae is what I was doing, and I am still doing that now,” he explained, acknowledging his father’s gospel roots.
Guspy warrior revealed that he had previously recorded a gospel album called “Emmanuel” and some gospel singles, as he believes that “gospel is good news.”
However, he also emphasized that he is not necessarily doing what his father couldn’t do, but rather, he has chosen to explore both secular music and a bit of gospel.
Despite facing some challenges in the past, such as albums not receiving the desired airplay, Guspy Warrior remains determined to uplift his brand and navigate the changing music landscape.
He expressed his appreciation for fellow artists like Nutty O and Triggerman Spartan Warrior, who have recognized him as a role model.
“I am a leader, and I believe in creating new avenues for the future generations,” Guspy Warrior said, noting that he used to sing in English, just like Nutty O.
He also showed great respect for Nutty O, who has waved the Zimbabwean flag high by featuring with Jamaican artists like Demarco.
Addressing the issue of drug use among young artists, Guspy Warrior strongly advised against the use of substances like “dombo mutoriro,” warning that it can be “cancerous” and encouraging youth to seek rehabilitation.
“It’s better to seek rehabilitation because it is not the end of the world,” he said.
As he prepares to launch his “Badman Vibes LP” the zimdancehall also promised his fans an album later in October, demonstrating his continued dedication to the zimdancehall genre and his ability to connect with his audience through his music.
