ExQ's New Album: Rhaka Rhaka (2025)
Enock Munhenga, widely known as ExQ, has once again made headlines with his newest album, Rhaka Rhaka. This latest project is generating buzz as one of his boldest moves yet.
What We Know So Far
ExQ has unveiled that Rhaka Rhaka consists of 15 tracks and features collaborations with a host of notable artists including Killer T, Takura, Roki, Nisha Ts, Nutty O, and Feli among others—making this album a collaborative celebration of Zimbabwean talent.
In an exciting milestone, the album was officially launched at The Hangar in the UK, marking the first UK album launch by a Zimbabwean artist—a groundbreaking moment for both ExQ and the diaspora music scene.
Why This Album Matters
1. A Landmark International Event
Hosting the album launch in the UK isn't just a promotional event—it's a statement. ExQ is extending his reach on the global stage, inviting Zimbabwean music into new frontiers.
2. Star-Studded Collaborations
Featuring top artists across genres, Rhaka Rhaka promises a rich tapestry of styles—from Afro-pop and dancehall to R&B and beyond. Fans can expect a dynamic and varied listening experience.
3. ExQ's Evolution
Known for his genre-blending prowess and storytelling, ExQ has shown continued growth with his previous albums:
Enoch (2023), a 16-track album that included hits like “Sweeter” and collaborations with Jah Prayzah and Freeman HKD,
Verified Milestone (2021) and earlier releases like Tseu Tseu (2018) and Lost Tapes (2020).
With Rhaka Rhaka, ExQ appears to build on that momentum, pushing his sound further into new territories.
Is “Rhaka Rhaka—ExQ’s Most Ambitious Chapter Yet”
When ExQ first broke onto Zimbabwe’s music scene, he brought a fusion of Afro-pop, R&B, and dancehall that quickly set him apart. Over the years, every release has added depth—until now.
Rhaka Rhaka emerges not just as a new album, but as a statement. Fifteen tracks deep, it’s a curated mosaic of sound, featuring voices like Killer T, Roki, and Nutty O, artists whose names alone provoke excitement among fans. It’s an album that represents Zimbabwe’s evolving musical narrative, woven by its most compelling voices.
The choice of The Hangar in the UK as the launch venue is historic. It’s the first time a Zimbabwean artist has debuted an album there, symbolizing not only ExQ’s growing international footprint but also the rising global appetite for Zimbabwean music.
Expect vibrancy, storytelling, and genre-blending mastery across each track. If his past body of work is any indication—think “Sweeter,” “Many Men,” and “Try”, then this album promises to stylistically surprise and emotionally resonate.
What We Can Look Forward To
A deep set of tracks with diverse moods and messages.
Potential standout singles fueled by the album’s high-profile features.
A continued rise in ExQ’s global presence—especially in diaspora communities.
