Resilience Chekera is undoubtedly one of Zimbabwe’s longest-running and most respected lyricists. Going by his more popular moniker - GZE his career has spanned 2 decades that have seen him win multiple awards and rise to the top as both a solo and group artist. His deep raspy voice and impressive penchant for using Zimbabwean street language and marrying it with complex metaphors have earned him a dedicated cult following amongst a wide swathe of Hip Hop fans.

His career began in the early 2000s as part of the Urban Grooves trio aptly titled 3rinity (Trinity). The group comprised of GZE, Vito and Andrew Msonzah. Melding Hip Hop with a number of genres such as R&B, Rock and the burgeoning Urban Grooves sound, they quickly captured the attention of culture. This culminated in the group’s song Jesa being featured on the cult classic Chamhembe Plus compilation album. This song was also part of their critically acclaimed debut album Ini Iye, Naye that also featured hits such as Wadiwa Wepamoyo and Nditore.
