The album, a follow up to his second one titled Nobody Can Stop Reggae is titled 10 Hit Songs and is due for release this month.

It was produced by Nasper, Tafara Muza, Mutsa and acclaimed DJ Tamuka who produces Jah Prayzah’s music.

Speaking from his Gweru base, Legion who is popularly known for his Mudhara Wemangoma anthem that was produced by top producer, Oskid, said the tracks on the new album are mainly dancehall and Afro-dancehall.

“I’m preparing to launch my third album around mid-September. It’s a project that’ll definitely keep people entertained and it’ll show the growth of my brand.

“The tracks are namely Dhafu’dhunda ari kutwerker, Janet, Halo my babe, Shohwera, Mai Sorobhi, Dream gal, Madiro, Tinodhakwa Foshoro, Mukadzi Wekubhawa, Itsika yaMwari and Handipinde Nemwoyo,” said Legion.

“With technology being embraced by locals, I decided to shoot more quality videos for this album after realising that people appreciate visuals more than just audios,” he said.

Legion rose to fame in Gweru being one of the few Zimdancehall artists to emerge from the town. Due to his intimate attachment to his hometown, he has performed at various local events such as the Gweru Summer Splash in 2014 which was organised by Chipaz Promotions. He also performed at shows in South Africa.

In 2014, he composed a song for the city of Gweru after it turned 100 years. – @mthabisi_mthire.
