There are songs that when they hit you for the first time you instantly know its a banger. That was the effect from a new collabo joint by Funky _ Jazz artist Vera and American artist Kojo which was produced by United Arab Emirates based Daynjr titled Grab My Waist.

The uptempo dance, love track is a pure work of talent and magic.

Kudakwashe Maria Chisvo  affectionately known as Vera, fuses funk, pop and jazz in all song writing styles and techniques and she brings it all out in the song. Inspired by both local and international artists such as Hope Masike, Erykah Badu and Nneka, Vera has created her own unique genre and style. She has been spiralling up and the latest release proves she is unstoppable as she keeps courting international talent such as Kojo.
