Maskiri

Maskiri, born Alishias Musimbe on 6 April 1980, is a Zimbabwean rapper. He was born in Chitungwiza, a residential town about 25 km out of Harare, where he grew up and attended Chemhanza Secondary School until being expelled for truancy and bullying other students. He was then enrolled in St. Aidens High School in Chitungwiza but refused to continue, saying: "St. Aidens was just dull. It lacked the joy I had found at other schools and I left. It was simply not interesting."
