POPULAR hype men -- Abisha Palmer and DJ Fantan -- left fans in awe at the well attended OK Grand Challenge Day Concert held at Borrowdale Race Course in Harare on Saturday.
The pair lit the stage, as they thrilled fans after the horse racing jamboree.
Fans who braved the cold weather were also rewarded for their patience as the duo was on fire from start to finish.
Exuding confidence as ever, the pair had a good day in the office as they unleashed all their artistic verve before a highly appreciative crowd.
Chanter and club wheel-spinner, Palmer, was featuring at the Grand Challenge for a record sixth time.
And true to his promise during the build-up to the event, he was at his usual best.
Event organisers also rewarded him for his loyalty as he was appointed the host master of ceremonies, who introduced the main acts on stage.
He made his task simple as he played sing-along tracks during the break before he introduced the new act.
Palmer's experience in the game was strongly felt as he easily connected with the fans.
He also won the hearts of many when he played Killer T's national anthem, "Kana Ndanyura", whose challenge has taken the music industry by storm.
Not to be outdone was DJ Fantan.
Backed by the superb Chillspot clique of Levels and Ribhe, the burly entertainer made a grand entrance while sagging his pants before taking off his top.
Known for his energy-sapping shows, DJ Fantan performed as if it was his last day.
His playlist was a mixture of Zimdancehall and reggae, which made him a darling of many.
Superstar Jah Prayzah was at his usual best at the concert.
Unlike other acts whose playlists are now predictable, Jah Prayzah reads the crowd's reaction before playing a new song.
Walking with the gait of a superstar, he was also dressed in camouflage, which he last donned a few years back.
In recent shows, he was known for donning fancy outfits after "ditching" the military gear.
A hard worker both on and off the stage, Jah Prayzah is now reaping the rewards of his effort.
