Remove the beat, read the verses and you will be enjoying some poetry there. He goes deep so often but the artistry in him that makes Mandela Mwanza to be Third Eye has remained the same.

Aged 20, Third Eye released his first mix-tape The Ten Plagues of Moses towards the end of 2005. He released his second mix-tape The Final Call in 2006 collaborating with renowned artists from Kenya.

In 2006, Third Eye returned to Malawi and released two hip hop albums Imagine Being Jesus and Not Knowing It and Taking Kandy From a Blind Baby in 2007 and 2009 respectively.

In 2008, he was one of the four local artists featured in Malawi’s first hip-hop documentary and photo exhibition which were sponsored and facilitated by Goethe Institute.

He suffered a broken leg in 2010 while playing football. The combination of two childhood loves football and hip-hop is evident in the soccer-inspired album The Hat-trick in 2010.

Despite releasing two mix-tapes in Nairobi in 2005 and 2006, Third Eye says his music journey started with Imagine Being Jesus and Not Knowing It in 2007.

His First Vernacular album is Kumidima back in 2011. The album, produced by Lemekezani Phiri. The song ‘Dzuka’ continues where ‘Good Mourning’ from his first album left off.

The song ‘Misonzi’ is the musical epitome of being fed up and speaks for Malawians that have had enough of a low level of economic welfare, political irrelevance and the effects of neo-colonialism.

Kumidima moves into a more hopeful frame of mind with the song ‘Mose Wa Mawa’ which celebrates children as the source of future hope and gives a glimpse into the average situation of Malawian youth in areas and how their life stories usually end up.

If you want to listen to one of his complex metaphors ever then listen to Kingdom’s pride from the album "Taking Kandy from the Blind Baby" as it uses other animals to describe human nature.
