It seems the man and his producer Willard "Slimaz" Magombedze have done their homework in making sure fans are not short-changed.
The musician told The Herald Review that it was easy for him to come up with a good video script.
"When you write a song you get an image in your mind and it becomes easy to come up with a script for the video. This also explains why it takes us a short time to come up with them," he said.
The musician, however, could not divulge how much financially he used on the videos which seem to be high-quality production.
Songs like "Jerusarema" and "Tiise Maoko" were shot in Vumba while the bonus track "Hello" was shot in Kariba.
The other videos were done in Harare.
"If you look at the videos, you will see that we are trying to meet international standards. It is not about how much we use but the impact of the videos to society," he said.
In the video for "Jerusarema", the musician seeks to win the hand of the king's daughter, while in "Tiise Maoko" he fights an unidentified creature in the jungle.
The video for "Hello" depicts an all white boat cruise for the musician and his companions.
