Kangemi too has Superb Talent. Check Out these Guys

A mention of Kangemi paints a picture of a heavily populated urban informal settlement characterized by substandard housing and grime where mugging is the order of the day. However, that’s not the case because just like South B (Kenya’s Hollywood), ‘Ungem’ boasts of top artists.

Kelvin Kiprono aka Insectdudu and Bob Onyango aka Terra of the group, Tuffskills, are an afro hip-hop duo set to redefine music from Kangemi. Both born in late 80s, the lyrical maestros fell in love with music from an early age. Living in the same area, they would hook up and compose lyrics and it’s those early roots which have given Tuffskills a foothold of what they do and how.

They launched their music career in 2005, recording with various producers like Sinpare (Tuff Audio Studios) and collaborated with many other artistes. Young, ambitious and passionate about their craft, Tuffskills delves into traditional sounds and draw from a strong social conscience and Nairobi life experiences to catalyze their energy into songs which have deeply relevant lyrics and wonderful melodic hooks.
