The song titled Champion, also pays homage to other Kenyan athletes who have flown Kenya’s flag high in past races that were held inside and outside the country.

In the song, Emmy describes them as people who bring love and joy to the universe adding that they have also played a big part in uniting people across the world.

This jam is such a beautiful composition and in my opinion it couldn’t have come at a better time seeing as Mashujaa Day – the day we’ve set aside to celebrate our heroes – is around the corner.

The other thing that struck me about this song was how Emmy switches from her native Kalenjin language to English and vice verse. Although I could not understand the former, I still felt like it was a vibe.

Her vocals were also dope. She this beautiful coarse voice that I can’t get enough of. The beat and instrumentation on this jam was also on point. Generally speaking, it is a dope song that might just get good traction.
