Is Noti Flow using Benzema to advance her music career?

Posted on by David Kingsley

It’s not a secret that Noti Flow has really struggled with her music career. Despite releasing numerous songs, none of them has been a hit. I’m sure many of you can’t name one song by her even with a gun to your head.

On several occasions, the rapper has been accused of buying YouTube views and these claims don’t seem far-fetched because how do you explain having over 300,000 views yet no Kenyan has ever heard that song?

I am not saying that Noti Flow is a whack femcee. To be fair, I think she has a dope flow and the kind of attitude that you fall in love with the first time you listen to a jam.

It’s just that things have not been going well for her – at least musically – until she met David Benzema aka Alejandro from Ochunglo Family.

If you ask me, I’ll tell you that he brings out the best in her. I’ve been listening to the song that they released dubbed Foto Moto on repeat since it was released and every time I play it, it’s like I’m hearing it for the first time.

Benzema

Suddenly, people have began to notice what a dope rapper Noti Flow is and all it took was one collabo with Benzema – a song that has garnered almost 200,000 views since it was released a week ago.

Although I do not understand the nature of their relationship, I would say it is mutually beneficial. While Benzema is using her to warm his bed, Noti Flow is using him to advance her music career.

What this means is that you should expect more collabos between the two because each party is benefiting, especially Noti Flow, and as they say, the end justifies the means.

Benzema is a creative genius but we don’t say it enough

Benzema, who’s one third of Ochunglo Family, is one of the finest minds in the Kenyan entertainment industry but I’m not sure many people even see it.

If you ask me, I’ll tell you that he is such a dope lyricist, perhaps one of the finest that this country has ever seen. I am always impressed every time I listen to new song by him because he is really dope.

Unlike most artists, his rhymes are well-thought out and not so predictable. He also has a distinct voice that makes you want to keep listening to him and the best part is that it’s really seductive (no homo).

Benzema also has this swag that you can literally feel as he goes about his business, it just engulfs you. To add to that, he has a bad boy image that has made him a favourite among the ladies.

He has always been my favourite since I first knew of Ochunglo Family. Apart from his unique style, I just feel that he is in his own class as artist.

What you may not know is that, Benzema who is also known as Alejandro, is also a producer and that means that he really understands music.

I was listening to his latest track with Noti Flow dubbed Foto Moto and I was really impressed. If you ask me, it’s about time he went solo because went solo because why not?

Benzema comes through on ‘Story Za Vanessa’ (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Benzema David, who is one third of Kaa Na Mama Yako hitmakers Ochunglo Family, has dropped a new single and his fans can’t get enough of it.

The jam titled Story Za Vanessa has been getting good airplay on local radio stations since it was released a few days ago and to be honest, we are also feeling it.

Benzema (Alejandro)

From my understanding, this song is about some girl he was dating. Apparently, he had to pretend that he had a job and was well-off so as to get her attention. Put simply, he was faking it.

Although I really like this track I must say that I was totally disappointed with Benzema. I mean, why the hell would he release a song that is only one minute and 12 seconds long? Is he even serious?

That aside, his wordplay on Story Za Vanessa is dope so much so that I can’t take my finger off the replay button. To add to that, Benzema – who happens to be my favorite Ochunglo Family member has a natural flow.

Benzema (Alejandro)

He’s also a good storyteller. I’ll give him that. As he sings, you can literally see what he’s saying unfolding right before your eyes and that trait is so commendable because many local artists don’t have it.

The beat on this track is impeccable. Alvin Brown, who is the chap behind most of Ochunglo Family’s hits, did a good job and as such, he deserves a pat on the back.

Ochunglo Family’s Benzema has teamed up with Raj and Boutross on ‘Chorea’ and it’s a big tune (Video)

Benzema, who is one third of Ochunglo Family, has a new jam with Boutross and Raj and it slaps really hard. Like, really!

The song dubbed Chorea is all about having a good time, whether you planned for it or not. If you didn’t know chorea is a Sheng’ word that means ‘to plan for.’

Although this is not the kind of jam that you would expect Boutross or Raj to jump on, I think they really outdid themselves.

I loved the hook by Bouti, as he’s popularly known, there’s something about his coarse and lazy voice (some would call it baritone) that made it outstanding.

Of course, I also loved Raj’s verse on Chorea. I mean, how can I not? This lad’s flow is totally out of this world. No kidding.

In his verse, Raj says, “Shawty wako sikimbizi, wiki mbili tusha jiggy jiggy, ndizi biggy, mimi sitishiki, sishikiki na nakula paka kama mishikaki, ka si pesa baby tena me sitaki nina taki ya akina Taty, Akina Keti me waliniseti.”

If this is not greatness then I  don’t know what is ladies and gentlemen. I really don’t!

Benzema, who in my opinion is the illest lyricist in Ochunglo Family, also did a good job on this jam. Put simply, they all delivered.

The beat, which was produced by DJ Nephas, was also on point. Ivan Odie – who was the videographer also did a commendable job.
