Breeder LW comes through on ‘Kitu Nono Remix’ alongside Ssaru, Maandy and Boutross (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

The much-anticipated Kitu Nono Remix by Breeder LW, Ssaru, Maandy, Boutross Munene, Denzel Kong and Mastar VK is finally out and it’s a big tune.

If you thought the original version, which was released in December 2019, was dope then you haven’t seen anything yet because the remix is out of this word, quite literally.

To be honest, I’ve listened to Kitu Nono Remix a couple of times and the more I play it is the more I love it because it is so infectious.

All the artists who were featured on this track brought their A-Games and I find it hard to decide whose verse I loved the most because they all nailed it.

Take for instance Breeder LW who is on the first verse. His flow and wordplay skills are so dope and you just want to keep listening to him as he does his thing because it sounds so pleasant to the ears.

Ssaru

The two ladies on this jam i.e. Maandy and Ssaru also killed it. They both have good lyrical skills and I would not be surprised if either of them becomes Kenya’s next biggest femcee.

I’m a huge fan of Boutross Munene, who is one third of the Alliance Domini Family (ADF), so naturally you’d expect me to say that he did a good job but believe you me, he really came through on this one.

Denzel Kong and Mastar VK did not disappoint either. Both of them have some great punchlines that will leave you scratching your head as you try to make sense of it all and that is not a bad thing or is it?

I really love the beat on this jam. If you ask me, the producer deserves a pat on the back for the good work. The video is also awesome, with some impeccable shots.

Breeder LW comes through with ‘Genjeness’ (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Breeder LW, who is arguably one of the most sought after Gengetone artists in Kenya at the moment, has released a new track and it’s a big tune.

Also read: Gengetone is still alive, kind of

The jam dubbed Genjeness has been getting a lot of airplay since it came out a few hours ago and to be honest, we’re also feeling it.

Breeder LW

Most people, including myself, came to know about Breeder LW after Khaligraph Jones featured him on Khali Cartel 3 and he has continued to amaze us with every subsequent release.

In Genjeness, the singer proves that he didn’t come to play as he showcases his smooth flow and dope wordplay skills that will leave you scratching your head as you try to make sense of it all.

He is quite interesting to listen to because he has a unique ability to match random words. His punchlines are also on point.

Breeder LW

One of the things that makes Breeder LW stand out is his deep baritone. I don’t know about you but sometimes I sort of feel like he sounds like Odi Wa Murang’a but then again maybe it’s just me.

The beat and instrumentation on Genjeness are impeccable. Other than the fact that they make this song very catchy, they also blend well with Breeder LW’s vibe, flow and tempo. Kudos to Boutross Munene for the good work.

I absolutely love the video. I think it was executed brilliantly. Everything was on point, from the vixens, the location, the props, the lighting, the concept down to the editing.

Boutross comes through with ‘Shrappin Jinja’ alongside Dope-I-Mean (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Boutross Munene is back! This time around, the Shrap OG has linked up with Dope-I-Mean, who is also a member of the Alliance Domini (AD) Family, to deliver a sizzling tune dubbed Shrapping Jinja.

Also read: Boutross, young rapper who is changing the game

Basically, this jam is abut how the two artist took the Shrap (Sheng and rap) culture to the streets of Jinja, one of the cities in Uganda.

Unlike Boutross’ previous releases, Shrapping Jinja is a bit laid back but that does not necessarily mean that it is not dope. Actually, I really love it.

Dope-I-Mean

As you listen to Boutross you not only get to appreciate the evolution of local rap but also his sheer creativity. He can go from singing to rapping and vice versa with so much ease.

His rhymes are so dope and well-thought out. To add to that, his flow is so effortless and you can’t help but nod as he goes about his business. Don’t even get me started on his punchlines. Put simply, Boutross is the truth.

Dope-I-Mean also has a sick flow and the best part is that he also does not try so hard to impress because it’s natural and innate.

The beat also dope because is mellow which simply means that you get to enjoy the rhymes and flow without having a hard time hearing.

The video is simple but it works since it was a very random idea that crossed their minds when they were in Uganda for the Nyege Nyege Festival.

Boutross drops sizzling banger ‘Hit That Whoa’ alongside Groove Joe (Video)

Kenyan rapper Boutross Munene, who is one third of the Alliance Domini (AD) Family and famed for his Wrong hit,  has dropped a new track alongside Groove Joe and we’re really feeling it.

Also read: Boutross, young rapper who is changing the game

The song dubbed Hit That Whoa, which is off his 6ixviewsii8k mixtape, has been getting massive airplay on local TV and radio stations since it was released a few days ago.

Just like other releases from the upcoming mixtape, I really love this song. As you listen to Boutross you not only get to appreciate the evolution of local rap but also his sheer creativity.

His rhymes are so dope and well-thought out. To add to that, his flow is so effortless and you can’t help but nod as he goes about his business. Don’t even get me started on his punchlines. Put simply, Boutross is the truth.

Notably, Grovee Joe also has a sick flow. She aced the hook for this jam and made it look like child’s play. If you have not heard of this lass before then it’s about time you knew her name.

The beat is also dope. If you are familiar with Dede’s work then I am sure you know that he never disappoints. I dare even say that this beat is the catchiest on the songs that have been released so far.

I honestly can’t wait it hear more songs from Boutross’ mix tape titled 6ixviewsii8k because from the look of things it is totally fire. Enough said.

Listen to Hit That Whoa below and tell us what you think. Enjoy!

Boutross links up with Sol Generation’s Nviiri The Storyteller on ‘Sin Thea’ (Video)

Kenyan rapper Boutross Munene, who is one third of the Alliance Domini (AD) Family and famed for his Wrong hit,  has dropped a new track alongside Sol Generation’s Nviiri The Storyteller and we are really feeling it.

The jam dubbed Sin Thea, which is from his 6ixviewsii8k mixtape, has been getting massive airplay on local TV and radio stations since it was released a few days ago.

Basically, the song is about a lass who’s is causing a certain guy, presumably Boutross, many sleepless nights because of her beauty. Sounds cliche? Wait until you listen to this jam.

Nviiri The Storyteller

Just like other releases from his upcoming mixtape, I really love this song. As you listen to Boutross you not only get to appreciate the evolution of local rap but also his sheer creativity.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about this track is that Bouti, as he is popularly known, is singing more than he is rapping. I never thought we’d see this day because he is a much better singer.

If you listen to the song keenly, you’ll notice the two alter egos that formed the basis of this mixtape. His hoarse voice is the icing on the cake.

As expected, Nviiri The Storyteller also did a good job. The way this chap sings you can tell that it is coming from the heart so much so that if you are the emotional kind you might even shed a tear. Okay, maybe I am pushing it.

Boutross’ voice blends perfectly with that of the Pombe Sigara hitmaker. If you ask me, this is probably the best song from this mixtape.

The beat is also on point. If you are familiar with Munene’s work then I’m sure you know that he never disappoints. I dare even say that this beat is the catchiest from Boutross’ 6ixviewsii8k mixtape.

If you listen to the song keenly, you’ll notice the two alter egos that formed the basis of this mixtape. At some point it seemed like someone else was on the track yet he’s all alone.

The beat is also dope. If you are familiar with Ceezy’s work then I am sure you know that he never disappoints. I dare even say that this beat is the catchiest this far.

I honestly can’t wait it hear more songs from Boutross’ mix tape titled 6ixviewsii8k because from the look of things it is totally fire. Enough said.

Boutross has treated his fans to a new single titled ‘Chase’ and we love it (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Kenyan rapper Boutross Munene, who is one third of the Alliance Domini (AD) Family, has released a new song with TNT and it slaps really hard. Like, really.

Also read: Artist Spotlight: Boutross, young rapper who is changing the game

The song dubbed Chase is definitely one of my favourite songs from Boutross in 2019 because his lines are absolutely amazing and you just want to keep listening to him. It almost seems like he is imparting knowledge in this song.

His vocals are also dope. I don’t know what word best describes his voice but the fact that it’s a bit coarse makes such a big difference compared to the normal voice.

Boutross

TNT’s verse was also fire. However, I;d have loved it more if he had thrown around some Swahili and Sheng words so that he does not sound like someone from majuu but then again maybe it’s just me.

The beat on this jam is also sick. I totally love it. It blends well with the vocals of both TNT and Boutross and it’s very catchy so much so that you will have this jam on repeat for the rest of the year which is about six weeks.

Listen to chase below and tell us what you think. Please get some good earphones/headphones for this.

Boutross has linked up with Wakadinali and Mastar VK on Omoka and it’s too dope (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Boutross Munene, who is easily one of the best new-age rappers in the country, has dropped a new jam with Mastar VK and Wakadinali.

Also read: Artist Spotlight: Boutross, young rapper who is changing the game

The song titled Omoka is without a doubt one of the best jams from 2019. I have listened to it a couple of times since it was released and I still can’t get enough of it.

If you like old school Kenyan Hip Hop or if you are a fan of Shrap (new school), then you should make time to listen to this jam because it blends the two so beautifully. There is no word that describes how good the outcome is.

Wakadinali
Wakadinali

As you would expect, the lyricism on this song is really on point. Some of the verses will make you scratch your head as you try to understand what the person said.

If I had to pick one person form the four artists who are featured on this jam i.e. Boutross Munene, Scar Mkadianali, Mastar VK and Domani Munga, I would totally go for Boutross.

Boutross Munene

I’m not saying the rest are whack but I really loved his verse. You could have a different opinion but that’s mine and you should respect it. Lol. I’m a huge fan 0f the fan of the guy, you can’t even blame me.

Generally speaking, this jam is a masterpiece. Most people, including yours truly, are just waiting for them to give us the video.

Kenyan rapper Boutross Munene, who is one third of the Alliance Domini (AD) Family, has dropped a new joint with Barak Jacuzzi it slaps really hard.

Also read: Boutross, young rapper who is changing the game

The song dubbed Bank, which is the 4th single off Boutross’ upcoming project titled 6IXViewsII8K, is about hustling hard and balling out of control.

Boutross

If you’ve never listened to a Shrap song, chances are you will be head over heels from the moment you play this one. I am not kidding.

As expected, Boutross, or Bouti if you like – really came through on this jam. His flow is so dope that I kept smiling as I listened to him.

My favourite line is the part where he says, “Buda si cheque, cash, kama ni debt, dash kama ni peng, smash, all in the face, splash, eey, maybe you knew me back then but now I’m a new cat, eey, maybe you thought I was broke but I got new stash, eey.”

His rhymes are well thought out. I mean, how can you not pay homage to the Wrong hitmaker or even love Shrap for that matter? Are you even from this planet? I guess not!

Barak Jacuzzi
Barak Jacuzzi

Anyway, Barak Jacuzzi also did a great job. His bars also had some dope bars in this jam. However, in my opinion, he stands no chance if you pit him against Boutross.

This song was produced by a chap who’s  simply known as Oriedo and to be honest, he really nailed it. If you do away with the Swahili Sheng words you might think this is one of those trap jams from majuu. Props to him.

Kenyan rapper Rajiv Okemwa, better known as Raj, has dropped a new joint alongside AD Family and Alu Vee and it slaps really hard.

Also read: Raj is back with ‘Kira’ and it’s getting mad love (Audio)

The song dubbed One is the is the sixth record off his Bae Tuesday weekly series where he drops a new jam every Tuesday from August until December.

As the title suggests, this song is about being picked by a lady as the one i.e. a destined life partner who will stick with her come what may.

Alu Vee
Alu Vee

All the artists who were featured on this song really came through. I, however, feel that Alu Vee’s verse outshone the rest. He really brought his A-game but maybe it’s just me.

His verse goes like, “Nambari moja bila shaka, me nasaka tena me napata, gang gang gang me ni kama Zlatan, all red boy me ni lion hapa, five course meal but you just starter…”

As you would expect, Boutross also had some great punchlines on this jam perhaps this explains why he was given the opening verse.

The other thing that struck me is the subtle beat. If you follow it as the artists flow, you’ll definitely enjoy this jam.

Listen to One below and tell us what you think.

The jam dubbed Friend Zone is all about how ladies keep you as their friends and do all manner of things around you but expect you not to catch feelings (I’m sure most if not all guys can relate to this).

As expected, Boutross came through with some dope bars and witty rhymes on this jam. He has proven to us that he is indeed the shrap lord.

Boutross

The verse that really stood out for me in this jam is the part where he says, “Aay big mummy, big daddy always ready to go deep diving, I love mamas, all mamas trying to show me that big belly in the small yanas, trying to make…”

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

In as much as the song is exceptional, at some point I felt like Boutross’ vocals were lazy or should I say it’s not what we are used to.

The beat which was produced by the one and only Le Mario was also dope. It really gives you the feeling that you’re listening to a Shrap song. Props to him.

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

Also read: Boutross, young rapper who is changing the game

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.

Boutross Munene
Boutross Munene

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.

Raj Kenya

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.

Artist Spotlight: Boutross, young rapper who is changing the game

Posted on by David Kingsley

Boutross Munene, or Bouti if you like, is one of the Kenyan rappers who is redefining local hip hop one record at a time.

The  young rapper, who is one third of the Alliance Domini Family (ADF), is arguably the king of trap music in Kenya.

However, he refers to his genre as Shrap, which stands for Sheng’, which is a language mostly used by the urban youth and Rap.

Boutross is slowly making a name for himself in the local music industry thanks to his heavy punchlines, witty rhymes and lyricism.

He was introduced on the mainstream market by rapper Octopizzo who featured him on his jam dubbed Tergat Gang alongside Barak Jacuzzi.

Boutross Munene

Since then, he has made big strides individually and with his group mates Kay Green and Dope-I-Mean.

Some of his popular jams and collaborations include; Wasoro, Tahtaj, Kweli, Bonoko, Billy Jean and Safi – which happens to be my favourite.

Boutross was among the few African artists who were selected to be a part of Mr Eazi’s empowerment platform, emPawa.

Each artist reportedly received $3000 (approximately Ksh. 300,000) and he used his share to produce and record a jam titled Wrong which is a masterpiece if you ask me.
