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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
