Lamba Lolo singers Ethic named best upcoming artists 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

It has been a wild 2018 for four young kids who make up Ethic but it seems it was all worth it.

The group, which comprises of Swat, Reckless, Zila and Seska, have been named the best new artists in the industry by Mdundo since they have managed to maintain relevance with every song they have released since shooting to fame.

Mdundo, which has spread it wings to other African countries to offer streaming services, will be monitoring artists’ performance and popularity.

“Mdundo Download Awards has three categories of validity. Artists’ popularity growth is acknowledged by the number of music downloads they accumulate collectively on the Mdundo platform,” a statement by Mdundo read.

Drama

The group has been in all kinds of controversies including legal battles but they have maintained their momentum, dropping hit after hit.

They have worked with the Kansoul and have another collabo on the way with Nigeria’s Mr Eazy who said he’s a huge fan of them.

48-year-old DJ Pinye angers fans after saying he can’t play “Lambo lolo” or “New Position” by Ethic

As much as controversial rap group Ethic has gone viral with their hit “Lamba Lolo”, not all music lovers are in support of them. At least not yet.

Veteran DJ Pinye recently revealed that he can’t play any of the kid’s songs because they are not yet up to bar. Ethic, which comprises of Swat, Seska, Reckless and Zila, have been enjoying a lot of airplay on local radios mainly because of their nasty lyrics.

Speaking during an interview on NRG Radio, the popular DJ, who has been in the industry for almost three decades now, longer than the four kids have been on this planet, said that artists have to prove themselves first before he plays their songs.

Khaligraph Jones

He told Kamene Goro and Andrew Kibe who host the morning show that artists like Khaligraph Jones now enjoy airplay from him but that wasn’t the case a while ago.

“There are artists whose music I did not play back in the days including @KHALIGRAPH and DNA but their career has grown. I cannot play Lamba Lolo or New Position. Djs shouldn’t play mediocre music,” he said on NRG’s Breakfast Club.

Here’s how fans reacted:

Blake @TheeApolloh: @Djpinye1 is kinda right, the two songs are just breakthroughs but with zero moral content

Holy Grail @James_Nevricks: Imagine not playing Lamba Lolo because you think you are too mature. Tragic

DJ RëS@resresnation: If such music is what my audience want …I will play them.. I’m a Dj, my job is to make my audience happy…

Orb of discord @nyotttu: DJs ni entertainers…..not moral police

Edgar Ja Bay ®     @jamlekjakababa: Everyone is entitled to opinion but imagine sio amust saa zingine uonge. Such a reckless statement with a lot of irony in it. You can play international songs that are literally trash but local musicians who are busting their balls to make music cant get a playback from you. Smh

Kenyan slang Lamba Lolo goes international, makes it to popular dictionary

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

A naughty slang that Kenyans came up with as a joke has now gone international, thanks to everybody, including those Umoja kids that released a song about it, making sure everyone understands what it clearly means.

The popular word has now made it to the Urban dictionary. The word became a huge topic of discussion recently as Kenyans tried decoding the slang.  Artists such as Eric Omondi also jumped on the wave and released a song based on the same.

A few errors?

Urban dictionary defined it explicitly and some online users who have seen the translated meaning however said the examples given in sentence weren’t quite correct.

“That chick Knows how to Lamba Lolo (she know how to give a blow Job)
The Senator Ali-Lamba Lolo (The senator was Fucked)
What will you tell your mates, Let them wa-Lambe lolo ( the friends will mind their business)” Examples in sentences.

Here’s how they defined it:
