The original version of Magix Enga’s Gwala was a hit but the remix is totally out of this world because it features the one and only Ex Ray – who is one third of Rieng’ hitmakers Boondocks Gang.

I have been jamming to it since it was released a few days ago and believe you me, Gengetone has never sounded this amazing ladies and gentlemen.
Both Magix Enga and Ex Ray are amazing lyricists with unique voices and maybe that’s the reason why this jam is so infectious. It’s like have the very best on one track.
Just like his previous releases, Ex Ray demonstrated his unique ability to play around with words. He’s interesting to listen to because his rhymes are random yet impeccable.
For instance, there is a line where he says, “Ita toto akuje nikadoe, nina rungu na ngeus ni kadonye kuna giza hakuna to ma goe, beba riz nikuingize ndani soe, ni ma bush bush ntakuingiza fore, ni ku dush dush ntakuingiza chore.”
I know that line does not make any sense, don’t even bother yourself with figuring it all out. It sounds pleasant to the ears and that is all that matters at this point, don’t you agree?
Magix Enga also came through on this jam. Other than laying an infectious hook, he also proved to us one again that he can rap and I tell you this chap has a mad flow.
The beat and instrumentation is also on point. Anyway, I wasn’t expecting anything less seeing as it was produced by Magix Enga himself.

The video didn’t change much from the original version but I think it’s just okay. However, I didn’t really like how he superimposed Ex Ray’s picture during his part but then again maybe that’s just me. Anyway, Kudos Magix Enga.
