The song was inspired by an undated clip of some boys fighting before one of them runs off and says that he is going to chew groundnuts. I know, this sounds boring until you watch the actual clip.

However, as you can already tell kumumunya njugu in this context could mean something entirely different and it’s not what you think.

34 GVNG

This jam is really dope. Actually, as you listen to it you can’t help but wonder why 34 GVNG is not big like Ochunglo Family, Rico Gang, Ethic, Boondocks Gang etc. Anyway, that is a story for another day.

I like the sheer creativity of these youngsters and if I have to be specific then I will tell you that I was wowed by Vuva because of his effortless rhymes. Trust me, he is one guy you can listen to all day.

His ability to match random words and make them sound pleasant to the ears is worth talking about until kingdom come. Shagwah also did a good job on this jam, his verse is sick.

B Razor could as well be the king of punchlines and this is evidenced by his stellar performance on Njugu. Hitman Kaht, who is easily the baddest producer around, also came through with a sick verse.

I love the hook on Njugu. It’s so catchy and this does not really come as a surprise seeing as it was done by Vuva. As you would expect, the beat by Hitman Kaht is also impeccable. This song is really dope.

Listen to Njugu below and tell us what you think.

Team Ganji drops sizzling track ‘Nane’ (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

I’ve been listening to a jam dubbed Nane by Team Ganji over the last few days and I must say that they keep getting better and better.

Also read: Gengetone is still alive, kind of

Listen, if you chose not to concentrate on the risque things that they are singing about, you will actually  realize how talented these youngsters are.

Team Ganji is made up of Kappy, who happens to be my favourite, Esco, Jabaluta and Kush and if you ask me, these chaps are badass. They are probably the biggest Gengetone artists but don’t tell anyone I said that.

Team Ganji

Nane has some sick verses that will make you appreciate Gengetone. The song just flows because the artists did not have to try so hard to show their fans how creative they are.

Take for instance Kappy, his ability to play around with words is unmatched. You just want to keep listening to him because it just seems like the most obvious thing to do.

The other members of the group are also impeccable. Of the remaining three, I must say that I was really impressed by Kush. His verse was out of this world.

The other two are also dope. In my opinion, Esco is the Swat Mtoto Wa Eunice of this group while Jabaluta sort of sounds like Odi Wa Murang’a but then again maybe it’s just me.

The beat on this track is dope. It slaps so hard and kind of makes you want to hit the club. However, this does not come as a surprise seeing as it was made by the baddest producer around and that is Hitman Kaht.

About the video, I don’t really know. Not that I have any problem with it but I feel like the shaking of derrieres and low-quality visuals is becoming too cliche. Anyway, big up Team Ganji.

Ex Ray teams up with 34 GVNG’s Shagwah and Hitman Kaht on ‘Taniua’ (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Ex Ray, who is one third of Rieng hitmakers Boondocks Gang has released a new track with 34 GVNG’s Hitman Kaht and Shagwah and it’s a big tune.

The song dubbed Taniua, a catchphrase that is commonly associated with Ex Ray, has been ruling the airwaves since it came out a few days ago.

The first time I heard this track, it made me wonder what they were thinking but after listening to it twice or thrice, I came to love it and now I can’t stop hitting the replay button.

Shagwah

Like I always say, if you chose to ignore the raunchiness of the lyrics and focus on the wordplay and rhymes, you will realize that some of these Gengetone are amazing lyricists. I am dead serious.

All the three artists who were featured on Taniua did a good job and to be honest, it’s so hard to choose whose verse I loved the most so we’ll just talk about each of them briefly.

For starters, I was totally impressed by Hitman Kaht. I’ve never know that he can sing let alone rap since we are used to him producing songs not knowing that he is even a better artist.

If you ask me, his flow on Taniua is quite impressive. His verse is on point because he has a way with words to make some dope rhymes that keep you hooked.

Shagwah also aced it. He is also a talented chap. He’s one of the two members of 34 GVNG that I hold in high esteem, the other of course is Vuva. Anyway, his verse on this jam is sick because he has great punchlines.

As for Ex Ray, he does not really have a verse on this jam. The two artists just borrowed  his Taniua catchphrase and incorporated it in the song.

As expected, the beat is also on point seeing as it was produced by Hitman Kaht. Seriously though, when has he ever disappointed us?

Listen to Taniua below and tell us what you think. Enjoy!

Ochunglo Family comes through on ‘Sambusa’ alongside Boondocks Gang and Addi Chokoch (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

If you’ve been wondering whether or not Gengetone is on its deathbed then perhaps you should listen to the new jam by Ochunglo Family, Boondocks Gang and Addi Chokoch.

Also read: Stop looking for content from new-age musicians!

The song titled Sambusa proves that the sound which became popular circa 2018 is very much alive and we can’t just wish it away.

Addi Chokoch with Dmore, Dark C and Hitman Kaht

If you ask me, and I know you won’t, it is probably one of the best Gengetone tracks that have been released since the new decade began because it’s so infectious.

I’ve listened to this song a couple of times since it was released and every time I play it, it’s like I’m hearing it for the very first time. Yup, it’s that good ladies and gentlemen.

One of the things that I totally love about these youngins is their creativity. Their ability to match random words and make them rhyme is quite impressive.

If you choose to ignore the dirty things that they are singing about, you will probably agree with me that they are the best thing that has ever happened to the Kenyan industry at large.

Addi Chokoch never ceases to amaze me. As I was listening to this jam, I began wondering where he has disappeared because it’s been a minute since I heard a song from him. He totally killed the hook for Sambusa.

Ochunglo Family members namely; Nelly The Goon and Ex Ray also did  good job. However, if I had to pick one who swept me off my feet with his lyricism then I would go for the latter nevermind the rique things that he was saying.

Maddox and Ex Ray also brought their A-games on this jam but in this case I feel the former outshone the latter but I know some of you will disagree with me. Anyway, to each his own.

The beat on this track is impeccable. As you;re listening to it, you won’t resist the urge to dance. I don’t have much to say about the video since the format is the same with most Gengetone jams but I feel it works.

Watch Sambusa below and tell us what you think. Enjoy!

34 GVNG begin the year on a high note with new banger ‘Dunda’ (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

34 GVNG (Good Vibes No Guns), who are famed for hits such as Wabebe, Olunga and Poko.T, have dropped a brand new joint and it’s getting a lot of love from their fans.

Also read: Stop looking for content from new-age musicians!

The jam titled Dunda, which is a Sheng word that simply means to turn up, has been ruling the airwaves since it was released a few days ago and to be honest, we are also feeling it.

This track is really infectious. However, I must say that I almost got fed up with the hook because they are just saying the same word – Dunda – a thousand times. Okay, I’m exaggerating but I’m sure you get my point, don’t you?

The verses by Vuva, B Razor and D.O.C are really solid. These guys are really creative. If you are in doubt then maybe you should listen to the song first before you read this review or do them simultaneously.

As expected Vuva really came through on this jam. His ability to play around with words is unmatched. I’m sure he is the reason why many people are fans of 34 GVNG. Well, I could also be wrong.

B Razor also did a good job. He also has some dope rhymes that keep you hooked on his verse. This is also evidenced by his verse in Wabebe. He totally nailed it.

Although it was my first time listening to D.O.C, I was not really disappointed at all. His wordplay skills are on point an and to add to that he has a unique voice that makes him to stand out.

The beat by the one and only Hitman Kaht was also infectious so much so that you will have this jam on your playlist for the better part of the year.

I honestly don’t have much to say about the video since it’s  theme is pretty much the same with the other Gengetone jams that are out there but I feel it works.

Watch Dunda below and tell us what you think. Enjoy!

‘Wabebe’ hitmakers 34 GVNG have teamed up with Ex Ray and Dmore on ‘Ka Ni Mtam’ and we love it (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

34 GVNG (Good Vibes No Guns), the group that treated us to the hit dubbed Wabebe alongside Gwaash, is back with a new jam featuring Ex Ray from Boondocks Gang and Dmore who is one third of Ochunglo Family.

The song dubbed Ka Ni Mtam simply talks about what you should do when she is too sweet. Actually, I feel ashamed writing about this but it is what it is.

I love this jam. If you chose to ignore the raunchiness and focus on the lyrics you’ll realize that it’s such a masterpiece – the creativity in it is unmatched.

I don’r really know who it is but I suspect that it must be Vuva on the first verse. This guy aced it. From the wordplay to the witty rhymes to the punchlines, everything was really on point.

Of course, Dmore also came through. For this lad, you can never really tell whether he is a dope lyricist or it’s how he expresses himself. Anyway, the bottom line is that he is good.

Notably, Ex Ray also did a good job. His verse was too lit. It goes like, ‘ka ni mtam nampatia za ma dumbolela, ka ni chura niko dianga ma zangalewa na zikishika zifike bana kamelewa, muchiri si unapenda masiri…”

The beat which was produced by the one and only Hitman Kaht was also impeccable. It keeps you hooked from the moment you hit the play button. Props to him.

Hitman Kaht could be the baddest producer in Kenya right now

Posted on by David Kingsley

If you hear the words, “Hitman ting, Hitman ting. Badman ting, badman ting” in the intro of a song you better get your eardrums ready because it’s about to get lit!

Also read: Stop looking for content from new-age musicians!

The intro belongs to a chap who is known as Hitman Kaht and in my opinion he’s one of the baddest producers in Kenya at the moment. No lie.

He is behind most of the major of the mega hits by the new-age artists. Some of them are; Wabebe, Katambe, Nare Nare, Get A Tako, Olunga, Poko.T, Kong’o, Kinyonga, Fom, Bamba, Cheza Na Rada, just to name a few.

If  you listen to any of the aforementioned songs, you will definitely notice how unique the beat is. Perhaps this explains why anything he touches turns into gold instantly.

We have to give it to him for propelling the new Kenyan sound and getting us all back to appreciating local music.

You see, most Kenyans, or anyone for that matter, easily relate to a song because of the beat. It’s really trivial, at least to some people.

Therefore, Hitman Kaht and other producers who are working the new crop of Kenyan musicians should be given credit because maybe, just maybe we would still be blasting Nigerian music in clubs if it weren’t for them.

To date, my favorite work by Hitman Kaht, who is a member of 34 GVNG, is Katambe. Listen to it below.
