But that is not it, that is where her love letter to the father of 3 begins;

“You are my dream man, yaani wewe huwezi cheat ata siku moja tu hivi,” she poses.

Going further to try and lure the rapper to slip a bit once in a while instead of tying himself up so much.

“Mwanaume lazima a-cheat kidogo..usikue mgumu ivo,” the conversation concludes.

Rapper Kennedy Ombima, popularly known as King Kaka, has dropped a new jam and we are really feeling it ladies and gentlemen. It’s a masterpiece.

The track titled Zarika, while kind of hails legendary boxer Fatuma Zarika, is off  King Kaka’s mixtape The Servant & The King which I must say is a brilliant piece of work.

In this song, the 32-year-old singer encourages his fans to be as tough as Zarika so that when life becomes tough, you give it strong punches and emerge victorious. Basically, it’s a motivational song.

I totally love this jam. Other than the powerful message that it carries, it’s also a beautiful composition. What did you expect? It’s King Kaka.

This guy has a sick flow. To add to that, the Jam Nakam hitmaker is such a storyteller that you can picture what he is narrating as he goes about his business.

There is also the obvious fact that has a unique and amazing voice – the kind you just want to listen to over and over, gender notwithstanding.

The producer, Kevin Provoke, did a good job on the beat and instrumentation. Other than the fact that they are very catchy, they also blend well with the artist’s flow and voice.

I love the simplicity of the video. Like I mentioned earlier, King Kaka is a good storyteller and he keeps you hooked to him lyricism that you even forget about the video.

Watch Zarika below and tell us what you think.

King Kaka enlists Maima in latest release ‘Mbesa’ (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Celebrated Kenyan rapper Kennedy Ombima, popularly known as King Kaka, has released a new jam dubbed Mbesa with Kamba Benga singer Alphonse Kioko, alias Kithungo Raha Maima.

This jam, which is off King Kaka’s Eastlando Royalty album, is about how money runs the world and how people are willing to go to extreme lengths to have more of it and how it’s elusive.

Maima

The first time you hear Mbesa you will wonder what was going through the minds of Maima and the Wajinga Nyinyi hitmaker as they were recording this song but after hearing it thrice, you’ll acknowledge that it’s a masterpiece.

This track was a result of King Kaka’s brilliant mind. It’s those collaborations that you do not see coming because you think it might be whack but when you finally hear it, you are really impressed.

He has done what most Kenyan artists would be caught dead doing and I think it’s very commendable. The best part is the fact that you don’t understand Maima’s verses, which are in Kamba, can’t stop you from enjoying this song.

Mbesa begins with Maima singing in his native language with a Benga beat playing in the background, the beat then switches up when it’s King Kaka turn and he flows like he means business.

King Kaka

If you ask me, this track is the biggest collabo of 2020. I know there might be some future releases that you probably be better than this one but it will go down in history.

I really love the instrumentation on Mbesa. It’s quite impeccable. I was only surprised that it was produced by Magix Enga. I mean, who would have thought? He is without a doubt the most versatile Kenyan producer ever.

I love also the video for this jam, especially its simplicity. Although it’s kind of modern, the director tried to maintain the theme synonymous with Kamba Benga. Props to him.

King Kaka proved to Kenyans that artists have a much bigger role to play

Posted on by David Kingsley

One of the many things that Kenyans learnt from King Kaka’s song titled Wajinga Nyinyi, which was released about a fortnight ago, is that artists have a huge role to play when it comes to social activism.

The truth is that we listen to music primarily for entertainment but who said that we can’t learn learn a thing or two while at it or that it can’t be used to advocate for certain worthy causes?

I remember the debate that ensued after King Kaka released the song. He got the whole country talking for almost a week but it’s not that he had told us things that we were not aware of.

Actually, the truth is far from that. We always known that vices such as; corruption, tribalism, nepotism, favoritism and what have you exist in our society but most artists think that talking about these things is a waste of time.

They shy away from those kind of songs and prefer to release club bangers because that is what they assume we want to listen to and to be honest that is not always the case. They could also be afraid to speak up.

It is  about time our local musicians realized that they have a much bigger role to play rather than just making songs that they think will entertain us.

The truth is that they have loyalists in the form of fans just like politicians have supporters and that means that if an artist addresses a crucial matter a certain group of people will listen to him or her and perhaps take action.

Just like you, I loved what King Kaka did on Wajinga Nyinyi – which has so far garnered 2.4 Million views and if I’m being totally honest I’d love to see more songs like that as we near the 2022 elections.

Award-winning Kenyan rapper Kennedy Ombima, popularly known as King Kaka, has been the talk of the town over the last few days after releasing a rather controversial song.

Also read: King Kaka is releasing so many songs but nobody cares

The jam titled Wajinga Nyinyi, which loosely translates to you fools, calls on Kenyans to rise up against vices such as corruption, tribalism, nepotism, favoritism and what have you.

In the song, which has so far crossed the 1 million views mark on YouTube, King Kaka tells Kenyans to avoid divisive politics and picking candidates not on the basis of merit but because they belong to the same tribe.

He also mentions various leaders who have been charged with corruption such as; Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru, Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu.

King Kaka further lambastes Kenyans, including clerics, for showering corrupt leaders with praise rather than telling them the truth. He compares the behavior to that of a fool saying:

“Si basi wakam kwa church watoe pesa tulitoa kama tax, na pastor ana-kiss ass ampatie hadi asome ka-verse, na sisi tuko busy wajinga nyinyi tunaclap.”

He goes on to explain the dire situation that Kenyans have to put up with such as unemployment, stalled government projects, being jailed for petty offences, inflation, high taxation, crime, bribery etc.

The Niko Kwa Jam Nakam hit maker claims that he’s not afraid of dying if that’s what it will take for us to realize the mess that we are in saying, “Wakinisnipe tonight si mnajua ni kwa nini, ntakufia watu siogopi mimi.”

King Kaka

The song, which is in the form of spoken words, has elicited mixed reactions since it was released and to be honest, I really love it because it has served as a wake up call to most of us who were too comfortable.

The violin that is playing in the background as King Kaka flows brings a sombre mood and helps you put things into perspective so does the video which was directed by a chap known as CJ.

Generally speaking, this jam which is the fourth single from King Kaka’s upcoming mixtape titled The Servant & The King is a masterpiece which might just start a revolution, if it has not already done that.

Watch Wajinga Nyinyi below and tell us what you think.

King Kaka’s new collabo with Xenia Manasseh titled ‘Dear Stranger’ is totally dope (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Celebrated Kenyan rapper Kennedy Ombima, popularly known as King Kaka, has released a new song with Xenia Manasseh and it’s totally worth your time.

Also read: King Kaka is releasing so many songs but nobody cares

The song dubbed Dear Stranger, which is off his mixtape titled The Servant & The King, is about people that he was really close with at one point in time but they had to part ways for one reason or the other. Hence, they became strangers, sort of.

Arrow Bwoy

In the song, the Run Ting hitmaker mentions the likes of; Femi One, Arrow Bwoy, Avril, Rich Mavoko, Timmy Tdat, Pascal Tokodi, Phy and goes on to reveal how they influenced his life and vice versa.

His message to these people – who he helped rise in the local music industry – is that he’ll always be there for them and will help them realize their dreams, even if they disagreed at some point.

I love this jam. Apart from the fact that it’s well-arranged, it made realized that King King has sacrificed so much for many artists, were it not for him you would have probably never heard about some of the aforementioned musicians.

I don’t know about you but this song too me back to the Kaka Sungura that I used to listen to 10 years (or so ago) and the truth is that I had missed this version of him.

Xenia Manasseh

Notably, Xenia Manasseh also came through on this jam. She spiced it up with her mellow voice and believe you me, even if you don’t like King Kaka, the former will make you love this song.

I also love the instrumentation on this song. The tempo just blends well with both King Kaka and Xenia’s voices and it will get you hooked from the moment you hit the play button.

The video is also dope. The really utilized the location i.e. Lord Egerton Castle. Notably, the scene transitioning was also on point. Props to the videographer – CJ.

King Kaka has dropped a new jam titled ‘Acknowledge’ alongside Japesa and it’s too lit (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Award-winning Kenyan rapper Kennedy Ombima, popularly known as King Kaka, has teamed up with Japesa on his latest release and it’s a big tune.

The song titled Acknowledge epitomizes King Kaka’s growth from the days of Jam Nakam to where he is now which is one of the most sought after artists in the region.

Japesa really came through on this song. His verse is worded in Luo and Sheng and you’ll agree with me that his flow is really dope even if you don’t understand what he’s saying.

Japesa
Japesa

After listening to this song, I searched for other songs by Japesa and realized that this chap is really talented, it’s only a matter of time before he becomes a household name.

As expected, King Kaka also nailed it. His verse was too lit and chances are you’ll have this song on repeat for the rest of the year, which is about six weeks, because of him.

The beat is also sick. It’s is very catchy and blends with with the flow of both King Kaka and Japesa. Props to the one and only Kevin Provoke.

Trey Juelz did a good job on the video for this jam. It is very crisp and if you watch it on mute you might believe that it was shot in the diaspora but then again maybe it’s just me.

Watch Acknowledge below and tell us what you think.
