Boondocks Gang educate fans about COVID-19 in new single ‘2020’ (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Boondocks Gang, the group that brought us hits like Rieng, Madam and Kidolee is back with a new jam and this time around they are very serious because they are raising awareness about the corona virus.

Also read: Gengetone is still alive, kind of

The song dubbed 2020 talks about how the deadly virus has caused suffering across the world and led to the death of so many people across the world.

Boondocks Gang

In the song, they urge their fans to stay and follow the directives that have been put in place by the government such as; sanitizing, avoiding public gatherings and seeing a doctor when one has symptoms of the virus.

Although the message that this song carries is serious, Boondocks Gang still found a creative message to pass it and I think that’s really commendable.

One of the reasons why I love Gengetone and the artists behind it is because of their sheer creativity. These guys can come up with random rhymes and it’s just awesome to listen to them as they play around with words.

The first verse by Ex Ray is on point. He is one guy that never has to try so hard to impress and I guess that’s why I’m a big fan of his. You get hooked from the moment he starts singing.

Boondocks Gang come through with 'Sidonyo'

Edu Maddox also aced it. His flow is so smooth and as you’re listening to him you’ll find yourself wondering why he’s so underrated because he is really talented.

Odi Wa Murang’a didn’t disappoint either. I often ask myself why people love him. Is it that he is a dope lyricist or is it because of his voice? Anyway, that is a story for another day, isn’t it?

Also read: Boondocks Gang is the future of Kenyan music

The beat by Magix Enga is impeccable, unlike most Gengetone jams, it’s really subtle and I bet that was done to help you understand the seriousness of the message in the song.

I love the concept of the video though I must say that it felt really creepy at some point. Anyway, the locations, props, styling, dramatization and scene transitioning were also perfect.

Watch 2020 below and tell us what you think.

Nelly The Goon teams up with Odi Wa Murang’a, Breeder LW and The Only Delo in ‘Riba’ (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

The highly-anticipated jam by Nelly The Goon, Odi Wa Murang’a, The Only Delo, Breeder LW, DJ Kaywise, Nifty Boi and VDJ Jones is finally out and we are really feeling it.

Also read: Gengetone is still alive, kind of

The track dubbed Riba, which is a Sheng word that means story, has been getting a lot of airplay since it was released a few hours ago and to be honest, it deserves all the attention that it’s getting because it’s really dope.

Odi Wa Murang'a
Odi Wa Murang’a

Ladies and gentlemen, this song is really infectious and perhaps that explains why I’ve listened to it more the twenty times since it came out. I’m not even kidding.

The musicians who were featured on Riba were well thought-out. It is such a dope combination of talents and if you ask me, this is the best Gengetone jam of 2020. Yup, I said it.

Odi Wa Murang’a totally aced that hook. To be honest, I do not even understand what he is saying but it just sounds pleasant to the ears.

Nelly The Goon also had a sick verse. However, I would prefer that he avoids being raunchy since that is too old now seeing as we are in 2020.

The Only Delo

The Only Delo really came through on Riba. He always has a unique way of expressing himself in songs and to add to that, he is simply interesting to listen to.

Breeder LW did not disappoint either. He is always dope. I was also impressed by the Nigerian artist who goes by the name Nifty Boi. He really spiced up Riba with his English flow because he’s also a bad ass rapper.

The beat on this track is impeccable. Listening to it makes you feel like hitting your local club and having a good time and that is not a bad thing or is it?

The video for this jam is also really dope. I totally love the quality. The styling and scene transitioning were also good and I thing whoever directed it deserves a pat on the back.

Watch Riba below and tell us what you think.

Gengetone gospel should not become a thing!

Posted on by David Kingsley

There is a new music genre called Gengetone gospel and as much as it slaps so hard, I just hope it does not become a thing because it just seems like a mockery of God. Actually, it is.

Also read: Gengetone is still alive, kind of

It all started when Bahati released a song dubbed Taniua with Boondocks Gang which is made up of Ex Ray, Maddox and Odi Wa Murang’a. They are the guys behind hits such as Mboko Haram, Rieng and Kidolee.

Mr Seed followed suit with Kwa Hao alongside Vuva 34 GVNG, Breeder LW, Maddox, Dezian and Kartelo. I know it is only a matter of time before Willy Paul drops his.

Sooner or later upcoming artists will think its okay to release such songs because their role models and the bigwigs in the industry are doing so and it is then that things will get out of control.

Also read: Kenyan gospel artists must wake up

I don’t know about you but I think the fact that gospel musicians are tasked with spreading God’s word should mean something.

They should not mix the gospel with all these dirty songs. It is completely wrong. I did not say that I have a problem with Gengetone, I enjoy it probably more than you but just not when associated with God’s word.

Bahati

A few days ago, I was watched an interview where Bahati why he did a collabo with Boondocks Gang and he said that he is trying to win them over to Christ.

What a joke. Their song was motivated by the need to make money and grow their fan bases. As such, it;s very wrong for Bahati to claim that he is leading Boondocks Gang to Christ because they will continue to make raunchy music.

Even in the song where Bahati featured them, Boondocks Gang threw in some coded and dirty Sheng words and they made me wonder what motivated them to poke fun at God and shoot the video in a Church to rub it in his face.

Watch Taniua below by Bahati and Boondocks Gang.

Dubbed Fimbo, the track has been ruling the airwaves since it was released a few days ago and it is not really hard to understand why because it’s too lit.

Boondocks Gang

I have listen to this song a couple of times since it came out and every time I play it, I marvel at the creativity of these youngsters.

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 artists who were featured on Fimbo did a good job so much so that it’s hard to choose whose verse I loved the most so we’ll just talk about each of them briefly.

As expected, Ex Ray killed it. To date, I can’t tell what I like more between his unique voice and his unique ability to play around with words. The same applies to Odi Wa Murang’a.

Rico Gang

Gray Cee, who is the only lass in this jam, didn’t disappoint either. Notably, she also has an impeccable flow and she is generally just interesting to listen to.

Tirand Rands and Harry Craze also came through. They had some sick verses, the kind that will make you rewind the song as you try to make sense of what they are saying.

Of course, Edu Maddox also delivered. Every time I listen to this lag I can’t help but wonder why he is so underrated because he is very talented.

The beat on this track is dope. It get you in a good mood from the moment you hit the play button. Other than that, it also blends well with the artists’ styles and tempos.

Listen to Fimbo below and tell us what you think.

Odi Wa Murang’a titled teams up with Benzema and Breeder LW ‘Nyege Nyege’ (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

There are days when Gengetone artists make me extremely happy and today is one of days. I have been listening to a new jam by Breeder LW, Odi Wa Murang’a and Benzema and to be honest, I am so amazed by their creativity.

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

The track dubbed Nyege Nyege has been ruling the airwaves since it was released a few days ago and it is not hard to understand why. Ladies and gentlemen, this song is really dope. I’m not exaggerating.

Odi Wa Murang'a
Odi Wa Murang’a

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 artists are amazing lyricists.

I’ve been listening to this jam on repeat over the last few days and one things is for sure, it’s really infectious. I don’t know if it’s just me but this song will put you in a good mood as you listen to it.

The verses on Nyege Nyege are really sick. For instance, you have to admit that Breeder LW did a good job. This guy has a unique ability to play around with words and you just want to keep listening to him.

Breeder LW

As expected, Benzema also aced it. I know you’ll agree with me that he had the illest verse on this track and for him it is never really about rhyming but the things that he says. He has a way of getting his points across.

For instance, in this jam he says “Twende twende nina maradhi radhi ya ngono ngono*2, na leo naekelea si betslip ni rungu hongera, ntakugwara saa ya ngono na aloe vera, panga line kama Rono na Vera.” It’s so dope right?

Odi Wa Murang’a, who’s one third of Boondocks Gang, did not disappoint either. Apart from delivering a dope hook, he also had a lit verse and for him it has everything to do with his hoarse voice.

The beat on this song is also impeccable. It blends really well with the musicians’ styles and tempos. To add to that, it just gives off some good vibes

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

Boondocks Gang drops new hit titled ‘Kawazim’ alongside Sailors and Magix Enga (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

One of the collabos that many people, including yours truly, have really been looking forward to since the Gengetone sound emerged is between Sailors Gang and Boondocks Gang.

Also read: Boondocks Gang is the future of Kenyan music

We’ve longed for the day when the two groups which have been instrumental in pushing the new Kenyan sound will come together on one song and after what seemed like a never-ending wait, that that day is finally here.

Sailors Gang

A few days ago, Boondocks Gang released a track dubbed Kawazim in which they have featured Sailors Gang and the award-winning producer Magix Enga and it’s getting a lot of love from their fans.

This jam is impeccable. As you listen to it, you get to appreciate the sheer creativity of these youngsters as well as the evolution of the Kenyan sound.

Although all the artists on this jam had some dope verses, if I was asked to pick one who I think really aced it then I’d go for Magix Enga. He has a good flow s much so that I kept rewinding his part.

Boondocks Gang
Boondocks Gang

Other than him, I was also impressed by Miracle Baby and of course Odi Wa Murang’a. I am not saying the rest were whack, it’s just that I resonated with the three aforementioned artists.

The beat on this jam is also infectious. Anyway, I was not expecting anything less seeing as it was produced by Magix Enga himself. Believe you me, you can’t resist the urge to dance as you listen to track.

Listen to Kawazim below and tell us what you think.

The song titled Kutu, which is a Sheng word that means dry spell, has been getting good airplay on both TV and radio since it was released a few days ago.

Odi Wa Murang'a
Odi Wa Murang’a

One of the reasons why I really love this jam is because of the creativity of the artists who were featured in it. Each of them has a unique ability to play around with words and make impeccable rhymes.

Take for instance Odi Wa Murang’a – who happens to be my favorite member of Boondocks Gang. He totally aced his verse. To add to that, he has this unique voice that you want keep listening to.

Ex Ray also did a good job on the hook. It’s so dope and maybe, just maybe, he’s the reason I can’t get enough of  this jam.

Boondocks Gang and Magix Enga on Rewind it

Notably, Berry Family also delivered on this jam. I had to pick one of them then I would definitely go for the guy who is known as Blondy because I think I he has a lot of potential. Don’t get me wrong, Krystah and Wesley are also dope.

The beat on this jam is also on point so much so that you won’t resist the urge to dance when this song come on. The video was not that bad either.

The jam dubbed Prr has been getting good airplay on local TV and radio stations since it was released a few days ago and to be honest, we are also feeling it or else we would not be reviewing it, would we?

City Boy

On the surface, this track seems stupid and childish but if you listen to it keenly, you’ll appreciate the creativity of the artists who put it together and the ingenuity behind it.

The first verse by Edu Maddox is on point. His flow is so smooth and as you’re listening to him you will find yourself wondering why he is so underrated because he is really talented.

As expected, Ex Ray really came through on this joint. His verse is really solid. To add to that he has a unique ability of playing with words and making impeccable rhymes.

Boondocks Gang
Boondocks Gang

Odi Wa Murang’a also aced it. Other than the fact that he laid down a good verse, he also did a good job on the hook thanks to his unique voice. Actually, I can never tell what I like more between his voice or impeccable lyricism.

City Boy spiced up the song by introducing a ragga/dancehall vibe. Notably, the beat is also great. However, this does not come as a surprise seeing as it was produced by the one and only Jegede.

I don’t have much to say about the video other than the fact that I loved the quality and of course, the vixens who are featured in it. The scene transitioning was also flawless.

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

Talented producer and singer Magix Enga has released a new jam alongside Arrow Bwoy and Boondocks Gang’s Odi Wa Murang’a and it’s really dope.

Also read: Magix Enga has taken Kenyan music to the international stage

The song titled Banana has been ruling the airwaves since it was released a few days ago and to be honest, we’re also feeling it.

Arrow Bwoy
Arrow Bwoy

If you thought the likes of Odi Wa Murang’a can only sing about sex, drugs and crime then you should brace yourself because this jam is very different, in a good way though.

Believe it or not, Banana is a love song. While I’m not sure if it’s the direction that Gengetone artists should go, I love it because it’s a breath of fresh air.

Once again Magix Enga has proven that he is a jack of all trades. The way he sings his out in this jam, you would even mistake for Chris Brown. Okay, I’m pushing it but you get my point, don’t you?

Magix Enga
Magix Enga

To add to that award-winning producer has a melodious voice, the kind that you just want to keep listening to gender notwithstanding.

We are used to Arrow Bwoy releasing love songs and that means that there’s not much that I can say about him other than acknowledging him for throwing his weight behind this project.

On the other hand, there’s so much to say about Odi Wa Murang’a since he showed us a side of him that many people were not even aware of.

Odi Wa Murang'a
Odi Wa Murang’a

Other than the fact that he sang in Kikuyu and made it sound like French, there’s a part where he is twenging it make you wonder if he’s the same person with risque lyrics on Rieng, Mboko Haram, Mathogothanio and whatnot.

The beat, which was produced by Magix Enga, is also subtle but that does not mean that it’s whack. Actually, I really love it. Although I felt like the video was too simple, it’s still dope.

The jam titled Mdarano, which is a Sheng word that means caressing, has been ruling the airwaves since it came out  out a few days ago.

I totally love this track. Wait, that is something that I say about most of Boondocks Gang’s songs but believe you me, this one is really dope.

Boondocks Gang and Magix Enga on Rewind it
Boondocks Gang

Everytime I listen to these youngsters I not only appreciate their sheer creativity – which is evidenced by their ability to play around with words – but also the evolution of local music.

Ex Ray had a tight verse. He has some dope rhymes that will leave you scratching your head as you are wondering if any of it makes sense which to be honest in many cases it doesn’t.

Iphoolish also nailed it. I honestly don’t know if it’s a Gengetone thing but the deep bass works with him as well as it does with Odi Wa Murang’a.

Maddox did a good job. Truth be told, he’s a dope lyricist, perhaps even better than Odi Wa Murang’a and Ex Ray but for some reason he’s very underrated and I don’t know why.

The hook on this song is very catchy and so is the beat. Simply put, listening to this track instantly puts you in a good mood.

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

The song dubbed Kamweretho, which is a Kikuyu word that means disappearing without a trace, has been ruling the airwaves since it came out a few hours ago.

Joefes

Although this is a party tune, you have to love the creativity of the musicians who have been featured in it. They have a unique ability of playing around with words and this results in some very dope rhymes.

For instance, I think Joefes’ had a tight verse. His flow is also smooth and he makes it look so easy. I am sure that it won’t take long before Kenyans notice his talent.

As you’d expect, Odi Wa Murang’a also nailed it. The truth is that I’m yet to decide what between his hoarse voice or impeccable rhymes make him interesting to listen to, perhaps it’s the latter. You tell me.

34 GVNG's Vuva
34 GVNG’s Vuva

The hook on this jam is so catchy and easy to master. After listening to this song twice, or maybe thrice, you will just find yourself singing along to it and that’s not a bad thing or is it?

The beat, which was produced by Jesse, is also impeccable. Believe you me, this is one song that you can not listen to while seated down. However hard you try, you won’t resist the urge to dance along to it.

Boondocks Gang – a group that is made up of Ex Ray, Odi Wa Murang’a and Maddox – has began the new year with a bang after teaming up with Mbuzi Gang on a new jam.

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

Dubbed Modo Man, the song is about a certain chap who has unique abilities so much so that all the ladies are head over heels for him.

This jam is really dope. As you listen to it, you can’t help but love the wordplay and rhymes that these youngsters are dropping in the song. They make it look so easy!

Boondocks Gang
Boondocks Gang

The chorus by Ex Ray is so catchy and you just want to keep listening to it. It’s very likely that you will master it after listening to this song twice or maybe thrice because it just flows.

As expected, Odi Wa Murang’a and Edu Maddox also did a good job. Their rhymes in this jam are so on point and at some point you’ll just have to rewind their parts because it sounds so good to the ears.

Notably, Mbuzi Gang also impressed me and I wish I had known about them earlier. I tried searching for other songs by them but my efforts bore no fruit. Anyway, that’s a story for another day.

Mbuzi Gang is really dope. Although I don’t know his name, I must say that I really loved the first verse which was by one of them. His rhymes are out of this world and is it just me or does he sound like Odi Wa Murang’a?

Odi Wa Murang'a
Odi Wa Murang’a

The beat on this jam is also impeccable. Apart from the fact that it blends well with the flow of these youngsters, you will agree with me that it gives off a FOMO vibe.

One of the things that I loved about the video was the vixens who were featured in it, they can really shake it! To add to that, the editing was also flawless.

Boondocks Gang’s new collabo with Dezian titled ‘Katika’ is a banger (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Rieng’ hitmakers Boondocks Gang have dropped a new song with Dezian Tyrone and it slaps really hard ladies and gentlemen.

The song titled Katika, which means ‘to dance or get down’, has been getting massive airplay on local TV and radio stations since it came out a few days ago.

I really love this jam. The lyricism on it is so dope, some of the verses will leave you scratching your head as you try to figure out what the artist meant.

Dezian Tyrone
Dezian Tyrone

I feel ashamed to say this but the truth is that I am just discovering this Dezian’s music but as they say, it is better late than never. Notably, he really did justice to that hook. His verse was also on point.

As expected, Boondocks Gang also came through on this jam. Of course, I really loved Odi Wa Muranga’s verse. At this point, I believe it more to do with his deep voice than his lyrics. I just don’t know.

The beat on this track is also sick. I am not really surprised seeing as it was produced by the one and only Sadafa. He did a great job.

Watch Katika below and tell us what you think.

Boondocks Gang, a group that is made up of Ex Ray, Odi Wa Murang’a and Edu Maddox, has teamed up with Joefes and Iphoolish on a new jam and we are really feeling it.

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

The song dubbed Vuvuzela epitomizes the growth of the trio since they made their debut on the local entertainment scene with Rieng in December 2018.

Odi Wa Murang'a
Odi Wa Murang’a

As you listen to this jam, you realize how the group has matured musically over the last few months. Their wordplay, rhymes, punchlines and general flow have really improved since we first came to know about them.

One of the people who really impressed me in this jam is of course Odi Wa Murang’a. His verse begins in Kikuyu and I think that the main reason why I love it never mind the fact that I don’t even understand the language.

Notably, the hook by Ex Ray is also catchy easy to master. Trust me, you’ll just find yourself singing along to the song because it’s so lit.

I also loved Joefes’ verse. I’m actually ashamed to say that I dismissed him the day I first heard a song by him. Had I known he was this talented, maybe I would have been easy on him.

Joefes

The beat for this jam is dope. As you are listening to it, a picture of people getting down to it comes to your head and that simply means that it’s a club banger.

Talented Kenyan singer Odi Wa Murang’a, who is one third of Rieng hitmakers Boondocks Gang, has released a new project with Raj, Babito Mlynchez and Ashmaley and it’s getting a lot of love.

The song dubbed Dhugudha, which is a Sheng’ word that means derriere, has been getting a lot of airplay on local TV and radio stations since it was released a few days ago.

Odi Wa Murang'a

I don’t know about you but this song made me appreciate Gengetone even more because it’s so damn catchy. It is the kind of songs that leaves you wondering why you weren’t born a musician.

The lyricism on this jam is really dope. Other than Odi Wa Murang’a and Raj – who we all know are talented – I must say that I was impressed by Babito. This lad has some dope flow. If you ask me, I’ll tell you that he totally nailed it.

As expected, Odi Wa Murang’a also did a good job. Apart from his witty rhymes, this guy has a deep voice that makes you hooked to his verse.

Raj Kenya

If you know me, then you know that I am such a huge fan of Rajiv Okemwa, better known as Raj. In my eyes he can’t do wrong so we’ll give him a pass.

The beat for this jam, which was produced by Sadafa, was also dope. I was literally dancing on the seat while writing this review. Props to him.

Ochunglo Family’s Benzema and Breeder LW have linked up on a new jam titled ‘Inde’ and it’s too lit (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Do you guys remember Breeder LW? The chap who amazed Kenyans when he dropped a dope verse on Khaligraph’s Khali Cartel 3? If you do, then you would be pleased to know that he has a new jam.

Breeder LW has linked up with Ochunglo Family’s Benzema, also known as Alejandro, and some guy who goes by the name Jimito on a new song titled Inde and it slaps really hard.

Inde is a Sheng word that means. It’s a corruption of innadi which I sure most of you are familiar with. Basically, it is used to shrug off people who think you are missing out on something.

I really love this jam. I’ve been playing it since it was released a few days ago and I still like it. Every time I play it, it’s as if I am listening to it for the first time. I’m not even exaggerating but this is a masterpiece.

The lyricism on this jam is unmatched. I don’t know about you but it took me back to the early and mid 2000’s when the Genge wave was sweeping across the country.

Breeder LW’s verse was totally dope. Believe you me, his punchlines and rhymes will leave you scratching your head as you try trying to understand what he meant. To add to that he has this deep bass like Odi Wa Murang’a.

To be honest, this was my first time listening to a jam by Jimito but I was not disappointed. This chap has some good rhymes and killer flow. I kid you not.

As expected, Bezema really came through on this jam. His verse seemed so effortless. At some point, he said, “Class 5 science ilikua na njaro kutuonyesha vagina ndani ya daro,” and I could not believe my ears.

Notably, the beat on this jam is also on point. More than anything, this is what will make you miss the early and mid 2000s when Genge was gaining popularity. Props to the producer – Son of Ojuka.

The song dubbed Kimangoto has been receiving massive airplay on both local TV and radio stations since it dropped a few days ago.

Initially, I was skeptical about collabos between new-age artists and those who’ve been the game for a bit longer but I have since changed my mind. I think it is the right way.

I enjoy both Timmy Tdat’s and Boondocks Gang’s music but when they came together on one song I lacked the right words to express myself.

This jam is a masterpiece not for any other reason but because it gives you the best of both worlds. It also shows that Gengetone is here to stay.

Although I loved Ex Ray’s and Odi Wa Muranga’s flow and rhymes in this jam, I know you will agree with me that the most underrated member of the group i.e. Edu Maddox nailed it in this one.

As expected, Timmy Tdat also came through. He style is very similar with these youngsters so much so that would be hard to tell who is who if you didn’t know their faces.

The one and only Vicky Pon Dis did a good job on the beat. I honestly can’t wait to see people dancing to this jam the next time I am out and about.

Although the video concept was also dope, I would have loved it even more had they not picked a school as a location and put on uniforms. This is entirely because of the things that they are signing about.

King Kaka has dropped a sizzling hot collabo with Odi Wa Murang’a titled ‘Nataka’ (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Award-winning Kenyan rapper and singer Kennedy Ombima, better known as King Kaka, has released a new collabo with Odi Wa Murang’a who is one third of Rieng hitmakers Boondocks Gang and we really love it.

The song dubbed Nataka, which is a Swahili word that means I want, has been receiving massive airplay on local TV and radio stations since it was released a few days ago.

The was a time when I that it was wrong for new-age artists to collabo with their peers who have been in the game for long and I have to admit that I was wrong because this jam slaps so hard.

Who would have thought King Kaka and Odi Wa Murang’a would one day drop a collabo and that it would sound this nice? I bet no one did.

Nataka is party anthem. It talks about people who refuse to leave the club until they black out and have to be carried home.

There are many reasons why I love this song, the fist is because the lyricism by King Kaka and Odi Wa Murang’a is so dope and you just want to keep listening to it.

The second reason is beat. You see, it is not everyday that we hear a reggae beat on such a club banger and it actually sounds so nice. Props to the producer who is none other than Ilogos Music.

The video was also on point. Trey Juelz did a good job in bringing what they were singing about i.e the party scene to life.

Magix Enga has teamed up with Boondocks Gang, The Kansoul, Dufla & King Kaka and it’s too dope (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Singer-cum-producer Magix Enga has released a new jam with Odi Wa Murang’a and Ex Ray from Boondocks Gang,  The Kansoul – which is made up of Mejja Madtraxx, Kid Kora – Dufla & King Kaka.

The song titled Bad Gyal has been receving massive airplay on local TV and radio stations since it was released a few days ago.

There are several reasons why I love this song. The first is because the beat is really crisp. It slaps really hard and you just want to keep listening to it.

Magix Enga really did a good job on the beat. You get the feeling that he didn’t come to play from the moment you hit the play button.

The second reason is that the lyricism in this jam is dope. The new-age and and old-age artists who were featured on it really came through.

If I had to pick my favourites from each side, I’ll obviously side with Madtraxx and Odi Wa Murang’a. In my opinion, their verses were really tight.

Wa also have to applaud Magix Enga for his dope hook. It’s really infectios, especially because of how he sounds.

However, I must say that I wasn’t really impressed by the video. Maybe you have a different line of thought but I feel it was too plain and boring nevermind the fact that they had some beautiful vixens who were shaking it.

Femi One has teamed up with Boondocks Gang, Mbithi and DJ Lyta on ‘Nyoko Nyoko’ and it’s too lit (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Kenya femcee Femi One is back with a new song almost two months after she released Moto and we are really feeling it ladies and gentlemen.

The song titled Nyoko Nyoko is a collabo with Odi Wa Muranga and Ex Ray, who are both from Boondocks Gang, as well as Mbithi The Kamba Boy and DJ Lyta.

I don’t really know what nyoko nyoko means but it’s provocative. Anyway, I’m kidding, it means mother but its often used as an abuse. In this this song, it’s more of the latter.

Femi One

But we really don’t care because this is a party anthem. If you are looking for content, then I would advice you to look elsewhere.

I love this jam not for any other reason but because the delivery by all the artists i.e. Femi One, Odi Wa Murang’a, Ex Ray and Mbithi The Kamba Boy was really on point. They really had some dope verses.

However, if I had to choose one then I’d go for Femi One, as you would  easily expect, followed by Odi Wa Murang’a, they are the business.

Of course, Ex Ray’s verse also stands out because of his rhymes, that will definitely make you scratch your head, and unique voice, so does Mbithi The Kamba Boy’s verse.

The beat fir this jam was produced by the one and only Ilogos Music and I really love it. However, I feel some people will say it’s too slow because it’s not like most of the Gengetone beats that we’ve gotten used to.

The only thing that didn’t really amaze me is the video, I felt like it was too cliche. Most Gengetone songs are shot on the streets. That notwithstanding, Johnson Kyallo did a good job, especially during the editing.

Established Kenyan artists should not stoop too low

Posted on by David Kingsley

New-age artists have taken over so much so that established artists i.e. those who have been in the game for 5 years or longer are almost unheard of since they barely get airplay on TV and/or radio stations.

Also read: New-age musicians should not do collabos with established artists, here’s why

In a bid to remain relevant in the local entertainment industry, some established artists have been doing collabos with the new crop of local artists. However, this has not sat well with many people.

A good example is Jua Cali who has been the talk of the town in the past one week after word went round that he was working on a song with Swat Mtoto Wa Eunice and Odi Wa Murang’a.

Odi Wa Murang'a

Whichever way you look at it, the legendary musician has stooped to low by working with the two. Those who have always held him in high regard, including yours truly, have lost respect for him.

Granted, the new Kenyan sound is hot on the streets and in clubs at the moment but I never though we’d see Jua Cali, of all people joining, the bandwagon.

Think of it though, what will you think of the Kiasi hit maker if you heard him singing things like Lamba Lolo, Wamlambez and Punyeto? Would you still admire him?

For someone who has had a career spanning two decades, you would expect that he has learnt the ropes and will stay afloat in the industry come what may but that seems not to be the case.

To be honest, I’m on of the people who is really waiting for his collabo with Odi Wa Murang’a and Swat Mtoto Wa Eunice to drop because I want to see how far he is willing to go to reclaim his fan base.

The argument that he is trying to ‘lift’ the two is invalid because anything that they touch turns into gold instantly. As such, Jua Cali might be the one who’s in need of ‘lifting’.

Boondocks Gang has teamed up with Quanchy on ‘Fimbo’ and we love it (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Boondocks Gang – the group that became a household name in Kenya after releasing Rieng – is back with a new joint alongside an upcoming singer who is known as Quanchy.

Also read: Boondocks Gang is the future of Kenyan music

The song dubbed Fimbo and I’m sure you know what it’s all about unless you are too young which makes me wonder why you are reading this article in the first place.

Anyway, the song opens up with Ex Ray and as you would easily expect, he really brought his A-game. His wordplay and rhymes were really on point. They will leave you scratching your head.

Boondocks Gang

For instance, the part where he says, “Msupa ako tire amenyanya na cookie, kumba mshudhe arushe mkuki ashikwe na nyege atoke mkuki…”

Ladies and gentlemen if this is not greatness then I really don’t know what is. I really don’t.

Odi Wa Murang’a also came through on this jam. Apart from his rhymes, there’s just something about his voice that makes you want to listen to him over and over. Quanchy also did well.

To add to that, the beat was also dope. The hook sticks in your head the first time you listen to the song, “Fimbo hadi upate kidumbo*3.”

I would rate this song at 8/10 but that’s just me. Maybe you feel it deserves better. Listen to Fimbo below and tell us what you think.

Odi Wa Murang’a Vs Ex Ray: Who’s the dopest lyricist in Boondocks Gang?

Posted on by David Kingsley

I’m sure most of you are fans of Boondocks Gang – the group that burst into the limelight after releasing the song dubbed Rieng’ or Peleka Na Rieng’ if you like.

Also read: Boondocks Gang is the future of Kenyan music

In the last few months, the trio i.e. Odi Wa Murang’a, Ex Ray and Edu Maddox, has become such a huge deal that some of the group members have even landed collabos with leading local acts.

That notwithstanding, music fans still love to compare them against each other and more often than not Ex Ray is pitted against Odi Wa Murang’a, or is that not the case?

Odi Wa Murang'a
Odi Wa Murang’a

Some argue that Odi Wa Murang’a, who is known for witty lines such as siwezi mwaga nje hii si maji ya mbosho is the illest of the three.

Others on the other hand claim that Ex Ray whose popular line is ninajiaminia nina nguvu bila njugu is the supremo.

As such, we want you, our dear readers to settle this matter once and for all by telling us who you think is the dopest lyricist between Odi Wa Murang’a and Ex Ray. Leave a comment below.

Meanwhile, you can listen to their latest release dubbed Mboko Haram below. Enjoy!

Boondocks Gang is the future of Kenyan music

Posted on by David Kingsley

I’m always awed by Boondocks Gang, the group that treated us to Rieng, because they are so creative. You agree, don’t you?

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

The group that is composed of; Odi Wa Murang’a (Kid Furnace), Edu Maddox and Ex Ray is without the future of Kenyan music, if they tone down their vulgarity.

Within a very short time, Boondocks Gang, has moved from an unknown group to one of the most most popular groups in the country.

Just like other new-age artists, they are really aggressive. They are fighting for a space in a very competitive industry an as such they’ve had to set themselves apart.

Boondocks Gang

Apart from releasing a number of solo projects since 2019 begun, the group has also sought collabos with some of the leading artists in the country.

Some of the people they have worked with this year are; Willis Raburu, Kristoff, KRG The Don, DJ Lyta, Gwaash, Rankaddah, VDJ Jones, just to name a few.

These collabos have played a big part in expanding their fan base and as a result, their name has really grown. I just hope  that thy will keep the momentum.

Listen to their latest collabo with Krg The Don dubbed Mathogothanio below.
