Rico Gang, the Kenyan Gengetone group that is behind hits like; Chachisha, Bluetooth Device and Kimonyoski, has dropped a new track with Ssaru and Ketchup from Nigeria and it is getting a lot of love from their fans.

The song dubbed Piki Piki Maua, which is currently ruling the airwaves, is based on a childhood game that I am sure most of the people who are reading this article are familiar with.

If you don’t know it then you did not have a blast like the rest of us when we were young and it shows. Anyway, I am just kidding. Let’s get back to our review.

This jam is really awesome. It’s so dope. I’m a huge fan of the two artists who were featured by Rico Gang on this jam i.e. Ssaru and Ketchup and that only means that I have to like it.

All the three members of Rico Gang i.e. Harry Craze, Tirand Rands and Gray Cee did such a good job on this track. If you ask me, I’ll tell you that there is no jam by Rico Gang that does not slap hard.

These guys have a dope flow and mad punchlines and I mean all of them. However, if I had to pick one then I would go for Harry Craze because of his unique voice. He’s just awesome to listen to.

Like I mentioned earlier, I am a fan of Ssaru. She is so dope and it is not a surprise that she has been nicknamed the queen of Gengetone. This lass has some dope wordplay. Trust me.

Ketchup also did a good job. He added some Nigerian vibe to this track and it sort of spiced it up. He also had a very sick verse which blended well with those of Rico Gang and Ssaru.

The beat and instrumentation are also catchy and it makes you feel like hitting the club the moment this song comes on. The video was impeccable especially the styling and scene transitioning.

Watch Piki Piki Maua below and tell us what you think. Enjoy and kudos to Rico 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.

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.

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.

Dubbed Jegi, which is a Sheng word that means a woman’s derriere or ass, the latest single by the group that is made up of Harry Craze, Tirand Rands and Gray Cee has tongues wagging.

If you ask me, I’ll tell you that this is their best jam so far. Everything is on point, from the lyricism to the beat to the video.

For starters, we must agree that these guys have impeccable wordplay and witty rhymes. For instance, there is a part where Tirand Rands says, “Nabonga chafu ni kama nimemeza duster, rungu strong cd yangu huwa plaster.” What!

To add to that, he has deep bass somewhat like Odi Wa Murang’a from Boondocks Gang so much that if you listen to this song for the first time on radio you would easily mistake him for the latter and no one would even blame you.

Harry Craze, who is known for the “Si unajua tu ni nani” phrase also did a decent job. His flow is really dope and it’s likely that you will love his verse more than the rest but then again maybe that’s just me.

It’s a fact that Gray Cee, who is the only lass in the group, never disappoints and she did not let us down in this song either. Perhaps the line that most of you will remember is, “Kopesha Tala tununue kishada, supu ya jaba na sembe ya jana.”

To be honest, I wasn’t really pleased with the beat on this jam but maybe it will grow in me with time. The video was really dope though. I particularly loved the coloration.

Rico Gang, the group that is famed for their Chachisha hit, is back with a new banger that we can’t vibing to.

The new jam by the super-talented group, which is made up of Triand Rands, Gray Cee and Harry Craze, is known as Bluetooz Dewise (Bluetooth Device).

If you own a Chinese-made sub woofer, then I’m sure you know what inspired this jam. For those of you who are in the dark, the ‘fake’ subwoofers write or say, “The bluetooz dewise is ready to pair.” when you try to connect your phone or laptop to it. (I hope you get the joke).

Anyway, in the context of this new jam by Rico Gang, it means something different. It implies two adults agreeing to have coitus i.e. they are ready to pair, you get it?

I was impressed by the wordplay by all the three members of the group. They all killed it with their witty rhymes and wordplay.

However, if I was asked to pick one then I would confidently say that Gray Cee, who’s the only lass in the group, totally outshone the rest.

In her verse, she says “Huyo chali anadhani mi ni bluetooth, ntamdump nimflash kama pupu, anadhani amenipa majuju, atani marinate anichinje ka kuku, mi ni mjanja siwezi kukupea, hata ukiwasha hotspot flash share, you’re not my type hatuwezi kupair, get out of here I don’t care, FYI mi ni…”

The beat, which was produced by Waka Waka (40 Miles Music), is also on point. As I was listening to the jam, I could visualize people busting moves to it in a club.

Although the video concept was simple, I think it came out well. I really loved the editing and effects. Big up to Samaritan 254.
