If at all there are Kenyan rappers who are keen on ensuring that Kenyan music goes beyond our beyond our borders then I’ll tell you for free that it’s a group known as TnT which is made up of Timmy Blanco and Twenny Eights.
I don’t remember the first time I listened to any of their songs but I can tell you that I was so hooked immediately so much so that I played the song titled Christopher Wallace almost 20 times. Trust, me I’m not exaggerating.
TnT reminds me of a lot Camp Mulla. Just like the latter, Timmy and Twenny decided not to go with the flow or what was popular at the time and believed that people would still listen to them and they actually do.
At the moment, Gengetone is big so much so that if you are not releasing lewd songs you would think that no one will listen to you but that is actually not the case.
These guys are so good and if you listen to any of their songs for the first time, it would not cross your mind that they are even Kenyans especially because most of their jams are in English from start to finish.
They not only have good punchlines, their wordplay is also really on point. It’s the kind of lines that you hear and you just stand to give them a standing ovation. Okay, maybe I’m pushing it but you get the point.
Their prowess is unmatched and the way I see it, their music can be consumed by just anyone; from the guys who are used to Peleka Na Rieng kind of jams to die hard Travis Scott, Drake, Tyga or even Migos fans.
One thing that makes me really happy is the fact that they are Kenyans and maybe, just maybe they will bring a BET Award home some day.
Watch their latest release dubbed Cahoots below and tell us what you think.
