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.

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.

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.

34 GVNG (Good Vibes No Guns), the group that is behind big hits such as Olunga, Poko.T and Wabebe, has dropped a new jam alongside Jegede and Manio and it’s a big tune.

The track dubbed Miti Ni Dawa has been getting a lot of airplay 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? Okay, maybe we would but you get my point.

Jegede

For starters, let me state that I am a huge fan of 34 GVNG. In as much as they are talented, sometimes I feel like they are so underrated because they don’t get a lot of attention like say Boondocks Gang, Sailors or Ethic.

Anyway, that is a story for another day. Let us get back to our review. The two members of the group who are on this track really did a good job.

For some weird reason I can’t tell with certainty who the two are but it’s likely that it is Vuva and B.Razor and I think the former did a good job. His ability to play around with words is impeccable and so is his flow.

Jegede also aced it.  I mean, it is his song after all. He had some witty rhymes and to add to that his flow was not that bad and he also made a sick beat for this jam.

Listen to Miti Ni Dawa below and tell us what you think. Enjoy!

Boondocks Gang drops new jam ‘Kamweretho’ alongside Sailors Gang’s Shalkido and Vuva (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Boondocks Gang – the group that became a household name in Kenya after releasing Rieng in December 2018 – have released a new track alongside Shalkido (Sailors Gang) and Vuva (34 GVNG) and it’s a big tune.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!
