‘We Never Thought Our First Song Would Be A Hit Song’- Gengetone Group Ethic Speak On Their Rise To Fame

Gengetone group Ethic Entertainment is one of the pioneers of the music genre that has been in existence for years. The genre’s unique sound track style coupled with some explicit dance is what most young people have been jamming to over the years.

The group is a conglomerate of Rekles, SWAT Mtoto wa Eunice, Seska and Zilla. The group released

The quartet burst onto the scene in 2018 and has enjoyed a meteoric rise since the release of their debut single Lamba Lolo.

Before venturing into music, they were just regular hustlers; with their most popular member Rekles working at a movie shop.

Their first song Lamba Lolo from 3 years ago now stands at 5.1 Million views on YouTube. This wasn’t something they expected, as they revealed in a recent interview on Churchill Show. They expected 5 to 10 thousand views on their song for a start.

They edited the video themselves after realizing that no producer wanted to work with them. The low-budget video was shot in Umoja where members of the group grew up before the fame. In just a few days, their expectations of views had been surpassed and after hitting millions of views, they started receiving calls to perform in concerts and clubs.

Their 2nd song dubbed ‘Pandana’ was also a hit; currently standing at 6.5 Million views . Even though in the recent past most people have criticized Gengetone music for it’s downfall, Ethic have stood their ground and re-ignited the genre. They have now released their latest banger ‘Fanya’.
