The local acts are eager to drop something new, and although many are wondering if the releases are just for the sake of having something new to indulge fans, the tracks from Bahati and Magix Enga are definitely worth a listen.
Magix Enga – Nairobi
He is probably one of the names to watch out for in 2020. Young, energetic and so talented, Magix Enga keeps pushing the envelope. After several failures last year, he is hitting the mark with his ode to Kenya’s capital ‘Nairobi’. Johnson Kyalo shot the visuals showcasing the cityscape, and Enga proved he is a well-rounded artist rapping and producing the track.
According to Mdundo, ‘Nairobi’ is all about Enga’s experience coming to the capital, when he had no job, no money to survive and later his great success. He goes on to urge young people to work earnestly adding that they too can move from having nothing to being a boss.
Bahati featuring Mejja, Madtraxx – Kererembe
Bahati is at it again, and this time his audience is not as shocked. They say “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.” After the release of ‘Kererembe’ Bahati is clearly not fooling anyone.
Many seem convinced that Eastlands’ finest Bahati is showing his true colors, forgetting the work of the Lord and seeking earthly success. With one scandal after another, this track might have just been created out of spite after his odd collab with gengetone crew Boondocks Gang, as earlier reported. This one is a special message just for the haters.
Burna Boy featuring 2Baba – We Must Groove
This twosome, make for a happy collaboration. The track is a fusion of 70s funk and the classic West African percussion-based afrobeats. The track melts together Burna’s brassy tone and 2Baba’s melodies for a great sound.
Shot in New York, it is clear that these two are taking afrobeats to the world. Burna also released a solo track dubbed ‘Odogwu’ on the same day, 28th February 2020. The visuals are yet to be released.
