Hip hop heads Stitch and JuBlak collaborate on a grand scale mixtape!

I never seemed to get amazed enough during my Chemistry practicles. Especially  when it came to the reactions of varying chemicals; some reactions would lead to combustion , others would synthesis or decompose, while in some reactions one chemicals would displace the other.

This is exactly what I feel happens when two artists collaborate. Artist come together trying to combine their specialty in varying fields hoping to get a good product out of the collaboration. Well some collaborations succeed while others fail. Such is the beauty of life; it’s never predictable.

However for today, let’s look at a successful collaboration of two hip hop artists JuBlack and Stitch in their new “Keep Moving” mixtape.

 

“This mixtape generally goes out of the norm,as we did not stick to normal Kenyan way of doing a mixtape, It took us an entire month to put together this awesome piece of work, a lot of work and research too." The zealous Stitch says.

''Normal is boring,'' That's all JuBlak had to say. The mixtape has themes varying from love, street philosophy, personal life experiences, and its hip hop enough for its target audience. Stitch and JuBlak may not be familiar in your radios, but this mixtape definitely has earned them respect and recognition in the music industry.

Though many might have known JuBlak as gospel rapper owing to the fact that he did his first two debut singles,Follow Me and Nitasonga with heavy intones of gospel content and his big hit song alongside Holy Dave,the rapper cum singer says, ‘'I grew up in a strong Christian family,hence the christian values in my songs,but i grew up independently in the society which heavily influenced my way of thinking and writing."

 If there is a uniting theme on Keep Moving, it’s that JuBlak seems more reflective than usual, a rap veteran reconciling himself with his place in the music business.

On the other hand “Keep Moving” the theme song includes a verse from Stitch that could be interpreted as an assertion of gangster authenticity: “Nimetoka place ni kungori sana ukibonga mbaya wanakuangushanga”  to mean, “Am from a place you get shot for negative commentaries”.

I think my words won't be enough to effectively express what these two have come together to make. Why don't you follow the link below and get to listen to that good old feeling of real Hip hop.

Keep it Mdundo for more!
