Hop in the bandwagon, sit tight and let me take you through today’s 5 must know things in the music scene.

It’s just 3 days to the much projected 8:8:8 or like he best puts it:

#tareheNANEsaaNANEmweziwaNANE which is the official release date for Octopizzo’s new

single 'Salute Me' featuring M.I. The namba nane’s finest however hasn’t got his heart and soul all geared up for the launch but has also set aside some time for some noble cause. The rapper has been out and about of late in a bid to give back to the society after a successful career since he first shot up in the music scene. Octopizzo is set to partner up with his German friends to help Generate clean water to the people of Kajiado County, after he gave a hint of his upcoming project through a post on his official Facebook fan page.”The Love that the fans give Me I can’t pay by Music only I have to do more than just rapping, I have to serve them, Clothe them, play with Them, Feed them, This October I'll be Collaborating with Friends from Germany to Bring Fresh and Clean Water Project to Kajiado...” I concur with his wise words that “Each of us is a unique strand in the intricate web of life, and here to make a contribution, and my contribution is to #MakeA_D_ifference”

#4.Ukoo Flani Maumau’s Zakah switching to Gospel?

Impossible is the word my loving mum taught me not to ever use. I’ve let it sink in and eons later am actually tempted to use the word I once considered a taboo.
