HIPHOP TUESDAYS: Out With the Old, In Wth the New! Introducing the New Sound of Kenyan Hiphop

The Kenyan Hiphop scene has been slow on the uptake of current trends coming up in Hiphop worldwide and that is perhaps why Kenyan rappers are yet to make a mark with their music internationally.

While Hiphop lovers in the US, South Africa and Nigeria are slowing adopting the trap sound (a new sound in Hiphop that is slowly becoming a norm in the genre) to their music, Kenyan producers have been slow on the uptake with the exception of select upcoming producers and artists choosing to go the trap way.

However the number of rappers in Kenya adopting the trap sound went up in 2015 many of them up and coming, but with big names like khaligraph Jones and Octopizzo popularizing it.

And after listening to the newly released jam ‘25’ by Superprodusir featuring Kevin Grands, the trend seems to be continuing all the way into 2016.
