Mya Baganda – Say No (***GetMziki Exclusive)

Mya Buganda (in the middle of the pic) is a member of the group Blu 3 (Black Ladies from Uganda 3) that also features Jackie Chandiru and Lillian Mbabazi. The ladies have all been pursuing solo carriers as can be seen by Jackie Chandiru current hits Gold Digger and Overdose that are packing dance floors across E.Africa. I have been saying this for a while but Ugandan music is on the rise as far as churning out hits, that are crossing over worldwide.

“Say No” is Mya’s official first single from her debut album that will be released this year. I’m not really so sure the angle her management team is rocking by picking the name Mya, but time will tell on the name choice. M. Baganda is staying in line with what her fans are used to in terms of her brand of music. She’s also definitely on her way to capture new listeners unfamiliar with her style, sound and accent.
For now rock to “Say No”

16 Bars – Kenya Cyphersounds (GetMziki ***)

I am sitting here with my boys watching this video and i realize if I don’t share this video with the world i wont sleep well tonight. In all aspects of hiphop I love this video, if this is the Kenyan version of Cypher then I am definitely interested in the next episode of 16 Bars. This is official, Number NANE crew just killed it… Octopizzo killed it but that cat who freestyled before Octopizzo is the truth!!

I wont talk much please take 3 minutes of your time to watch this talents.

UPDATE: Since we are talking about cyphers, here are two more cyphers :Camp Mulla Presents the 254Low Cypher Volume One and two:

VOLUME 1: Featuring YGB’s Octopizzo, Crew Teflon’s Timmy Tim and Camp Mulla’s Yung Kass

Vinticqeezy ft Abizzy – Find You (GetMziki Exclusive ***)

The decision to go international is difficult for any artist, I believe more so for most African artists who have to struggle with the challenge the language barriers. The thing is Westerners are quick to detect accents and as such once they figure that you are not one of their own – they typically zone out and disregard the hits. But somehow I don’t think this is something some of these new diaspora artists have to worry about in the future. On the flip-side some guys will always sound Kenyan – coz listening to this song its every bit Kenyan than any of the Camp Mulla tracks ive been listening to…lol

I’ve been following Vinticqeezy for a while now, the first track we posted was Jiachilie which was back in 2008. I cant explain the amount of growth and maturity I hear on this track and that i have seen with these cats over the years. Jiachilie were hits in their own right blessed by Chava at the time. Fast forward to 2012, Sasabasi drops this hit produced by a Kenyan cat in Houston called Giggz. To me I think this is a sick joint – additional vocals by Abizzy a cat from Sierra Leone and what you have here is a recipe for a good track.

The only thing left here is heavy rotation – and air play. So lets start the blessing from this post.

Collo – Hodi Hodi (GetMziki Exclusive ***)

There is something dramatic happening in the music industry across the board, some artists are catching a hissy fit because other artists who claim to be rappers are now singing. This phenomenon has been sweeping the world in one form or another and with this track I think Collo is no exception to the rule.

Here is the thing, I think personally most people who dont like rappers who sing, are probably more upset at the fact that they actually sound good. Its not that rappers never sang in the past, its just that it took one damn good rapper to make the singing stand out on his own tracks. DRAKE is a perfect example of this phenomenon.

When I listen to this track, Collo is singing throughout the whole track, essentially this is territory that folks like Nameless, Mr. Lenny used to occupy – its new territory for him but to be honest its FRESH. The track is solid. Production wise Alex Mugenda aka BIG SOUL did enough justice to the track. Additional vocals were blessed by a soulful sexy chile called Ammelina Mwenesi if y’all recall she was one of the TPF (Tusker Project Fame) contestants a while back.

Anyway am happy with artists who want to challenge the NORM.. But Collo lets put this album together its long over due…

Q-Bloods – I’m a warrior ft Chibildo

This is a new group from Nakuru, mainly high school kids, their produce is a guy called mtu panya, also out of Nakuru. I met them a few months ago when sir prestige was visiting. Not much i can say except they got a bright future ahead of them. Track is okay, potential is greater. Q-bloods – I am a warrior by getmziki

YOme – Late Hours (GetMziki Exclusive ***)

“I PAY MY DUES WITHOUT M-PESA”

Shit the chile has flows for days, if Wesh is not involved with her writing all I can say is she will be official in a few years. I know some of y’all thought or think I was giving her undue props. But you have to be able to see the future when you listen to some artists. Some people have it, some just dont have it. This artists just has it. Music runs in the family here its inevitable.

The production is solid, the instrumentation in the track I like – this is the second release from the YOme camp and am loving it. African Hiphop really is blurring the lines between Africa and US. Personally I am glad its happening, its about time we started giving the US a run for their money. Now we only need one artists whose not an AKON or a KNAN. We need one artist who comes from the ground up from Africa and becomes a super star in the US and UK .. Like DRAKE did from Canada into the US. I don’t think folks like DBANJ and 2FACE will deliver on that promise. I think they are good artists but they don’t get hiphop – they get Africa. But when you have artist like YOme, KFORCE, CAMP Mulla and the likes then the border lines a slightly distorted and it creates opportunities for these cats to become really big.

YOme – AFRICA is watching you… big ups and GOOD LUCK.

Alikiba Feat. Lady Jay Dee – Single Boy (GetMziki Exclusive ***)

I have this compelling feeling that SEVEN (a good friend and a dynamic media personality in Tanzania) is currently behind AliKibas image. I was watching this interview - and I noticed Ali has a glove on one hand, and the shades through the interview… It just felt like SEVEN has a hand in deciding this mans upcoming look and feel. For what its worth Its working. Looking at the image I updated above you can notice Alikiba is currently putting in work at the gym and the ladies will eat this new image up for breakfast, supper and lunch.

So why talk about the song – when we can talk about Alikibas new image and look? Damn the 2012 US tour will be crazy if this is how he plans to enter the country again.

Okay so lets just talk about the song a little, single boy is a good track. Its not a classic Kiba song as i feel it sounds too much like KAPUKA. If you listen to the beat arrangement and kick and snare – you can hear the bumkapuka! bumkapuka! So to me this is just okay – its a winning formula – play it safe, keep the fans safe and sing about something young ladies want to here.

Watch this interview if you have time, Kiba addresses questions about the music, the lifestyle and his own relationship status…

Kayvo (Kforce) and Bizill – Dying Breed (GetMziki Exclusive ****)

Its obvious we have been busy for a few weeks now with the long holidays shit is bound to get out of hand for a few. But I am glad to be back on the grind and back with a BANGER like this one. KNEL sent me this track originally to watch the video and witness the quickness of these brothers. But Kforce whom I have been following for a while, tears up the Mic on this track.

This new Kenya I am loving, coz the new Kenya makes no normal lines between American hiphop, Kenyan hiphop or anything hiphop. Its such a blend of qualities and languages that honestly the average American would have a hard time trying to figure out if the artist is from here or from there. The sheng is legit, the English is legit – to top it off you give a guy a sick beat and what you have is just CLASSIC material. I love this track by all means. The video is hot, the gear and the attitude on the video is hot. The fact that they shot it in downtown Nairobi is also tight (I am tired of boody shaking videos with young 16yr olds hanging out in the background – that’s not hot). But this here… this here my friends is KENYAN hiphop and a good indication of where hiphop in East Africa is headed.

NOT KAPUKA, NOT GENGE – BUT K-HIPHOP! or what I will call K-POP

listen..

Jeraw – Live it up

I’m not one to make predictions about music, but if i can be allowed i would predict jeraw is going to be the biggest music phenomenons in Kenya 2012. reason for this is because this guy is the true triple threat writer, producer and rapper. He’s flow is sick moving between english and swahili seamlessly and subject matter is tight, im not saying this guys sings some serious(boring) topics, more like he talks about daily life in a n interesting way.

I posted Jeraws first song Tujinice, here which didn’t get much comments but from the logs i can see it was heavily downloaded and just recently started getting some airplay. Live it up actually has been n radio.

Cassim Mganga Feat. Mr Blue – Ndoa Ndoana

Got some hot new bongo flava from Tanzania (Alvin you killing em playa you killing em)… this is a cross between taraab and some Bongo flava shit. I am unable to classify this new sound because its got that new age sound and a mix of that old classic taarab music that Tanzanian old school women love.

For what its worth I enjoy all these singing artists. And is that Bobby Junior I see making a Cameo on this video? he he he that cat makes me smile, he is too metro sexual. I see the rings, the hair, the dressing ha ha ha I love this new age music and the artists that are coming out. These are all bold statements for a market that pretty much didnt know what to do with metrosexual men. Big ups – lets change the world.

Marlaw – Mbayuwayu Ngo Ngo Ngo (GetMziki Exclusive ***)

I could have sworn I posted this song a few weeks back but looking at my getmziki feeds I cant see it anywhere. Whats more shocking is the track has already been played almost 300 times on our soundcloud account so I am confused. Either way this is a big SONG. Its not the first time we are posting a track from Marlaw and it definitely wont be the last time. So I will make this short and let y’all here this banger.

Bob Junior feat Lady Jay Dee – Ng’ombe (GetMziki Exclusive ***)

If anyone here knew what a BIRINGANYA is I would give you TEN POINTS. Songs like these make me miss Tanzania soo much. The lyrical delivery is on another level. Essentially the dude says if he was a herds man he would have bought his shorty a cow, but he is a poor guy so he is growing Cilantro (YES YES Dania is is Cilantro lol). Maze I never thought I would one day be happy that I can actually translate all fruits in swahili.

And did this dude just say “ningekuwa na uwezo wa Rupia” ha ha ha ha if I heard him right it means he is saying if he had money like one of the wealthy families in Tanzania he would be straight. Anyway this track is classic…

“Ningekuwa Mfugaji wa wanyama, Ngombe ningewapatia ila mimi mkulima wa nyanya na bamia” Again 10 points for anyone who can tell me what BAMIA or BIRINGANYA is.. ha ha ha.. Please no calling your Tanzanian friends.

Habida feat Cannibal – My Reason (Remix Waithaka Ent Version)

I am loving the relationship we have inked with Waithaka Ent and Festus. I think the future of our work is going to overwhelm the world and preferably not underwhelm. Ideally we have selected a few artists in our bucket of talent and decided to make these crazy remixes that will be available for your guys real soon.

This particular track is not part of that compilation album but I am so tempted to plug it into that album coz I am overwhelmed. I mean if you compare this with the Original track which we posted here: You will realize that Waithaka has not underwhelmed by any means.

So instead of trying to big up your work as I already know how good you can be. Let me just share this with the music enthusiasts and the DJs to go hard on it.

Stan – Kenyan Debut

Stan

This is a selfish post – obviously I listen to a lot of African/Kenyan Soul music. I think I can actually say I pioneered the word AFROSOUL LOL… am just kidding but truthfully I have supported a lot of young singing artists who wanted to cross over to R&B with an African twist. So its not unusual that I listen to Stan or Didge over and over again.

Today I woke up listening to Stans Debut album – it dropped a while back, Wawesh was behind the entire project and shit was real good back then. I dont know where STAN is today or if he has any new music. But for today, and just for today lets appreciate this cat for what he brought to us back in 2008. Some of these tracks we have posted them here before.

- Rollacoast – Track
- Gachugwa – Track

Otherwise I added a bonus track called She is…

Professor Jay feat Marco Chali – Kamiligado (Getmziki Exclusive ***)

Proff Jay is working on some new material and so far I can tell you the response is phenomenal. When you get producers and DJs making mad remixes to your track then you know you have a hit on your hands. But for this particular track i don’t think the fact that I have my hands on the original and one phenomenal remix are what excite me the most. I think its the fact that Prof and Marco Chali have built an entire website to push this single.

When was the last time you saw an East African artist go to this great lenght to push his single? Check out the website and the free download (something I encourage all artists to do before they drop their albums).

http://www.kamiligado.com/

I have to say I am totally impressed. Now back to the music, Kamili gado which is sort of a slang word in Tanzania (Kamili means complete) so I figure folks in the streets use it a lot to refer to how settled a dude might be. I could be wrong with my out dated swahili but ideally thats what I hear it means. The original track recorded at MJ records and produced by Marco Chali is official – but Alvin dropped this wicked Dance/Pop/Trance mix that for me completes my weekend.

P-Unit Feat Sauti Sol – Gentleman

In the current music industry, collabos are key to penetrating some markets and different fan bases. However some collabos seemed forced and it’s not too many collabos that breathe freshness. One of the collabos that I’ve been riding to that breathe’s freshness is “Gentleman” by P-unit Feat Sauti Sol. I can honestly say the pairing on this track works perfectly. P-Unit exhibits an impressively smooth and lyrical flow and delivery, which perfectly merges with the beat. Production on the track was done by producer extradionare Robert Kimanzi aka R Kay who has produced tons of hits for East African Artists.

The first time I heard the track, I knew that “Nipate baby kwenye bar, uliza shorty what u drinking” will be a common line that most guys will soon be using. With this track, P-Unit proves that they can shift gears from working solo to collabos but still maintain a feeling of ownership throughout any project.

Enjoy!!!

Prezzo Feat Ulopa – 4Sho, 4Shizzy

We’ve had this track for a while, but now just getting to post it. I got an email from a Dj asking for the track and realised we hadn’t really posted “4Sho, 4Shizzy”.

I really do not have a personal opinion of the track. I’ve listened to it and I don’t really love or hate it. If you’re looking for Prezoo to hit you up with some crazy punchlines, then you’ll still be waiting. However if you wanna bump to some music while heading to the clubs, then “4Sho, 4Shizzy” can easily find itself on your play list.

All said and done, Prezzo is an entertainer that has the strength to take a break from the music industry, come back and still make people intrested in his music. You have to respect that!!!
