Gospel sensation Jimmy Gait has been on the uprise for the last 3 years since he released his hot Gospel single in 2008 titled Wakati which was off his debut album Muhathara. Funny enough I had heard wakati but I didn’t think much of it – thats just my personal take. But apparently Nairobi was crazy up in arms for that track (I’ve thrown it here just for the amusement factor and to compare and contrast wakati with this Huratete track).
I’ve been playing Huratete for a few days now, and while its not a new song I think its one of those tracks that will be around for a while because it has a timeless beat. The lyrical content and deliver is up to par (as much as auto tune is in play, or some sort of voice enhancer). I think Jimmy was in the hit Kenyan/ MTV feature film “SHUGA” partly with that other character called Leo (funny enough all jamas called Leo are handsome jamas ha ha ha ha). That Leo guy on SHUGA really sumbuad some chiles as I understand he was the hottie of the documentary. Either way its just nice to always know your nemesis is representing your name clan in good light. Anyway I digress. Here is Jimmy’s hit track.
ps. Does anyone know what HURATETE means?

i guess mse anajaribu, lakini hiyo autotune yake pia inasound ni ka alijiundia home lol
I actually prefer “wakati” to “huratete”, unfortunately, the lovely Leo has posted a broken track. Leo, kwa kweli hivyo ndivyo track inaisha – kwa ghafula hivyo?
“and while its not a new song I think its one of those tracks that will be around for a while”…Leo, from the quoted statement, you acknowledge that this song has been out for a while and you most-definitely fall under the “late-receivers/posters” category coz either you have been “sleeping on it” as you like to put it (oh wait, our mps call it the more politically correct “resting the eyes”) or you just failed to keep up with events. I always wonder what you mean when you post old songs on this forum and declare in brackets (“GetMziki Exclusive***). So, wewe humaanisha nini? Just curious…
Huratiti means early in the morning. so in the song he is saying that they are going early in the morning.
