Jaguar – Kigegeu (***GetMziki Exclusive)
We have featured Jaguar On GetMziki before with Nikuskize and Tayari and his camp just sent us this new single “Kigeugeu” off his upcoming album.
One thing I admire about Jaguar is his humble persona and also the fact that he’s so heavy on the streets and really building his musical catalog by staying relevant in the Kenyan music scene. It’s so funny that just the other day we were having this discussion among the GetMziki team about how artists mature and become megastars after being consistently on the grind with the average consumer not really knowing that they have paid their dues. A good example is everybody now is bumping to Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow” crossover hit and thinking he’s a “new artist” while in fact Wiz has been grinding for the last ten years with his music catalog spanning hundreds of songs. Jaguar is one of those artists who’s really maturing positively and expanding his fan base.
I can definitely see this track being a dance floor packer in the next coming months. It’s one of those songs that just wanna make you start nodding your head to the beat. I’m sure most dj’s will be adding this track on their crates and playlists. On the flip side, I’d really like to hear Jaguar on a Musyoka 2010 beat, since although record companies especially In Africa like keeping everything in-house in terms of beat selection, producers, mixing and mastering, it somewhat limits them on experimenting with different sounds and song BPM ranges.
Listen to the lyrics too, since I’m sure everybody here will relate to the things Jaguar is talking about.
Enjoy!!!

Brand New: Jaguar – Nikusikize
Its unlike us to post two songs from the same artists back to back – but I have been underground for a few weeks so I am playing catch up. Strangely enough I have been looking at the Ogopa Youtube Channel lately and I am so impressed with the quality of music, the quality of the videos and the general direction the production house has taken. I particularly like the fact that Ogopa doesn’t try to do many things, they stick to what they are good at and do it well. If Ogopa was run by other people, they’d have a radio station, TV station, events company, beer company, and Biro pens and anything that could build the brand further and diversify their products – but NOOO Francis and Lucas Bikedo have managed to steer their company into Namibia building Ogopa Butterfly and churning out more hits than we can ever imagine.
Personally I respect that…
So a few weeks back when I got the Nikusikize track from Jaguar I knew it was an instant hit and definitely an Ogopa beat. There was no questions asked, I find this track more promising than the previous one I posted (Tayari). Maybe its the catchy hook or the repetitive hook style…

Brand New: Jaguar – Tayari (GetMziki Exclusive *)
Damn! I have been AWOL for a while – its been weeks since I’ve posted any song, I had some personal family business to attend to – but now that I am back I need to process this back log. I am glad the rest of the GM team managed to update the site and make sure stuff stays fresh. However not to brag – but I always got the fresh shit from Kenya & Naija:-) (ps. I am feeling that Zimboo stuff).
That said I have been sitting on this Jaguar song for a while now, the track is called kama uko tayari featuring some chile I am not sure who she is. Jaguar has been touring the US over the last few months, although I personally haven’t had the chance to sit and talk to him. I am not such a fan of this song but there has been some underground movement claiming that this song is the shit. The track sounds coast-ish… but I could be wrong. I listened to it a few times but am not really feeling it – I think Jaguar needs to switch his style up – its 2009. You need to come out with BANGERS…
Either way enjoy tayari here.

Brand New: Jaguar – Nikusikize (GetMziki Exclusive **)
Ogopa DJs is at it again, I’ve had this track for a few weeks now – I am not sure why i didnt share it but I was letting it sip into my blood streams more and more. If you spend your afternoons on this track you will slowly start liking it. But off the top if entered a car that was playing it, its not what you would call a instant hit.
That said – it’s a classic Ogopa beat and what we have now settled as the classic style called KAPUKA. That said Jaguar who was in the US a few years ago seems to be a very humble well composed artist. I am not sure how his career is doing right now but if the new material sounds like this then his sophomore album could be an interesting pick off the shelves.
