DJ Mista Dru – March Maddness Fix (GetMziki Exclusive Mix)
TOM – Uhuru Clothing & DJ Mista Dru – image courtesy of 2Kat Events
Dru (Andrew Siro) is like my brother from another mother – I think I look out for this cat more than many other of my own relatives. Dru was recently in the US to do a tour of shows but we cut his tour short due to many other complications from promoters and unsure investors. I wont get into the gory details here because I don’t wish to disrespect anyone – however I hope in future that all these Kenyan events in the US get streamlined one way or another with some professionalism.
I think the problem we have in the US is eveyrone thinks they can be a promoter, everyone thinks they can put the acronym DJ infront of their names and makes them a DJ… and every DJ or most DJs think they can be promoters – so the market right now has just gotten a little bit clustered with people who know what they are doing and people who dont know what they are doing.
None the less – Dru wanted to share his MARCH MADNESS mix as the few of us root for UCONNNNNNNNNN (Not sure how many of you watch NCAA but there is a RELATIVE OF MINES there called Hasheem Thabeet). Ukimuona mwambie namsaka…
Enjoy the mellow grooves here

Obama – the mixtape challenge!
Few politicians have been able to to inspire artistic creativity as much as Barack Obama – the songs out there are numerous and diverse so i though it would only be right to put out a mixtape challenge in honor but first of all lets look at the tunes out there – I am sure there are many songs we are missing but here is the list we have for now. feel free to add more
Kenya
Extra Golden - Obama (this one came out before he even ran for POTUS)
Tony Nyadundo – Obama!! (Not to be left behind he come out with 30 minutes song )
Africa
Other African countries have not been left behind though .
Blacka Rasta – Barack Obama!! This some crunk stuff from Ghana
Jojeba - Ready To Go – this is an artist from cameroon with a makossa tune.
Based on music alone u you would think Barack is from jamaica. My favorites tune
so far is Movados remix of the rock
Jamaica and Caribbean
-Movado – we need Barack (the rock rmx/mission riddim)
-Damian Marley – also check this out
- Cocoa Tea – Barack Obama (This is a big tune been killing parties here in the US for a minute)
-Might Sparrow – Barack the magnificient This calypso tune is probably the most thoughtful composition (if this guy had linked up with M.O.I he would have been a billionaire)
Then there is the reggaeton tunes.
