Daddy V- Dear Daddy
It’s one of those times when we feature a African artist based overseas. Daddy V, is a Kenyan artist based in Dallas and is no stranger to GetMziki. We have featured some of his tracks including Mahooks, Julietta and Nare, since he really sets the bar in terms of good quality music, being relevant in todays music scenes and till today remains one of the few artists consitently getting shows in the US, which speaks volumes on his music and hustle.
One thing we always treasure is showcasing artists that have passion for thier music and going above and beyond to push and market thier music without comprising on quality. His musical growth can also be seen in the various songs we showcase and artists out there should have him as a template on how to promote thier albums. Although “Nare” his debut album was released a few years ago, Daddy V is still releasing singles and videos from the album which is the 2010 way of marketing music.
He slid the team his brand new single “Dear Daddy” and we have been mariniating and bumping to the track. The track is on the Fallen Soldiers Riddim and is a dedication to his dad and to everybody out there who has lost a loved one. It’s one of those tracks that everyone out there can really relate to and also one of those timeless songs. Big shout outs to Kilimanjaro records!!!. Go out and support your artists.

GetMziki Face Off – Kayvo vs Daddy V : Nare
Kevin Ambalwa (a.k.a. Kayvo), is a 22 year old Kibera native who started rapping in high school. In 2005, he formed the group K-Force with Ndochez and Bobby Slick – Other than these three, there are other skilled recruits in the K-Force clique. Kayvo has been on the underground scene for a while, though over the recent past, he has featured on songs by Yunasi, Rabbit, Kama (of Kalamashaka), Judge, Didge, Wyre, Kleptomaniax, L-Ness, some members of Mau Mau and Stranger. As an artist, he has had the opportunity of working with people such as Ambrose Akwabi (Mandugu Digital), Tedd Josiah (formerly of Blu Zebra) and fast rising producers, Cecil Jamwa (BaseTown Productions) & Paul Manyasa (Musiq Plant Productions).
(Evidently above is a press release spill from Kevin and Cecil his production team).
However when Cecil sent me the track it only made sense to put it up against another track that apparently has been making noise in the US-Kenyan club scene. Nare is a slightly older song but Daddy V still loves it so I figured why not. Am not going to comment on any of these two tracks because this is a faceoff so I have to make sure its fare 
So here goes… Two songs with the same title // Am not sure if this is fair judgement but here goes. And I also know that Kayvo’s song is definitely newer so I dont know how fair this faceoff will be but for added advantage I will throw in Daddy V’s video to balance of the oldness of the song.
