Pitah Scarlet comes through with fire banger dubbed ‘Staki Lawama’ (Video)

If you follow local entertainment news, I’m sure you’ve heard of the name Pitah Scarlet. He’s arguably one of the best dancers in the country and if you’ve watched Ex Ray’s jam titled Stingo, he’s the guy who does the intro.

What you may not know, however, is that he is also a musician and a talented one for that matter. This lad dropped a new track, perhaps his first release ever, a few days ago and it is getting a lot of love from his fans.

The song is titled Staki Lawama, which is Swahili for ‘Don’t blame me’ and believe you me, it’s one of the best tracks that I have heard in a long time.

Most people assume that anyone who is getting music right now has to do Gengetone to get attention but the truth is that it’s not necessarily the case.

Staki Lawama has a trap vibe yet you can still feel the influence of the Kenyan sound in the beat. Put simply, it is an awesome blend of both.

To add to that, it slaps so hard, especially if you have a good system or headphones. You will just find yourself hitting the replay button over and over. Big up to Rashy Beats for the amazing instrumental and Symo On The Beat for the excellent mastering. They nailed it.

Notably, Pitah Scarlet’s flow is also on point. The way he makes random words rhyme, you just want to keep listening to him over and over.

I also really love the video which was directed by Tony De Gigz. He did a great job. Although the concept is so simple, it’s well put together. The quality, scene transitioning and styling are also impeccable.

The 21-year-old singer has been into music from the tender age of 10, this makes me think what I was doing with my life at that age. He grew up listening to the likes of P-Square, Redsan, Trey Songz and in a way that has shaped his sound today.

When he joined high school, his love for music grew so much so that he composed his first song dubbed Dunia in Form 2. The song became popular and this gave motivated him to pursue his dream of becoming a musician.

After clearing high school, Keemlyf released his first official song titled Banana. The song did well and earned him recognition as an upcoming Afro pop singer. He made us all realize that he was here to stay.

Artist Spotlight: Dan Q, rising star who has braved all odds

It’s rare to find artists from some parts of the country such as Turkana trying to make headways on the national music scene. Most of them give up along the way never to be heard from again.

It is for this reason that we have to laud one musician who goes by the name Danson Achila Ng’itira, alias Dan Q, for going against the odds. The fact that he’s from Turkana has not stopped him from chasing his dreams of being the next Kenyan superstar.

He developed interest in music when he joined secondary school. Dan Q thrust himself into the limelight when he released his first single dubbed Ananitesa in 2014. The song made him one of the most-sought after artists in Turkana.

In the same year, Dan Q was lucky to be selected by Refigah of GrandPa Records as one of the artists that he wanted to work with during a talent Search that was held in Lodwar. However, this was not to be as the record label soon disintegrated following the exit of the lead producer Visita.

Dan Q decided to keep chasing his dream. He has been doing auditions from 2016 up to date. He won a Tuma Award for Male Artist of the year and this gave him the financial muscle that he needed to record a song.
