Finally a savior! Willis Raburu offers to support Kartelo and the all other Gengetone artists

Willis Raburu is not just a presenter but an artist. About a year ago we saw the Citizen TV host drop a banger ‘wabebe’ featuring Rekless and other gengetone artists; and truth is – we loved it.

For the first time Kenyan artists were finally finding a genre they can identify themselves with. With Tz being known for Bongo music, Kenya was now all about Gengetone. At first it all good and apart from the nudity, vulgar lyrics and drugs that kept turning many off; at least Kenyan music was finally getting some recognition.

However after Corana pandemic happened, the Gengetone music industry started to slowly fade away; and before we could notice this – most artists i.e Ethic, sailorz and even Kartelo himself stopped making headlines like before.

Kartelo speaks

Speaking about his experience as an artist from the Ghetto; Kartelo this past weekend opened up about some of the struggles boys his age have been going through since they became famous.

According to the guy, there are people who had been working overtime to kill the Gengetone industry; forgetting that this is the same industry that has helped reduced crime in the society.

He went on to give examples of how Ethic’s Swat inspired ‘youngins’ to invest in their talents whether music or dancing; and just when things were looking up – some powerful cartels decided to wipe them off meaning most would resume to the life of crime.

Willis Raburu offers to help

Well, it’s not clear as to how Kartelo’s down fall came so fast especially with friends like Chipukeezy around; but all I know is that there is something the young artist is not telling his fans.

Probably this is because he cannot snitch on his former friend; but with time – fans are pretty sure Kartelo will open up about his downfall.

Anyway seeing how Kartelo and others have hit rock bottom after their short lived fame; Willis Raburu has promised to step in to ensure these boys don’t go back to their old habits of theft and dealing drugs. Through his gram the Citizen TV host said;

Honestly felt so passionate about this story that @kartelo_official has shared about the struggles that artists face. It really hurts and I’m going to do all I can to do something about it. BAZU

Well – this is just a promise, but let’s see what BAZU has in store for the youngins.
