Madtraxx reveals why Kansoul broke up

Madtraxx, one of the founders of the legendary Kenyan trio group Kansoul, has opened up about the reasons behind the group’s breakup.

In an interview on the Iko Nini Podcast, Madtraxx said that the group was originally meant to be much larger, with up to 12 members. However, as they came together, it eventually became just the three of them: Madtraxx, Mejja, and Kidum.

One of the biggest challenges the group faced was getting their music played in clubs and on the airwaves. This was due to the language used in their music, which was often considered to be too explicit for the time.

Madtraxx also said that he started making beats in his car, and that he would often tweak his beats to sound the same. This was because he wanted to create a unique sound for the group.

Despite the challenges they faced, Kansoul went on to become one of the most successful groups in Kenya. They released several hit songs, including “Niko Sawa,” “Mbele,” and “Ngori.”

However, the group eventually disbanded in 2017. Madtraxx said that the breakup was amicable, and that there is no bad blood between the members. He said that the group’s priorities simply shifted as they became fathers.

“Our priorities started shifting at some point when now we most became fathers and priorities kind of shifted,” Madtraxx said. “Mejja was more focused on making hit after hit and making money, but to me, I was just doing it because I can experiment.”

Madtraxx said that he is still in touch with Mejja and Kidum, and that they are all supportive of each other’s careers. He said that he is open to the possibility of Kansoul reuniting in the future, but that it is not something that is being discussed at the moment.

“We are still friends, we still talk, and we are still supportive of each other,” Madtraxx said. “So, never say never.”
