Wakali Wao, who in my opinion are the most underrated Gengetone artists in Kenya, have released a new track with Swat Mtoto Wa Eunice and Mtukutu and it’s a big tune.

The song titled Katatamba has been getting a lot of airplay since it came out a few days ago and to be honest, we are also feeling it.

Swat Mtoto Wa Eunice

Katatamba is so infectious. I’ve listened to it a couple of times since it was released and every time I play it, it is like I’m hearing it for the fist time.

If you chose not to concentrate on the dirty things that they are singing about and focus on the wordplay and rhymes, you’ll realize how talented these youngsters are.

Both Iano Ranking and Kim Swat have a unique ability to play around with words and make dope rhymes. To add to that, they also have a natural and impeccable flow that gets you hooked instantly.

Mtukutu

It is so hard to pick who between the two had the dopest verse in Katatamba but if I had to chose then I would say it is Iano Ranking.

As expected, Swat Mtoto Wa Eunice also brought his A-game. His verse is too lit and you just want to keep listening to him over and over.

Mtukutu was not too bad either. He also laid down a dope verse and it makes you wonder why Ethic kicked him out in their early days. Amway, that’s a story for another day. Isn’t it?

The beat was also on point. The producer did not let us down I must say that he did not let us down. I was literally dancing on my seat as I was writing this review.

Listen to Katatamba below and tell us what you think. Big up to Wakali Wao, Swat and Mtukutu.

Wakali Wao come through with smashing track ‘Urao’ (Video)

The song dubbed Urao epitomizes the growth of the group that is made up of Kim Swat and  Iano Ranking since they made their debut on the local entertainment scene with Madam sometime in 2019.

Like I always say, if you chose not to concentrate on the dirty things that they are singing about, you’ll actually realize how talented these youngsters are.

Urao is very infectious. I have listened to it a couple of times since it was released and every time I play it, it’s like I’m hearing it for the fist time.

It is so hard to pick who between the two artists had the dopest verse but if I had to chose then I would say it is Iano Ranking because he also laid a decent hook for this jam.

I am not saying that Kim Swat didn’t come through, far from it. Actually, he is my favourite between the two. I just resonated more with Iano Ranking.

The beat was produced by a chap known as Jamie Rylo and I must say that he did not let us down. The beat is catchy and I know this because I was literally dancing on my seat as I was writing this review. Kudos to him.

About the video, I think it is simple but still dope. The concept is good and I am happy it is not all about some ladies shaking their derrieres.

Watch Urao below and tell us what you think.

Raj has linked up with Wakali Wao and Lofe on ‘Pretty Gal Dem’ and it’s fire (Video)

Talented Kenyan rapper Rajiv Okemwa, popularly known as Raj, has released a new song with Wakali Wao and Lofe and it’s a big tune.

The song dubbed Pretty Gal Dem is the sixteenth record off his Raj’s Bae Tuesday 2.0 weekly series where he drops a new jam every Tuesday from August until December in anticipation for his BAE2 (Beautiful And Exquisite2) album.

This jam is really dope. I have been listening to it on repeat since it was released a few days ago and I am not about to stop.

Apart from the arrangement, I really loved the flow by the artists, especially the two chaps who make up Wakali Wao and that is Iano Ranking and Kim Swat. They are really dope ladies and gentlemen.

Notably, Raj also did a good job. The hook for this jam is very catchy and chances are you will master it the first time you listen to it or maybe the second time.

To be honest I’m also starting to like Lofe’s musical approach. This is the fourth song by him that I have heard and he is slowly winning me over with his impeccable punchlines.

While the beat on this song is really on point, one thing that will definitely catch your eye is the video. There is a lass who is shaking it like she means business. It’s just so good!

This time around, the fast-rising artists have teamed up with a chap known as Lofe whom you might remember from his collabo with The Kansoul and Raj dubbed Inama.

Wakali Wao’s new jam with Lofe is titled Ringa and it basically talks about how the girl that a guy is chasing is never ready to give in to his advances. (At least that’s how I understood it.)

Both Iano Ranking and Kim Swat had some tight verses in this jam. However, as you would expect, I was impressed by the latter. He totally nailed it in my opinion.

To be fair, Iano also did a great job on the hook. It goes like, “Dem anatingisha akizungusha marinda rinda alafu ana dondosa akirombosa anaringa ringa, ebu cheza we ringa*3”

Lofe also aced it. There is just something about his voice that makes him stand out from other artists. You will listen to his part a couple of times and not get bored.

Other than the dope beat on this jam, I also loved the vixens who were featured in the video. They were twerking like they really mean business, don’t they though?

The song dubbed Waiter will give you the feeling of hitting the club from the moment you hit the play button. No lie.

Basically, it’s about the things that happen when you are out partying. From the time you order your drink to the time you hit the dance floor to how you lose your phone.

I don’t how they know this but this is literally the story of my life. Okay, I’m kidding.

Both Iano Ranking and Kim Swat had some dope verses on this jam. I was, however, most impressed by the latter.

As you would expect, some of the words that were used in the song are a bit vulgar but like I always say, you should just focus on the wordplay. It’s totally dope.

The video for Waiter is really outstanding. It’s really of good quality, what even more is that the twerking lasses will keep you glued to your screen.

The beat was also impressive but this does not really come as a surprise since the song was produced by the one and only Magix Enga.

Dubbed My Miss, the new jam by Iano Ranking and Kim Swat, is all about a certain lady that they can not get enough of.

From the way she looks, to the way she walks to how she talks, she is definitely the kind of lady that most men dream of having.

Unlike many new-age songs, this song has more Swahili words than Sheng’ and maybe that’s not a bad thing after all.

Both Iano Ranking and Kim Swat came through with dope lyrics on this jam. If you are keen enough, you’ll notice that their style is not the same with most new-age artists. Maybe that’s just me.

The video concept is simple but I still loved it. They must have shot it in their hood.

The vixens gave the video a lot of life or else it would just be another video that was shot in the slums.

The song was produced by Folklore Limited and directed by Tony De Gigz. In my opinion, they both did a commendable job.
