In case you did not know, gengetone and reggaetone is taking over the airwaves. Now that you do know, here are the top three releases from Kenya’s new urban sound.
Koroga Festival Gwaash is back with another track, and this time he is working with Boondocks Gang. The track dubbed ‘Kalongo’ brings new meaning to the childhood game that was a favorite for every Kenyan kid in the estate. The beat by Mashakurah is a simple headbopper, and is easily etched in one’s memory with the addition of some sexy adlibs. Peppered with sexual innuendo, Boondocks and Gwaash make for a good collaboration and give their fans just what their want. The track which sees Gwaash thrive with his classic laid back style is a contrast to Boondocks’ upbeat feel, making for an interesting collab that has been trending since its release on June 12th 2019.
Ethic Entertainment have delivered another banger. The foursome which has maintained their popularity despite having little to no financial talent have proven that talent and determination goes a long way. Their newest release ‘Fyeka’ was released earlier this month on June 7th 2019. The track has only garnered 5K views but is set to pick traction soon. The group is yet to diversify their subject matter, as this new track still focused on sex, with the video featuring scantily clad women and dark clubs as are all their other tracks. But it seems that despite their simplicity, the track is still going to be a hit. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

KRG The Don and Magix Enga are a match made in heaven. Magix genius and KRG’s bravado makes for the perfect collaboration in their latest drop ‘We Run This’. Incase haujashika randa, this collabo just elevated the music scene with this reggaetone release. Of course Magix Enga produced the beat, and the visuals by Desca Torres are just spectacular. The cityscapes and concept would have anyone thinking this track was shot anywhere else but Nairobi. Kudos to this duo for a job well done.
