For the Queens! “For The Culture“!From the Intro all the way down, this 5 tracked debut EP is Too much! Kenyan musician Mumbi takes on a genre fluid journey with some reggae to start it off, sliding into some classic afrobeats, the peculiar sounds of East Africa not left out and beautifully the crafted delivery of soulful rhythm and blues.

The production on the EP will be the first thing that pulls you in, or perhaps it will be her softly crystal voice. Whichever comes first, you will be listening to this more than once.


 

Nyov, Nyover, Nyovest!Man, Cassper Nyovest took this back to the gusheshe days with homage, yet again to kwaito legend, Doc Shebeleza!

Astryd Brown – “Lately” FT. Nadia Nakai

Music is a weapon for peace.In the midst of all the beauty that is Kenya & her people, the last couple of months have seen political unrests and while it might seem easier to keep making the party jams, one cannot live fully if any part of the society suffers.

Sauti Sol and Nyashinski understand this and the single Tujiangalie speaks to all these struggles, but most importantly to the role each and everyone plays in fixing whatever society we are a part of, the immediate and the global.

 


 
If it is nice, do it twice!That’s Mx Blouse‘s theme phrase for the day a double release Siyajola/Gcwala Ngami.

On the kwaito-infused Siyajola, they speak need their lover to draw pick a lane in the relationship. To decide where they stand. This song is calling out those lovers who play with their partner’s time.

The second single Gcwala Ngami is a foreplay trap-influence track.
