Industry ya muziki wa Hiphop Kenya inazidi fanya vizuri na kila kukicha vipaji vipya vinaibuka. Leo nimewaletea list ya wasanii watano wa hiphop/rap wanaofanya vizuri kwa sasa Kenya, kama ifuatavyo;
#5.Kristoff
This was a tricky one. Kristoff took Jay A's place. Why? Because of the
"Dumbala Remix". Grand Pa records aren't a hiphop outfit. Kristoff
however makes the list after holding his own -albeit barely when he
featured Khaligraph Jones. Kristoff has also been bringing the heat of
late and I hope he can keep it up or forever be relegated to the "never
mind" category.
#4. Octopizzo
The lad has mad talent and no one is begrudging him that. He is literally a head and shoulders above the competition when it comes to rapping but off late, he has mellowed down and decided to do more adlibs than punchlines. He needs to get back to the era of "Make that mulla, buy that ndula!", hapana "I got 8 balls o-o!"
#3. Kaka Sungura a.k.a Rabbit
His brand of hiphop is laid back but no one will contest the fact that
he is an ill MC who spits that serious fire! He has punchlines for days
and this is one of the only rappers in Kenya who remains lyrical but
somehow manages to appeal to fans -i have been at his concerts and
Kenyans actually sing along with him.
#2. Khaligraph Jones
Khaligraph Jones is hungry. He wants the crown and by jove he will get
there. He isn't playing games when he declares himself as the head
honcho of Kenyan rap! And no one has the stones to challenge his claim! I
doubt anyone will; save for Octo who has considerable pressure on his
shoulders to respond with some hot reply of his own.
#1. Juliani
This was very contentious. The team doesn't feel he should be here. They
think he transcends rap. I feel differently. Kenya doesn't have a
gospel rapper worthy of this list but they save face for #TeamJesus with
Juliani carrying the flag up high.
