As a platform that showcases, plays, and promotes Kenyan music and content, one of the saddest things is that every day, thousands of people tune in to listen to Kenyan music. Still, most of those listeners are not Kenyan. So, the question that we ask ourselves and others is how we change a culture and get Kenyans to love Kenyan? If you visit Tanzania, you will only hear Tanzanian music […]
Imagine if all the people who have declared interest in running for president in 2027 put their own interests aside and focused on putting the interests of Kenya and Kenyans first? So far, several people have declared interest in running for president, and as 2027 gets closer, more and more people declare interest.

Prior to their beef with Toxic, many people […]
In the words of Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn, also known as Toxic King, “you do what you can when you are popping”. And right now, there is nobody more popping than Toxic Lyrikali in Kenya’s Hip Hop scene. It’s very difficult to create a hit song; for some, it takes years, while others get lucky and have one hit song, only to be unable to replicate it. A hit is a […]
Despite gaining her independence in 1962, Unfortunately Uganda is still not free. Uganda’s current president, Yoweri Museveni, has been in power since 1986, and it is hard to tell when the last free and fair election happened in Uganda.

With only one year left to Kenya’s next general election and no formidable opposition candidate to unseat the incumbent, we believe that Winnie Odinga is the only candidate who would give William Ruto a run for his money. Winnie Odinga is the daughter of former prime minister and opposition leader, Raila Odinga, who passed away in 2025. But Winnie is not just Raila’s daughter. Winnie Odinga is a Political Science […]
