By Dennis Juma After the recent resurfacing of Odi Wa Murang’a and the iconic Boondocks Gang, it’s clear that Odi isn’t just making a cameo, he’s back with purpose. With his trademark energy and lyrical bite, Odi is proving that he had some unfinished business in the music industry. Just weeks after dropping Kwa Ndae, a track that stirred nostalgia among Gengetone fans, he has followed up with another explosive release — Tena na Tena, featuring Iphoolish and Diaso. Tena na Tena feels like a victory lap for Odi Wa Murang’a. A reaffirmation that his name still commands attention in the Gengetone scene. The song is fast-paced, punchy, and delivers the high-tempo flavor fans expect. Teaming up with Iphoolish, a longtime collaborator, and rising star Diaso — whose recent music endeavors are gaining traction. The trio brings undeniable chemistry and streetwise charisma to the track. Odi’s comeback isn’t just nostalgic; it’s strategic. With consistent releases and carefully selected collaborations, he’s positioning himself not just as a Gengetone pioneer, but as a relevant, evolving voice in Kenya’s ever-changing music landscape.

If you partied hard yesterday, do it again today and, don’t apologize for it. It’s a vibe for the bold, for the free-spirited, and for everyone who believes life is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest. The chemistry between Joefes, Exray, and Unspoken Salaton is undeniable.

By Dennis Juma Love. It’s supposed to be beautiful, effortless, and magical. But for many, it’s anything but luck. Sometimes it feels like love is a storm—unpredictable and overwhelming. You give it your all, but you’re still left wondering if relationships are really meant for you. You’ve probably asked yourself at some point: “Why does it work out for others but not for me? Is it luck, a secret strategy, or are some people just brewing love potions in the background?” You’re not alone. In the new single Siri by Heavy Cane ft. Unspoken Salaton, the two artists tap into the raw emotions many of us feel but rarely express. The song doesn’t offer answers wrapped in pretty rhymes. It asks the very questions we’ve buried in silence. “Siri ni nini?” (What’s the secret?) they ask, in a world where love seems more complicated than ever. Their verses echo familiar frustrations: the ghosting, the betrayal, the heartbreaks, the mismatched efforts. But beyond the heartbreak, there’s something universal and deeply human in their reflections—a longing to understand how to make love last. So… is there really a secret? Is it Luck? Some people meet “the one” on a random bus ride. Others swipe right into forever. To them, it may feel like fate stepped in and handled the logistics. But even in lucky stories, love doesn’t thrive on chance. It survives on effort. Is it Strategy? Modern love has been reduced to lists, podcasts, and playbooks. “Don’t double text,” “Mirror their energy,” “Wait three days to call.” While these tips can offer temporary wins, genuine connection goes beyond rules. It’s about communication, vulnerability, and commitment. Are There Love Potions? Well… not the kind you drink. But maybe there is something magical—like shared values, mutual respect, emotional safety, and a pinch of spiritual alignment. Not brewed in cauldrons, but in consistency and real effort. What Siri does so well is hold a mirror to us. It doesn’t pretend love is easy, and it doesn’t shame us for not having it all figured out. Instead, it reminds us that even artists, people we look up to, are still searching, still learning, still wondering what the secret really is. And maybe that is the secret: there’s no one-size-fits-all formula. Love is a journey, and every experience—no matter how painful—is part of a deeper lesson about ourselves and others.

By Dennis Juma In what can only be described as a bold and unexpected move, fast-rising Kenyan singer Teslah has teamed up with none other than the award-winning African songwriter Bensoul for a captivating new track titled Smokie Pasua. The collaboration marks a major milestone in Teslah’s steadily rising career and has left fans thrilled by her versatility and ambition. Known for taking calculated steps in her musical journey, Teslah has been on a steady climb. Her 2024 collaborations have proven her ability to cross genres and blend with various musical styles.

As one of Africa’s most respected songwriters and vocalists, known for his deep lyrical storytelling and soulful sound, Bensoul rarely aligns with upcoming acts.

Smokie Pasua dropped with little warning, catching even Teslah’s most loyal fans off guard. But what was more surprising than the collaboration itself was how well the track works. The song is a blend of soulful melodies and street-inspired storytelling, merging Teslah’s signature rawness with Bensoul’s smooth vocal finesse.
