Kenya’s celebrated Gengetone trio Boondocks Gang has reunited to release a fresh track titled Kafyat, signaling a strong return to the genre that put them on the map. Made up of Exray, Odi wa Murang’a, and Maddox, the group is tapping back into the gritty energy and street flavor that once dominated the Kenyan music scene.
After a season of successful solo ventures, the group’s reunion comes as a pleasant surprise to fans. Exray has been riding high with three standout singles Come featuring Ugandan star Martha Mukisa, Sipangwingwi ft Trio mio and Body featuring rapper Boutross. Both tracks are enjoying impressive streaming numbers and positive reception across East Africa. On the other hand, Odi wa Murang’a has been making waves with Kwa Ndae featuring Joefes, a track that continues to climb steadily and maintain a firm grip in the Gengetone space.
With Maddox rejoining the duo, the release of Kafyat is a nostalgic nod to their earlier days while showcasing their growth as individual artists. The audio is already out and fans are praising the track for maintaining the raw lyrical energy and catchy hooks that first defined Boondocks Gang’s sound. Kafyat is more than just a song. It is a reminder of the group’s chemistry and a signal that Gengetone is far from dead.
The return of Boondocks Gang comes at a time when Gengetone is evolving, and Kafyat might just be the ignition needed to spark a new wave. With their signature flair and undeniable synergy, the group is positioning themselves once again at the center of Kenya’s urban music culture.
