Team Veterans and Cjay have just unleashed a no-holds-barred Gengetone anthem titled “Hizo Bum,”, and it’s already causing tremors in Nairobi’s streets. True to the genre’s gritty roots, this track is soaked in unfiltered street slang, cheeky lines, and the bold energy that makes Gengetone what it is; raw, real, and unapologetically street.
“Hizo Bum” doesn’t hold back. The lyrics are peppered with the kind of phrases that feel like everyday conversations in Nairobi’s estates, from Eastlands to the inner alleys of Kayole, Githurai, and beyond. It’s the language of the matatu, the kiosk corner, and the 4 AM kibanda sessions. Every bar is soaked in authenticity, bringing the heat of the hood straight into your ears.
This jam isn’t trying to impress the prim and proper crowd. It’s a full-throttle celebration of ghetto love, flirtation, and vibes. The beat is heavy, the flow aggressive, and the chemistry between Team Veterans and Cjay is undeniable. They rap like they’ve lived every line, channeling the playful yet intense nature of street romance and youthful rebellion.
With “Hizo Bum,” Team Veterans and Cjay remind us that Gengetone isn’t just music. It’s a movement, a lifestyle, and a mirror to Nairobi’s vibrant urban culture. Whether you love it or clutch your pearls, one thing’s for sure: the streets are listening, and this track is their current soundtrack.
