Written by Edwin Agesa on Sunday, 7 September 2025. Kenyan hip hop just got another dose of drama this week after Octopizzo went live on Homeboyz Radio, and let's just say – he did not come to play nice. The Namba Nane rapper took direct shots at none other than Khaligraph Jones, mocking his fashion sense and calling him out for wearing "sweatpants all year long." According to Octo, the self-proclaimed […]

KAMP’s Historic Milestone: A Win for Kenya’s Creative Industry

On a cold August morning in Nairobi, a room full of musicians, producers, and industry players broke into applause. For the first time in Kenya’s history, a Collective Management Organization (CMO) had achieved something many thought impossible: distributing royalties with an efficiency ratio of 70:30 — meaning 70% of revenue went directly to right holders, and only 30% covered operational costs. That CMO was the Kamp Copyright and Related Rights […]

We Must Do More to Protect Our Children: Why Kenya Needs a National Safeguarding Framework

Written by Ezekiel Olande on Tuesday, 19 May 2025. Like many Kenyans, I was shaken after reading The Teacher and the System, the recent exposé by Africa Uncensored. It was a harrowing account of repeated abuse, institutional silence, and systemic failure at one of Kenya’s most well-known schools. But that story is not an isolated case. It reflects a larger systemic problem: the lack of a safeguarding culture in our schools. […]

These East African musical forms, though culturally distinct, share a powerful trait: they are communal mirrors, often telling long, winding stories that reflect real-life social dynamics, beefs, praises, and gossip.

Kenyan RnB: The Fastest Rising Genre Since Genge’s Golden Era

  Kenyan RnB is experiencing a powerful resurgence, fast becoming the country’s most promising genre with a dedicated, niche audience driving its momentum. While other genres like Gengetone and Kapuka have made noise, few have matched the structured growth and consistency seen in the RnB movement today.
