Chantelle Explains How Toklezea Was Made

Chantelle was on last month's Salon Magazine where she talked about a range of subjects from her childhood growing as the only girl in the family, losing her mother early, her heritage and how she "accidentally" got into the music industry.

This time I think it's for real. It might be really over. In their previous break-ups, Goldie was usually the one still holding on to their so called relationship, but now, she seems to be comfortable with the drift building between them.

As Tusker Project Fame entered its third week of nominations and evictions, both the judges and the audience expected contestants to up their game and give it their best  at a time when the stakes are higher than ever.

Kidum just joined an exclusive club in the Kenya music circles. His video for Haturudi Nyuma has more than one million views on YouTube. The singer is set to perform in Atlanta this weekend.

Another high performer is Kigeugeu, which has 659,000 views, with about 270,000 more views on UG Pulse and tens of thousands more on other channels. Vernacular music also unsuspectingly get a lot of views. For example, a fairly  unknown song by Christopher Monyoncho, Kwini Na Biyaki, has just short of 565,000 views on the video platform.

Just-A-Band's Ha-He just crossed 470,000. The thing with Ha-He is that a lot of those views came all at once, which would make it one of the few viral videos out of Africa. The video Haturudi Nyuma was uploaded a month after Ha-He and has received consistent views since then, which explains how it--almost sneakily--beat everyone to the top.

Haturudi Nyuma is one of the highest rated songs in the region as it appeals to listeners of all ages, unlike a lot of love songs which can be considered too explicit for the older generation too uncool for the younger ones.

STL is one of the most consistent artistes when it comes to YouTube views. Most of her videos have crossed the 100,000 views mark. Lonely Island's collaboration with Rabbit also has more than 1,000,000 views on YouTube but that is expected considering it was on the Lonely Island channel.

STL's Bad As I Wanna Be Teaser

Stella Mwangi's Bad As I Wanna Be might just be this year's most anticipated tracks. The rapper came back into the country to shoot the video, which immediately raised the hype around it after fans learnt that she would close down a whole street in the CBD for the shoot.

The track and video will be released on the 29th of June and anticipation for the final product builds up with each passing day. Below is a teaser, which gives us a first look into the video. Judging from this, there's going to be some serious bad-assery to be served around.
