Make way for the top ten hit makers

They are at the top of all our play lists. Topping all charts and hyping all clubs. They rap/sing about something and it immediately trends. You just can’t afford not to love their songs, and even if you do, they will still make it to the top of the charts. Here they are.

10. Avril. From her first song, ‘mama’ we all fell in love with her cute voice. Apart from being sexy and controversial, Avril knows her way through hit making. She did it in her collaboration with Marya on ‘chokoza’ and she did it again on ‘kitu kimoja‘.

9. Camp Mulla. The new kids on the block are not so new right now. They have delivered hard hitting tracks, one by one, and have got everyone talking positive about them. They’ve even made it international and they are just getting started (literally). One more year and they will be untouchable. Some of their hits are ‘addicted’, ‘party don’t stop’, ‘take it to the floor’ and ‘fresh all day‘.

8. Nonini. The Godfather knows his stuff well. Always attempting to introduce a new talent to the scene, usually ending up to be awesome artistes just like P Unit. He has given us hits like we kamu, kadhaa, keroro, nani mwenza, heshma and my personal favorite ‘mtoto mzuri‘.

7. P Unit. They were introduced to the music industry by the Godfather, Nonini and they immediately took over the scene. Giving us hits like kare, si lazima, kushota kulia, hapa kule and going further to collaborate with other awesome artistes like Sauti Sol to give us the masterpiece of their works… ‘gentleman‘.

6. Sauti Sol. It is automatically so. They are just too original and collected. I don’t think we can ever have enough of their voices. Some of their greatest hits are ‘blue uniform, soma kijana, coming home’ and ‘lazizi‘.

5. Daddy Owen. He doesn’t have a rough tone like his brother but he sure has the ‘hit making’ factor in his blood. His fashion sense and dancing styles contribute to his song’s popularity. He is the guy behind hits like ‘dakika tatu, system ya kapungala, Yesu, saluti’ and ‘tobina‘.

4. Wyre. king of the dancehall, so I call him. Most of his songs belong to the clubs. He has even collaborated with other international hit makers like Morgan Heritage and Cecile and some of his awesome works are ‘make a choice’, ‘dancehall party’ and ‘she say dat‘.

3. Juliani. All the way from Ukoo Flani, he is the man with the lyrics that get you thinking twice about whatever you are about to do (if bad). Conscious but yet entertaining. Not alcohol related but yet top charting songs. This guy is just awesome. Some of his hits are ‘hela, biceps, bahasha ya ocampo, mtaa mentality’ and ‘exponential potential‘.

2. Stella Mwangi. Since her first official track with Chris Kantai ‘happy’, we knew she was destined for the tops and that’s exactly where she belongs. With hits like ‘hoola hoop, haba haba, happy, taking it back, dreamer’ and the all time favorite ‘lookie lookie‘, she’s gonna be here for a while.

1. Madtraxx on the tracks. There is no debating on this one. He has never released a track that failed to get everyone drunk and dancing their shoes off. His songs have made us do really crazy stuff. Things that we ain’t so proud of. Just thinking about them makes me want to party and do them all over again… #stupidtalk. TGIF. These are some… all, of his hits, ‘ita waiter, boda boda, skamaress, fire fever,big shot, Poa’ and my personal favorite ‘get down‘.
