FEATURE ARTIST: Dope Era

They say you can be robbed of everything else, but talent is your own possession…to jealously guard and develop. It’s that very same talent that these youngsters are bringing to the now rejuvinated Kenyan hip hop scene. Meet Dope Era…

Originally individual rappers Cannon and Vince, they started out as bitter rivals, always competing who got the better rhymes and punchlines. In Mid December 2011 however, they decided to merge talent and picked the alias ”Dope Era”: ‘dope’ meaning good and ‘era’ meaning a generation.

Their humble beginnings include a single ‘Swag’ as well as freestyles of ‘Racks’, ‘Headlines’ and ‘Make a Toast’.  The group is ‘DOPE’ and they are destined for greatness. Have a listen to their single ‘Swag’ below and tell us what you think…
