Elani, Jaguar, Nameless Among Some of the Industry’s Heavy Weights who Are Being Outshined by an Unknown Underground Musician
There is a new kid in town who is giving music industry’s heavy weights a run for their money; only Sauti Sol seems to be immune for now.
A look at last week’s Mdundo top 25 hottest songs in the country will leave you asking yourself who the artiste called Jux is; He (Jux) is at position number two on the secular category with only Sauti Sol beating him to the top spot. Jux’s song dubbed Sisikii has been ranked second despite the song only having an audio version (the video is not out there yet). The song has a Bongo tune and it is perfectly done no wonder it has a high rating with the Kenyan audience.
Here is the full list of how the country’s songs faired on Mdundo ratings:
