INTRODUCING… WEUSI FAMILIA

Weusi Familia is a Hip hop/Electronic Super group from Nairobi. They are undeniably one of the fastest rising and much talented music group in Kenya. If you have heard their single ‘Vibrate'(see video below), you probably know what I’m talking about. Here is their biography:

ORIGINS:
“Weusi” is an acronym for: WE. US. I.
The group was founded by Don Blaze (A. Bowy) & Gaza (M.Gathu) in the mid 2000s.
The group officially came to be in 2008, with additional members coming in through the year 2009 and 2010.
The 5 member group is made up of: Don Blaze (Rapper), Gaza(Singer), Bilari (Rapper) Yung Dane (Rapper/Singer) & Mikk(Singer).

Back in 2008, the two co founders so happened to be working in the studio with Kenyan Producer DTS when the idea of forming a multi genre super-group came up. In early 2009, Don’s younger brother Yung Dane was an immediate addition to the family immediately the team heard what he was bringing to the table. He was barely 15 at that time.

Fast forward to late 2009, when as fate would have it one DTS was working with Don Blaze in the studio on his debut mix tape(CEOClearly Extra Ordinary). Around this same time DTS got introduced to Bilari (L.Lukoye) then of K Force and DTS & Bilari got down to cut a “Bounce” track. Don heard his track and immediately wanted Bilari on his debut single “Yello Yello” ft Gaza. The rest as they say, is history.
The next and final addition to the crew was Mikka, brother to one of the founders of the R&B group (Jipya). The group prides itself in being more of a band than a group due to their versatility as concerns the type of music they record.

CURRENTLY:
The group is currently under the HR/DMG labels working on individual and group projects.
