Tomorrow marks a year since Ethic, a group whose members are Rekles, Swat, Zilla and Seska, debuted on the local entertainment scene with Lamba Lolo<\/em>.<\/p>\n

They introduced Kenyans carefree music and we loved them never mind the fact that their song was a bit vulgar. Wasn’t it?<\/p>\n

\"Ethic\"
Ethic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Soon enough, Ethic released other songs; Position<\/em>, Saba<\/em>, Instagram<\/em>, Pandana<\/em> and before we knew it, they were household names. Yup, they became stars in one year!<\/p>\n

Perhaps the icing on the cake for them was participating in Coke Studio 2018. Anyone musician will tell you for free that that’s an opportunity that they are ready to die for.<\/p>\n

Ethic has empowered many young musicians in the last one year. They have shown them that making a hit song does not take much, that you don’t have to splurge.<\/p>\n

They also gave them courage to sing about anything that comes to their minds, which is mostly raunchy stuff, but that’s a story for another day.<\/p>\n

\"Ochunglo
Ochunglo Family<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the last one year we’ve seen the emergence of new age musicians and groups and in my opinion they should all thank Ethic for leading the way for them.<\/p>\n

The like of Ochunglo Family, Boondocks Gang, G-Rock, Gwaash etc. would be nowhere today were it not for Ethic. Deep down you also know that this is true.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, though, I feel that some of the new-age musicians learned the ropes too fast and have since dethroned Ethic as Kenya’s best new-age musicians. What do you think?<\/p>\n

Side note: A little bird told me that Ethic and Ochunglo Family have already done the remix for Pandana<\/em> and it will be released anytime now. Get your eardrums ready!<\/p>\n
