If there’s an artist who has played a big role in pushing the new Kenyan sound then it’s Fat Boy Gwaash. No kidding.<\/p>\n

He is the biggest proponent of Gengetone (or whatever you prefer to call it) so much so that he he has taken it upon himself to ensure it’s not just a wave.<\/p>\n

You see, Fat Boy Gwaash has done a collabo with almost all the new-age artists save for Ethic. I’m told that he always seeks the collabos himself.<\/p>\n

This way, he ensures that people keep listening to their songs. As a result, they will never fade from the music scene.<\/p>\n

He has also previously stated that he will not do a song with an established musician until there comes a time when they will be at par.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, he is the future of Kenyan music and we need more people like him if all we ever want to phase out foreign (read as Tanzanian) music completely.<\/p>\n

The country is in a good place at the moment – musically speaking and I would love to see the day when our artists will have fans not only in Kenya but also outside.<\/p>\n

Listen to his collabo with Munju Reh dubbed Hama Mtaa<\/em> below.<\/p>\n
