Boutross Munene, or Bouti if you like, is one of the Kenyan rappers who is redefining local hip hop one record at a time.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0 young rapper, who is one third of the Alliance Domini Family (ADF), is arguably the king of trap music in Kenya.<\/p>\n

However, he refers to his genre as Shrap, which stands for Sh<\/strong>eng’, which is a language mostly used by the urban youth and Rap.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boutross is slowly making a name for himself in the local music industry thanks to his heavy punchlines, witty rhymes and lyricism.<\/p>\n

He was introduced on the mainstream market by rapper Octopizzo who featured him on his jam dubbed Tergat Gang<\/em> alongside Barak Jacuzzi.<\/p>\n

Since then, he has made big strides individually and with his group mates Kay Green and Dope-I-Mean.<\/p>\n

Some of his popular jams and collaborations include; Wasoro<\/em>, Tahtaj<\/em>, Kweli<\/em>, Bonoko<\/em>, Billy Jean<\/em> and Safi<\/em> – which happens to be my favourite.<\/p>\n

Boutross was among the few African artists who were selected to be a part of Mr Eazi\u2019s empowerment platform, emPawa.<\/p>\n

Each artist reportedly received $3000 (approximately Ksh. 300,000) and he used his share to produce and record a jam titled Wrong<\/em> which is a masterpiece if you ask me.<\/p>\n

Listen to Wrong<\/em> below and tell us what you think.<\/p>\n
