It&#8217;s so catchy. I just kept singing along to it. His pidgin also spiced up this jam. Although it was my first time listening to him, I was not disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>Gengetone is such a big deal in Kenya at the moment and that is where Arrif steps in. He totally aced it. If you didn&#8217;t see the video, you would think he&#8217;s from Ethic, Boondocks Gang or Rico Gang.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Sudi Boy also came through on this jam. He brought the Coastal vibe and delivered it so perfectly with his melodic voice.<\/p>\n<p>The beat is also on point. It&#8217;s the main reason I kept hitting the replay button. It blends really well with the lyrics and flow of the artists.
