Mejja is back to doing his creative style of Genge. He and DJ Nephas have teamed up to give us a track called Ulimi Yangu<\/em> which is a breath of fresh air. Why? Because our music scene has been inundated with\u00a0Gengetone<\/em> and most of the songs of the genre are party anthems.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis part should be deleted!\u201d Shakilla trolls Mejja for disappointing verse in new \u2018Nairobi\u2019 hit song<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

While there is nothing wrong with the fact, Mejja is giving us something most of us hadn’t even noticed we missed: something different. And he did so in a way only he could deliver on. The jam and it’s music video are actually rather hilarious and great entertainment.<\/p>\n

Granted, the beats are very\u00a0Gengeton-esque<\/em> but he talks about something a lot of people can relate to: your tongue getting you into trouble regardless of the good intentions you have. It is said after all that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy father was a sperm donor\u201d Mejja opens up<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

Anyway, the song starts with Mejja narrating how his day seemed to be going well as his woman was in a romantic mood. While she was in that vibe, she prepared food for him unprompted and poured her love into it. This capped an already dope day as he had just paid all his pressing bills. However, when asked what he thought of the food, he said it could do with more spices. She was not amused. To top off an already bad situation, she asked to go out and he agreed but criticized her sense of fashion and that compounded the already bad situation leading to a tiff.<\/p>\n

Later in the day, he attempts to help a woman who is getting pickpocketed but when he intervenes, he gets beaten up and onlookers laugh at him. He swore off ever getting involved. And in the final verse, he leads his coworkers in staging a protest over pay at the\u00a0mjengo<\/em> they work at. That ended badly when they turned on him and he was kicked off the site while they got to enjoy the benefits he fought for.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy I turned down lucrative offer to work with Wasafi,\u201d Mejja Genge comes clean<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

The song is made really dope by his wordplay and his cadence and flow. That is one area Mejja has never suffered at. He comes through effortlessly with the humour aswell and he is simply telling a story to us as if we are his boys at the “base”.<\/p>\n
