One of the Best Unknown Groups Right Now. Have a Listen

They are an alternative hip hop, pop, alternative music group from Nairobi. The quartet consists of G’Zay (Daryll Mbugua), AtwalMusic (Atwal Adwok), Phaze (Sammy Wamae) and Flaev (Favour Obasi Ike). They call themselves Wryterz Block.

The group was conceived by G’Zay who came up with the name and brought the other members together. The group initially did two singles, I Am and Hands Up. The latter was included on Favours album, Colorful Sounds, which was released in late 2011. The track was, unfortunately, poorly received by critics.

The group later met Atwal who was was initiated as a group member as the working relationship grew. An interview with Homeboyz Radio’s Monique Kabuye on her Afro-Central show helped the group grow their fan-base and achieve a certain level of popularity after two of their singles (Undisputed and So Special) were played on air.

As a result, they got to work with a slew of other upcoming artistes including Khaliba & Shontell. Wryterz Block then started working on their mixtape, for which they released Dance as the first single. This time, the group got some love. Dance was very well received when it debuted on Afro-Central.

Immediately after Dance’s release, one of the group’s members, Njoki, left the crew due to personal issues. They are still going strong, though. Wryterz Block is now poised to release a second single off their yet-to-be-named mixtape on the 3rd of August.
