Remember Camp Mulla Announcing They Would Be Doing Solo Projects? Here Is One From K’Cous (Kus Ma)

Kenya’s musical equivalent of Kanye is upto his old antics yet again. Same script different cast if you will. The track is titled “How High” and i must say, i rather enjoy it.

The lyrical content is stellar even though the songs plot plays along familiar territory of getting high, girls and the finer things in life. You can’t knock the lyrics in this musical submission. They are if anything, one of the reasons i compare K’Cous to Kanye. The wordplay is mischievous without being irksome, the production is also another highlight of the track. But what would you expect from the lad who was behind most of Camp Mulla’s instrumentals?

The track samples Biggie Smalls track “Big Poppa” for the hook and loops the part where Biggie says, “…Money, *garden implements that rhyme with pores*, and clothes/ all a n*gg* knows…” and “…Living better now/ Gucci sweater now…” which i must say i think was nailed rather well given the songs subject matter.

The track which was produced by Marcus Kibukosya a.k.a K’Cous a.k.a Kus Ma who is one fifth of the Kenyan hiphop group Camp Mulla features Kanja who also goes in hard on his verse. The video was shot by Kevin Bosco Jnr who clearly had good cameras as part of his equipment given the colour clarity and seamless cut scenes even though the video was shot in just one location.

The video itself has Kus Ma, Myke Tuchi and Kanja along with a lass… I found myself wondering why there were no more video vixens to balance out the testosterone… But all in all, this is a good musical offering from K’Cous. I just wonder whether just like this other song about weed, this one will be aired on telly. Check it out below:
