This Might Just Be the Next Big Thing in Kenyan Ragga

I was drawn to click on this video because it was done by Enos Olik, who has done some brilliant videos over the past year.

From Abbas and Chiwawa’s Abbachiwa Show, Plan B’s Playground and Grace Muna’s Omba, he is definitely one of the best new talents around. And that explains why he is the official music video director for Pro’voke’s 3-D Music.

One thing that caught me off-guard is how good the song also was, especially considering that I don’t listen to ragga (I’ve never understood why a musical genre requires you to change your accent) or gospel.

I have listened to Kevoh Yout, who I actually really like. Just like Samukat, he also happens to be a gospel artiste. I have always found ragga in gospel a weird fusion, thanks to the b**t-clap videos I’ve seen from Jamaica.

The song here is called Hold On Tight. Performed by Samukat, produced by Riz-I and Afro Mwa and Arkangel Records and the video by CJP Films’ Enos Olik. Check it out below.
