According to Get Mziki, the lyrics here are about being a lesbian (not that I can understand them, apart from nina bra na ma nipples) which is pretty unusual subject matter for both a dancehall style song and for an urban African song... but aside from any sociological discussions that might raise, this tune is pure fyah, this girl's flow is spot on... like one comment on Get Mziki says, the way she pronounces the 'T' in Tokelezea is amazing, which is a weird thing to be amazing?

Been getting a whole bunch of hits from Kenya today since my post on Muthoni The Drummer Queen (still my hero) yesterday so I thought I'd return the favour and check out some more Kenyan stuff... here's a little selection of links to what I've come across (all with downloads!):

Two tunes via Ghetto Bassquake, both called Hey Baby:

Chiwawa - Hey Baby - raw Swahili hip hop..

Marya feat. Colonel Mustapha-Hey Baby - Cheery afro-pop..

I've got a new hero: Muthoni The Drummer Queen! How totally awesome is this tune???

Don't know why I'm asking you cos the answer is plainly 'totally freakin awesome'. The relentless vocal hooks! That beat! Those clipped trumpet stabs at the end! Man this is one of the most exciting hip hop based things I've heard in ages. I'm loving her vocal style, beat perfect machine gunning the chorus hook, slipping between singing and straight rhyming perfectly in the verses.
