Name: #23 The Nairobi Connect - TKR Takeover - 26TH July 2022 by @LASTA
Duration: 2 h

I remember when we made this track with Mura and Ayrosh!!! Maaaad!!

Kenyan hip hop has gone through several phases. This selection here tries as much as possible to identify them through their unifying act of Sheng  poetics. Together with the radical critique of the government, police brutality, corruption, and institutions, other things appear as well: the violence of poverty and gender, mental, and body health, and human relationships, ethics, and radio that won’t play these songs – all weave together to paint a conscious picture of Nairobi.
