The Woman who beat burna boy to the African Grammy wins again

Angélique Kidjo has made history as the first African musician to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. ⭐

The five-time Grammy Award winner was joined at the ceremony by Benin-born actor Djimon Hounsou and Nigerian musician Adekunle Gold, alongside her friends and family.

For more than four decades, the Beninese music icon has taken African sounds to global audiences, blending influences from her native Benin with funk, jazz and pop.

What’s your favourite Angélique Kidjo song?

The worst song Khaligraph has ever made

These are the type of songs we used to make when learning Fruity loops having no idea what we were doing.

The hook one of the worst ever.

Spotify Family Plan

Yo guys 😂 Spotify Premium solo is getting kinda mad expensive, so I’m looking to put together a legit Family plan and split the cost among a few of us. Way cheaper for everyone, same Premium perks — no ads, unlimited skips, offline downloads, the whole vibe. If you’re down, hmu and we sort it out. Actually it's 120/= per month compared to the 409/= for individual plan. WhatsApp group will be created just for the plan. Hakuna pressure, just trying to save some coin bana 😂🎧

Kenyan Veteran Artists Still Doing Their Thing

The Kenyan music industry is one that is very infamous especially when its comes longevity.

However some acts have not only beaten the odds by being relevant in the games for a couple of years but decades Nameless is one classic example of an artist that has braved the Kenyan music storm to last an amazing 25+years.

Another classic example is Nyashinski who remains to be the only Kenyan artist to go for a break and return to reign the airwaves with classics , We cannot forget Mejja who has a had a hit nonstop for 18 years.

Nonini is another example of consistency as the Genge godfather has been active since the turn of the millenia and is still dropping music with his recent one being Reset ft Kitu Sewer.

Swali inabaki ni , who do you think is the veteran who has stood out the most ?

Kenyan Gospel Artists Who Won't Be Going To Heaven

There was a time when Kenyan Gospel was more mainstream than secular music . Yes, you heard me. Right ✅️ Gospel had Megastars, while secular music had superstars.

There was a time when Daddy Owen with his Kapungala style was more popular than JuaKali with Genge Wave 🌊🌊

There was a time when Groove Awards carried much weight than the Chaguo La Teeniz awards.

But at one time during the 2010s, the Kenyan Gospel industry became oversaturated, especially with Nigerian influences that the secular industry started taking over.

This meant that gospel artists were getting fewer gigs, less publicity, and less everything in general, and so in 2017, Willy Paul became the first Gospel artist to do a secular song dubbed. I Do featuring Alaine .

I Do became such a popular song that it remains one of Kenyas' most watched songs on YouTube. And his Arch Rival Bahati was watching 👀 .

So in 2020, Bahati became the second Gospel act to transition to Secular with the hit Wanani that, for the first time, featured gengetone artists , as we speak Wanani is Bahati's most watched song .

Fast forward to the mid-2020s' another Gospel artist by the name of Masterpiece Ke has joined the list going from High Bila Ndom to song such as Jug on Jug, Guza Mbwa 😂 among others .

But the biggest question this Sunday ni who among them do you think Hataona mbinguni ?

How Arbantone Gave Us Finale

It may come as a surprise to many, but did you know that Finale by Bien & Alikiba is an Arbantone tone ?

People who are keen listeners can tell that without a doubt, Finale samples the 4 Kampe song with a few alterations added to it .

Right from the intro , down to the layering of the beat, all the way to the breaks and the outro , you can definitely play the same songs on the same beat and they would sound as one song.

People bashed Arbantone artists for sampling but forgot Bien one time praised Arbantone for waking up the music industry, which was dead after Covid.

Acts like Iyaani , Dufla , and Virusi Mbaya are actively sampling and adding something fresh to the sample, which is basically what Arbantone does.

Many people will refute it, but go listen to 4Kampè and tell me if it's not where Finale as a project came about , as a sample !!
