Renowned Kenyan rap acts: Calvo Mistari and Naiboi are back in top form with their latest banger “Rudisha” – a collaboration featuring Bobby Mapesa and Zzero Sufuri.
“Rudisha” is a perfect meetup of hip hop and Kenyan pop, produced by renowned Kenyan music producer Dillie. It’s a perfect party starter embodying the unmatched spirit of Kenya’s 254 party scene.
Speaking about the collaboration, Calvo Mistari expressed his admiration for his counterparts.
“I have worked with my Bobby for a pretty long time and our projects are always a breeze because we have developed a genuine brotherly relationship since we connected. With Zzero it was a new experience as I bumped into him in the studio. Dillie played him the song which he vibed to and dropped a verse. Bobby heard of it too and jumped on it without hesitation.”
While the new track has reconnected Calvo Mistari and Naiobi with their loyal fanbase, Naiboi feels like it’s their way of paving way and paying tribute to Nairobi's young artists and rising stars.
He says, “I always wanted to connect with younger artists at home and merge my sound with theirs and this is a perfect start.”
