Many good Kenyan songs were released in March 2023. March 2023 was also the month that marked the beginning of the mass protests led by Kenya’s opposition leaders who decried the high cost of living facing Kenyans among other issues.
In the music industry, there was much happening as well. The Rong Rende gang in particular have clearly been in the studio 247365. Rong Rende, which features Wakadinali and other artists released two albums in March. Skillo was first with the album titled ‘The Rong Don’. This album is definitely going to top the charts this year. I say this with confidence even as more Kenyan artists release new music projects. The second Rong Rende album starred Guapanessse. The album, titled ‘Geri Inengi: The Evolution’ while being a solid project, also gave us the third instalment of Rong Cypher, a 6 & a half minutes-long cypher which features Wakadinali, Khaligraph Jones, Aress 66, Skillo and Abas Kubaff.
Check out the first one:
Another Kenyan artist who released a new album in March is Jua Cali. The artist released a 16-track album under the music label Calif Records. The album, which is titled ‘Utu Uzima‘ features several Kenyan artists such as BussaJ, Mbithi, Crystal Asige and others. In Utu Uzima, Jua Cali is a wise man who does not mind sharing the wisdom he has accrued over the years with you.
