Three days ago, netizens on twitter started a discussion on how Gengetone music is getting old.

Amid those discussions, a bunch of renown artists released a gengetone track dubbed ‘Nyoka Ya Shaba’. The song produced by Magix Enga is now trending at number 1 on YouTube.

So really, is gengetone dying? I think not…or at least not any time soon. Here’s the song Nyoka Ya Shaba that Kenyans are all talking about right now.

According to Magix Enga, the now trending song was conceived by Kiss 100 presenters Kamene Goro and Andrew Kibe. The two even feature in the music video.

As for the artists in the song, Magix Enga sings together with Exray, Timmy Tdat, Jua Kali, Kristoff and Harry Craze. Kiss 100 Producer Xtian Dela is also part of this new release.

The video actually debuted on Xtian Dela’s popular YouTube Channel. It so far has over 200K views, a number that is rapidly growing.

In the video’s description box, Xtian wrote “In a bid to keep the gengetone fire burning, Kamene Goro, Andrew Kibe and I sat down together.

We came up with the idea of bringing together the hottest Kenyan artists on one banging Kenyan jam that will further promote Kenyan music.”

The three radio personalities then approached producer Magic Enga aka Beat King to help them work on the beats.

They then drafted a list of the hottest Kenyan artists both old and new to feature in the song and voila! Nyoka Ya Shaba was born.

Despite the song trending, there are still those who think that gengetone is a waste of time.

A recent tweet on the issue of gengetone read ‘We can’t listen to the same topic daily, after one week we will get bored.

These music videos you can’t even watch in public, they are very disgusting and will drag our youth to mediocrity.

Let’s think of long term things that will be appreciated globally. There are many topics besides sex and drugs.”

That is just one opinion. To defend gengetone music however, an Arthur Gichuhi wrote “Kenyans are a funny lot.

You don’t want to promote the ghetto music from Kenya co it promotes drug use but when Chris Brown sings about p***sy or Migos about drugs ya’ll don’t complain…or is it coz its in English?”

What do you think. Is gengetone a wave that will go away soon or is it here to stay?

Popular musician and producer Magix Enga found himself on the wrong side of of the law on Sunday night. He was arrested alongside his friend, music promoter Maurice.

Reactions from fans show that many actually take the arrest as a joke. One of the users who commented on his arrest wrote “Looks staged but okay. Get arrested in peace Beat King.”

According to the producer, he was detained over copyright claims. This arrest feels like karma seeing that just a few days ago, Magix took down Uno video from YouTube by artist Harmonize after claiming the song violated copyright claims.

Tanzanian artist Harmonize released a new single a couple of weeks dubbed Uno. In only five days, the track had garnered over 1 million views on YouTube and trended at number 1.

The one person who wasn’t blown away by Uno was Kenyan singer and producer Magix Enga. In fact, when the song was released, he took to Instagram to compare the song with his own hit Dundaing; the two indeed do have similar beats.

Award winning artist Harmonize recently released a new song dubbed Uno. The audio track debuted a week ago however the video was posted on YouTube yesterday.

The popular song ‘Uno’ which already has over a million views is now facing accusations of lacking originality. In an Instagram post, Kenyan singer and producer Magix Enga has accused Harmonize of stealing beats from his hit song Dundaing.

Dundaing which is still a club banger in Kenya actually does have similar beats with Uno if you listen keenly. The beats are similar especially at the start of the song.

Harmonize is yet to put the matter to rest. So far, he seems unbothered with the accusation and is instead enjoying the reactions of fans to Uno. Stolen beats or not, the song is quite a vibe.

Popular Kenyan artist and producer Magix Enga hinted at a possible collaboration with International producer DJ Khalid. The mastermind behind the hit dundaing shared this news with the world by dropping bread crumbs on his Instagram about it for a number of days.

At first, the artist posted edited pictures of DJ Khalid and himself and this was followed by a series of screenshots showing snippets of a conversation between DJ Khalid and himself on Direct Message. In the screenshot, DJ Khalid shares his interest in supporting the artist among other international acts and even shares contact information on how they can keep in touch.

A collaboration with a brand as big as DJ Khalid can do a lot of good for the music industry in Kenya and in Africa generally. Magix Enga who is the creative mind behind other big hits such as Bami and Some Love has also produced for big names in the industry such as Otile Brown and Khaligraph Jones. We can only expect something phenomenal from him and DJ Khalid when the time comes.

As for other artists wondering when they will get their big break, my advice to you is to not wait for it. Go take it yourself. In this digital era, communication is so simple. Literally, talking to anyone in the world is an email, text or direct message away. Learn a lesson from Magix Enga and reach out for those collaborations.
