Kenyan Versatile Artist King Kerby releases a new single “Bad Bee” featuring “Big Yasa” on Friday, 21st September 2024. The collaboration is off his upcoming studio album “KSHS,” dropping on 27th September 2024. This is barely weeks after Big Yasa and outfit Mad Clan released their own album “MAD CLAN” with Spinx Mafia.
The KSHS album represents growth on both a personal and musical level. After Saba, it entails crossing boundaries with production once more, but this time it connects Kenya, Los Angeles, and Russia. Kerby’s aura, audaciousness, and that of young Kenyan musicians are both demonstrated in KSHS. The innovative rapper, who hails from the artist-ridden hood of South C in Nairobi, continues with his consistent intention of elevating the East African hip-hop scene through an authentic and artistic style of rap.Drawing inspiration from Esir, Krupt, and other South Legends, King Kerby will be an unstoppable star.
Following up his lead single “Athlete,” released on 24th August 2024, King Kerby teamed up with number eight finest Big Yasa for “Bad Bee.”. With Kibera on his back, Big Yasa makes the song a parable of two worlds yet so intertwined to produce a masterpiece.
The theme of “Bad Bee” is honoring the kind of lady who draws attention for her depth and unquestionable presence as well as her appearance.This is a vibrant, emotionally charged audio experience that presents a novel fantasy perspective on attraction, emotions, and love. Alongside Big Yasa, whose contribution gives the song an unstoppable flare. Sharp and captivating, Big Yasa’s flow adds a quick energy boost that perfectly balances with Kerby’s melodic delivery.
In his musical journey that started as early as 2016, King Kerby prides his music authenticity in not following the normal Nairobi artistry of alcohol clubbing and drug indulgence. Veering off popular belief hip-hop themes like materialism, narcissism, and the classic “rags to riches” narrative and self-limiting notions about money that come from the poverty mindset ingrained in common Kenyans. His artistry is centered on health, empowerment, and self-determination.
This is that Phineas and Ferb, Tom and Jerry, Ghost and Tommy Eagan kind of combination, bringing two artists on different levels, backgrounds, and artistic approaches to produce a gem. Keep an eye out for this cassette aside from this one single, “Bad Bee.”
Let’s push Kenyan music globally; the world needs to hear us.
