Kenyan Musicians who are going blow up in 2016
Kenyan music industry is growing fast and last year was a great year for artists. New creative talents produced dope music, from Frasha to Mercy Masika, we saw acts like Sauti sol being nominated to various international awards. This list is not a rank. From my sources considering lyrical skills, creativity, branding and street credibility the following artists are going to take Kenya to another level
1. king kaka
2015 was a great year for king kaka, He made only hits collaborating with other artists like rich mavoko, amos and josh. Apart from music kaka also own a clothing line and a record label.
2. Octopizzo This guy, being considered among Africa’s top, deserves to top the list., he
has been able to brand himself as the ultimate hustler. He has
positioned himself for international attention through his partnership
with UN-related organizations. He is signed to Germany-based Out Here
Records and lately left for a Europe tour. Octo has been doing big things and he is destined for the best internationally.
3. Khaligraph He started practicing rapping in the house while at the
same time working as a club bouncer. Khaligraph is one of the most
versatile rappers in Kenya. He can rap slowly, fast, in ragga, change
the flow all in one verse. Khaligraph did quite well in 2015 and nothing is going to stop him in 2016
4. Stella Mwangi is among the best female artists in kenya. Her latest single chukua hatua was a straight hit. She writes a lot of her music about the situation in her home country
Kenya, also about discrimination both Stella and her family had to go
through after moving to Norway in 1991.She has won several awards including; the Kisima Awards, Clops Awards
and Jeermaan Awards, she is one of the most popular singers in Norway
after winning the Melodi Grand Prix 2011
5. Jay A. Arguably Kenya’s top rapper, he is taking the game to international levels!
6. Wangeci Her debut single was when she was featured in the "Ligi Soo" remix by Rabbit-Kaka Sungura. She had a grisly accident on November 2014 where her friend Fiona passed away. Lately she dropped singles and we know 2016 is going to be a great year for her
7.Femi One is a fast rising female emcee. He has worked with artists like King kaka 
8. Avril is a Kenyan singer-songwriter, actress and entertainer. She was formerly signed to Ogopa Deejays, one of the leading music production and record labels in Kenya.As a singer, she is popularly known for her singles "Mama", "Kitu Kimoja" and "Hakuna Yule" Her latest singles are Ninaweza featuring King kaka and "No Stress" featuring AY
