It has been an exciting year for music and we have seen amazing videos and music come out of East Africa. My only problem though is that it is the same old artists we have grown used too and only 3 new artists have managed to capture our imagination so far this year. Just A Band, Zogo and Sauti Sol have made a push into the scene but the only thing is the existence does not go beyond cyberspace. In my opinion they deserve a whole lot of mention and ample airplay. One might ask what is my issue with the old artists and my issue is nothing we need young blood to keep the industry alive. We need new sounds and voices!
Nonetheless, Nameless, Redsan, DNA…… are at it again and we feature their cross over hits from last year in the countdown. There are a couple of Calif records joints we would have loved to feature but they are still stuck in 1980 i mean amazing songs with terrible videos so they did not make the list.We got the best of the best here for you! ……Enjoy!
