Kagwe opens the song, another self-produced single, with his signature name-chanting intro and the perfect blend of musical elements that lead us straight to the hook on the beat drop. Mbogi Ya Madenge infuses sonic elements from multiple genres reinforcing Kagwe’s status as the king of blurred genres, as he continues the quest to traverse and dominate new sounds.“With every project that I release, I package it to remind my listeners what good music is supposed to feel and sound like. We are in a time and space where the success of a project is defined by how viral it gets, thus ignoring intricate elements that quantify quality and great content- which have had to take a step back. I always want to stand out, to push the boundaries and create something authentic that people actually enjoy consuming.” Says Kagwe MungaiThe visuals captured by the talented cinematographer KG Brian showcase Kagwe and Benzema vibing with their squad of babes aka ‘ Mbogi Ya Madenge.’ The club-ready anthem captures the commercial appeal of the Gengetone sound while maintaining authenticity through various pop culture references.The cast strategically features some popular content creators that have been thriving and trendsetting on multiple social media platforms. Under OBY Afrika, Kagwe has created a platform where content creators from different spaces can collaborate and do what they do best; create.
