Kenyan Hip Hop Heads
New Lister
Boondocks Gang
Boondocks Gang, a trio Gengetone group, took over the industry vinomaa sana during the Gengetone era. The group comprises of three male artist namely: Exray (Taniua), Odi Wa Murang'a and Maddox. They've been actively dropping new hits for five years. The group ilivunjika and everyone went for solo projects. Exray did very well, ulimcheki na Prezzo Ruto time ya campaign? His hit Sipangwingwi was sang throughout the country hadi President Ruto had to use it. Wipe your phone screens before niwa-plug.
Boondocks Gang wlitupatia hits kama:
- Kidolee
- Mboko Haram
- Rieng
- Naskia Wah
- Hainishtui
- Kalongo
- NyokoNyoko and many more.
The gang gained popularity in Kenya around 2018 na doba ya "Rieng." They were among the pioneers of the Gengetone wave, a modern evolution of Genge music that fused Kenyan street slang (Sheng) with heavy bass beats influenced by dancehall and reggaeton. Walipiata macheda kutoka kwa shows and events na life yao ikachange.
So walikua wakiitwa show wanapewa doh. Wakitoka show warudi mahome, Maddox alikua anaishia sherehe coast or Zanzibar, as explained by Exray. Anapiga sherehe hadi anasahau record sessions ako nazo na pia anamaliza doh zake zote. Hii ndiyo ilikua reason as to why he was absent kwa doba mob za a. Exray aliopen up na kusema, Maddox's fall was orchestrated by not having a girlfriend. Kuharibia zaidi, pesa ziliisha na hapo ndiyo depression ilimpata.
Maddox said otherwise kwa interview. Alisema corona ilichangia pakubwa sana kuwatenganisha. This is because walikua wanadepend sana kwa doh za shows and events na time ya pandemic, hakukua na hizo shows. So they had to survive. He also explained how his fellow members used to skip studio sessions and sometimes mmoja wao anakam mwingine anakosa. Exray and Odi Wa Murang'a were preparing to go solo but as for Maddox, he wasn't prepared. Hii ilichangia sana to their division leaving Maddox unprepared. What do you think about Odi Wa Murang'a and Exray's choices?
As shared by their managing and recording studio, Black Market Africka, Boondocks Gang are not here to joke. They're on a mission to deliver fire and quality that their fans craves. This brings more energy to the game and more artists will be active. They made their come back on 10th February, 2025 with two songs: Milayas and Piga Lap. Do you think Gengetone is back?
