Josephyl: The Gengetone Artist Giving Back Through Music Gengetone Radio recently had
By Isaac Tugume
Kenyan Gengetone group Boondocks Gang is back in the mix with a fresh banger dubbed ‘Maisha Yako’, which debuted on YouTube and digital platforms over the weekend.
‘Maisha Yako’, which officially thrusts Boondocks Gang back into the limelight, is a song that delves into the complexities of life, highlighting the hustles people go through to earn a living and why we should all thank God for the life He has given us.
Focusing on the day-to-day lifestyle of the common man, ‘Maisha Yako’, which loosely translates from Swahili into English to mean ‘Your Life’, is not only a massive comeback for Boondocks Gang but also a song that easily resonates with their audience.
Although Boondocks Gang had been off the Kenyan music radar for quite long, their return to the Gengetone arena comes at a time when rumours about their purported ‘split’ had started circulating online and, with ‘Maisha Yako’, they now completely dispel those rumours!
The group, which is already back in studio working on new music projects to be released later this year, consists of three talented artists who include; Odi wa Murang’a, Exray Taniua and Maddox.
