I finally got my hands on this exclusive new NONINI track called Kumbuka. ITS SICK!!! And am not just saying that because I know Nonini, but for the first time I feel like I can relate to the memories and lyrical content on this track. Nonini takes folks back in time mentioning things that I personally experienced, things I lived through and things I often sit down and reminisce about.
This is one of those joints that we will be listening to for a long time, over and over again. I had forgotten about Music Time, I had forgotten about Club Jungle… (Nonini ulisahau kuweka Brili, Holly Mbao, Visions and most important Club Boom). I don’t want to drain this track by talking it up, so I will let you all enjoy the track first and then get back at me… KAMERO!!!
// on a personal note I want to commend Nonini for embracing the Internet. I recently commented on his attempt to create NONINI MUSIC.COM, and explore online music distribution options. We are currently working on a few things together but all in all it would be nice if most Kenyan artists would travel to the US and leave the US having left something as meaningful as Nonz did. Last time I checked – Nameless left the US and didn’t leave even a single behind… I know Logombaz are working on a new album, but there is no place to get that information from. I know DNA has a new song, P-Unit and all these great artists but there is just no outlet.
I always admire artist who make bold moves… // “Tushauriane tafadhali”

Big up to nonz…this track is dope!!! sijui niseme
huyu jamaa anani jazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
hats off 2 him
manze hii ngoma ni noma sana…..kwanza the memories….waaa
Nonini just like Tupac has a strong thing for “sweet / musical / melodic” tracks right from keroro to ruka shower, si lazima and now this kumbuka. These are tracks that are sweet sing – alongs and easy to sway to the right and to the left and to the right again..yeah, yeah! I give it up for the flashes of God-given creativity Nonini has unleashed. Rhyming all those memories is a straight-up thumbs-up…and he says a lot of things that remind me of how it used to be those days. Mizizi is where Nazizi passed through as well, Wahu also pitied through Warehouse and I ain’t rhyming..its just true coz I watched all those shows. Lady Bee yuko hapo tu…some adlips would reveal her true strength. For Nons, inspite of all the negativity associated with the content of his music, we haven’t seen the best of this MC yet. He’s a slow burner…
[...] to him – he hasn’t really been feeling the last few releases. If you recall we debuted KUMBUKA feat Lady Bee and KADHAA on the site a few months ago. I figure he anticipated that any one of these songs would [...]
