Mbogi Genje is a raw and audacious musical group hailing from the heartbeat of Nairobi’s urban sprawl, Umoja. They burst onto the Kenyan music scene with a distinctive style known as Gengetone, which has rapidly evolved and gained popularity among the Kenyan youth. The group consists of three primary members known by their stage names: Smady Tings, Militan, and Guzman Teddy, each bringing their unique flair and linguistic prowess to the table. They are renowned for their street-wise lyricism, delivered in ‘Sheng’ – a local Kenyan slang that is a melange of Swahili, English, and a splash of various ethnic dialects.
Since coming together, Mbogi Genje has built a reputation for capturing the essence of their urban culture, often touching on themes such as hustle, street life, and the everyday struggles and joys of the youth in Nairobi. Their gritty sound and potent performances are backed by high-energy and attitude, which is evident in hits like "Kimbokita" and "Wamocho". Their song "Giz Giz" especially showcases their ability to spin street tales, which has resonated with fans and helped cement their place in the fast-rising Gengetone genre. With each release, including other notable tracks like "MORIO MBWAKNI" and "Fukuru", Mbogi Genje continues to define and dominate the Kenyan music scene with their groundbreaking beats and urban narratives.
