The Needle / Kenya

"The Needle / Kenya" is a vibrant and eclectic musical journey that captures both the pulse of Nairobi nightlife and the introspective vibe of personal reflection. Dive into the soulful collaborations of Kanjii Mbugua with "Kama Si We" and the high-energy rhythms of "Pump Up" by Soun Bwoii. The playlist takes you on an emotional rollercoaster with songs like "silence the noise in my mind lord" by Lepsog and delivers powerful recharged beats in tracks like "We Nuh Fraid (Remix)" featuring heavyweights Bounty Killer and Popcaan.

The mix isn't shy about breaking borders, blending global sounds with local flavors. "Hosanna" by CalledOut Music and "IN MY HEAD" featuring Timaya and Tiwa Savage highlight this beautifully. For those moments of chill and contemplation, "Jesus Paid It All" and "Green to Gold" bring a soulful blend of worship and indie vibes. With an extensive selection that includes everything from hip hop bangers like GloRilla's "Wanna Be" to the infectious dance anthem "Wadibusa uncle waffles" by DJ KERV, this playlist is a testament to Kenya's diverse music scene and beyond.
