Here's the Review I did for Nairobi's Top Cultural Magazine Nairobi Up
Camp
Mulla could well be the group that single handedly lifts the face of
urban Kenyan music. Made up of versatile rappers Taio Tripper and
Shappaman, the amazing songstress Karungari “Miss Karun”, and the multi-
talented producer, Marcus “K’Cous” Kibukosya, Camp Mulla is one to
watch.
“Funky Town” is a highly anticipated piece of art with a clear
objective—to make you dance and have a great time. The title track,
“Funky Town”, is a preparation for celebration. Camp Mulla doesn’t
deviate from the carnival mood, even when giving a positive message on
their rendition of Kenyan 90s group, Zanaziki’s “Papeyo”. A gem, it
encourages peers to work hard in life, not to expect handouts, and never
to abandon their dreams.
The laid back jam “Feel No Pain” will put you in the mood for a great
house party. And you have to bring lots of swagger if you want to keep
it “Fresh All Day”, as Miss Karun croons. She solidifies the track
iwith “all I know is swagger, put your hands up if you’ve have some.”
Camp Mullah’s smash hit, “Party Don’t Stop” (featuring Collo), earned
them lots of accolades, including becoming the first East-African
artists nominated for the prestigious 2012 American BET.
“Sunday Swagg” is the type of song to play on the drive home after a
long day at work. You won’t believe how fast the traffic moves. They
team up with Just A Band on the grown-up and jazzy “Where Do You Come
From?” Watch out now, you will get addicted to jams such as “End of the
Night”, “Addicted” and “Take It to the Floor”. This is followed by the
smooth J. Smiles, who teams up with the group for some deep R&B on
“Low” and “We Can Go”. And for the big finale, Camp Mullah ends the
album with the insightful “Move On”, featuring Bamboo. After listening
to this album, I sincerely recommend a trip down to “Funky Town”.
“Funky Town” is available at all Nakumatt and Uchumi stores.
