On stage next was the immaculate Ruff Ryders hip-hop queen Eve who came on the stage rocking a white t-shirt and black tight pants looking sexy as ever. This is a baddazz hip hop chick and a veteran who kept it gangsta giving love to the hustler brothers in the house. Her set was hard very reminiscent of the golden era of hip hop using hard backgrounds such as MOPs ‘Ante UP’ and a lot Ruff Ryder anthems. She kept it real on that stage and was a pleasure to see live.

They slowly trickled in one by one; first it was the Angolan star Cabo Snoop who was so happy to visit Kenya for the first time. Next was Jamaican reggae star Shaggy who has been to Kenya so many times he knows people and the streets by name he is suspected to have a Kenyan cell number.
