Kenya Mko Wapi: Part two

This Is Africa

Available for 112 days

Njerae is one of Kenya's most promising female artists. Three of her songs have been streamed more than a million times each on Spotify, and she has recently been signed by a major label, Universal. In the previous episode of TIA, Kenya's biggest star, Bien, claimed that his fellow Kenyan artists are not hungry enough for global stardom. But Njerae says she definitely is hungry for success. She also reveals that she has chosen to stick with her R&B sound, which some have described as "white girl music", and is determined to get more Kenyans and other Africans to vibe to it. Also in this episode, DJ Edu shares his mix of ten of the hottest Kenyan tracks of the moment. Image: Njerae (Credit: Universal)
