Do You Agree With Me That These Are The Top Gengetone Songs Of 2022? What's Your 2022 Anthem?

So who would have thought that a few years down the road, Kenyan presidential candidates would be falling over themselves to include gengetone artists during their campaigns?

Whatever your views on gengetone, you can at least acknowledge that it has helped us appreciate the evolving nature of music. It also evident that the genre is here to stay. That’s why today, nearly five years since Ethic and Sailors turned the airwaves blue with provocative language,here comes the list of gengetone hits that have been overwhelming speakers in 2022.

📀 Kishash - Lil Maina ft. Ndovu Kuu

There is no question ‘Kishash’ has ruled the streaming platforms this year. Despite being lost in the visuals, ‘Kishash’ finds market by itself. No wonder, you'll still hear here and there some spit that this is Lil Maina’s best project.

📀 Usiniharibie Mood – Mejja

Bet me ,no matter how hard and how many times you attempt to bring him down in terms of Gengetone craftsmanship believe me you can't come nearer to this Gengetone pioneer especially in terms of Gengetone wordsmiths and for sure, I don't think if you can stop him, can you? Mejja continues to reign supreme mainly because of his provocative lines. As an old-timer, he has contributed immensely to the rise of many gengetone artists. ‘Usiniharibie Mood’ is a song you can’t, and won’t, hate. It’s Kenyan to the core, and with a touch of Mavo on the beats, nothing could’ve gone wrong.

📀 Gin Ama Whiskey – Breeder LW ft. Mejja.


I don't mean to overpraise him, but Breeder LW deserves to be crowned a beast. The guy’s flow on ‘Gin Ama Whiskey’ is something out of this planet. Need I mention his performance skills? Just imagine In only three months since its release, this dope jam has hit 2.3 million views on YouTube and still counting.

📀 Sipangwingwi – Exray Taniua

With several hit singles under his belt, Exray Taniua is truly one the most influential gengetone artists of this generation. Some even say it’s in his electric aura. Others say that his controversial niche and the ability to network with the pros has kept him at the top. Think about it, the guy featured Kenya’s deputy president William Ruto in the Sipangwingwi (Remix) ft. Hon Dr William Ruto . Despite being released late last year, ‘Sipangwingwi’ is still dope and topping the charts in 2022.

📀 Dweet (Do It) – Trio Mio ft. A Pass and Masauti

As Kenya’s youngest and ‘dopest’ rapper, Trio loves to leave a mark. ‘Dweet’ is his latest single where he enters into an altercation with Masauti over a lover. Despite picking a clichéd topic, his rap skills shine through making you want this tune on repetition.

📀 Kamkora – Cartoon Comedian

‘Kamkora’ has taken many by surprise, as few people expected that the comedian could actually sing. The song shows a unique side to the humorist, and when it comes to her colourful music video, then the visuals will leave you questioning her net worth.

📀 Wanjapi – Unco Jingjong ft. Breeder LW, Maandy and Lil Maina

Since its release, this remix has gained close to a million views in a span of a month, sending Unco Jingjong on his way to gengetone aristocracy. I still wonder what he has in store for us for his next release.

📀 Kichwa Tu – Ssaru ft. Trio Mio and Timmy T Dat

Does Ssaru need an introduction?Of course issa big no since her discography under belt speaks the volume. Ssaru is arguably the best female gengetone artist out there. She is stylish, young and famous. Her addictive and unique flow in ‘Kichwa Tu’ revolves around relationships and dating shenanigans. The song features iconic guests Trio Mio and Timmy T Dat, who brought their A game in it.

📀 Ka Unaweza – Maandy Ft. Mejja
Maandy is one artist who knows how to use unpredictability to her advantage. Being able to blend with anyone in the industry is a blessing. ‘Ka Unaweza’ is, what one could call, ‘evolved gengetone’. Mejja was, of course, the perfect choice for the joint.
