“Kazi Kwa Vijana” is the labour of love presented as the debut collaborative album between the genius minds of MR. LU* and King Kerby.
Over the last eleven months, the two artists have pulled on their creativity and collective life experiences to create a sonic journey that with sure footing guides the listener through the world of these young men and their many talented collaborators.
Having released two singles in anticipation of this project, “Nakujali” and “Form Ni Gani”, the world has been briefly introduced to the musical styles of King Kerby and MR. LU*.
Now across a 17 track, 37 minute album, through themes of love, perseverance, celebration and self-care King Kerby and MR. LU* showcase the story of Nairobi’s youth with the depth of creativity we’ve come to expect from the duo.
From smooth transitions and smart production and mixing choices on the part of MR. LU*, a feeling of calm assurance is embodied throughout the album despite the varying sonic landscapes we are transported to. These young men understand their message and are ready for the world to hear it.
KKV, is a project that does more than just share a musical journey. It is an amalgamation of love, hard work and the desire to share a timely story.
It describes the state of affairs amongst Nairobi’s youth and documents the journey in a way that can be referenced in the years to come.
