10 Octopizzo verses that proves he’s way ahead of his time musically

/
28 mins read

Octopizzo has come from far, he has an interesting story that can make an interesting biopic or even a great movie.

The gifted rapper has seen it all.

To make it where he is today in the music industry and in life isn’t something to take lightly.

Not so many people who come from almost the same background or the same neighborhood as Octopizzo’s have managed to get out of the neighborhood.

Octopizzo knowing that, decided to help where he can through his foundation: Octopizzo Foundation, he didn’t start a foundation for some clout or to look cool, he started one from the ground up to help the people he left in Kibera, which is the largest slums in Africa.

If it were not for Octopizzo putting his neighborhood, Kibera in records, there’s a 98% chance that all mainstream, underground and upcoming artistes wouldn’t be representing their neighborhoods.

Clearly, Octopizzo is a man of many firsts, he’s also the one who took hip hop mainstream.

That being said, the ‘Kanye’ hitmaker who has since changed his style to sound after growth in the music industry has always kept it real, honest, and authentic in his lyrics using metaphors, rhymes, and witty catchy remarks to make sure his message is well received.

Being among the top three mainstream celebrated music acts in Kenya who has five studio albums, others being King Kaka, and Sauti Sol who has held down the music industry over the years as we know it, Octopizzo has released a lot of records that resonate well with a lot of people thanks to the verses.

Right here, we are going to go through 10 of the best verses ever written by Octopizzo in no particular order.

Because he has a lot of well-written verses that are in the tunes of hundreds, we will be forced to have some rejoinders on the same after we’re done with the first ten.

 

On Top

[Verse 1]
Walidhani wakibuy subaru watakuwa wameacha legacy
Octo niko juu ya madawa ni kaa nimekalia pharmacy
Brain iko full ata ujinga hiwezi ulizia vacancy
Unataka kuwa ka mi come YGB then hang na si
Bado unakunywa Cham eh, zangu ni ma Hennessy
Kuja na attitude tukuingize maira, kamasi
Tunawahemesha tunawachochoa wakitokwa na makamasi
Mafuta ikiisha tutapita na makaa basi
Ukikula chungwa na ndizi mi nitakula nanasi
Niko mbele, wako nyuma ka wafuasi
Reason ni daily maze, me huwachoma ka pasi
Wanakam so slow, ju track iko kasi
Sahi namek doh, jo mtu wangu niko kazi
Mtaa naenda na maziwa ju corrupt game mi ni mzazi
Cost ya kila kitu imepanda,
Ebu enda Mombasa mtu wangu uulize bei ya mnazi

[Verse 2]
I spit fire then I let it burn like Usher
Corrupt game nadai cash ka Akasha
First class picnics nipate Naivasha
Kuroll na mamodel wasupa ka kina Natasha
Sitembei na wallet, doh kwa bahasha
Walijiona the storm sai nawamek rasharasha
Who’s smarter now? Si wewe
Niko juu yao nawachungulia ka mwewe
Octo AKA itisha upewe
YGB AKA itisha ulewe
Just a minute wacha nimalize kuchana
Na si nywele, ni vijiti
Ka plantation za Kericho, washatii
Na ka bado itabidi nimewashika mashati
Niwagote ata kuliko wanati
Ju ukikuja na rap game my I own Shit ka mabati
Number nane wapi? Number nane on top
Octopizzo wapi? Octopizzo on top
So get that mulla, buy that ndula, say
Get that mulla, buy that ndula
YGB wapi? YGB on top
Octopizzo wapi? Octopizzo on top
So get that mulla, buy that ndula, say
Get that mulla, buy that ndula
Natoka Kibera lakini ata nikisota sicopy
Hawana style skuizi yangu ndio wanajaribu kucopy coz
Wanaluck originality ka photocopy,
Si sikizani na paparrazi ju mi ni photophobic
Lakini kwa battle nazidi kuwamada na
Logic, am so straight Octo mi ni omophobic
Boy yuko na flow moja kali ka elnino,
Bongo mi ni most wanted jo ka albino
Akili ni nywele,
Linda zako jo ka mokorino, hiphop kwa damu natumia blood ka wino
Daily huaga nazidi kuexcel ka chino,
Daily nawachenga zile za ki Ronaldinho
Ka unaumwa sana mtu wangu pia unaeza kunywa ino
Ukinibo sana mtu wangu pia naweza kutukana *##*
Ni I double, P-I mambo, sahii niko on the spot ka Radio Jambo
Nakunyanyasa ata kuliko madha wako wa kambo
Na ka hujawai jua mtu wangu rap sijaanza kitambo
Nimeanza juzi na tayari niko kwa mitambo,
Niko used to the machines maze ka Rambo
Wananiogopa, siku hizi wakiniona wanaanza kusitasita ka list ya Ocampo

Ivo ivo ivo

Evil ndio mi huspit ka Lucifer na ka unadai we ndio shit
Inafaa ujue loo-si-far
Nitakupeleka nikutupe, nikuwache ukitupa
Kenye mnadaigi daily kwa hii industry ndio mi huwapa
Career zao fupi kuliko Benjamin Mukapa
Nilisha apa, tangu enzi za BC kua nitazidi kua upper
Wamesota hawawezi afford cost ya anything maze kutoka Mtwapa
So back to back, ka wafungwa na ma-chain na
Head to head ka Obama na Mcain
Face to face kama Abel na Cain
Ama one on one kama undertaker na Cain
Yani back to back mtu wangu kama ping pong
Hii ni short sana mtu wangu huwezi sing along
Namba nane baby, leta ujinga tukufanye maiti kama kingkonger

[Verse 2]
Ma-rapper wanajidai ka jeans zime-fade
Wana-hate ju sikuizi Octo ana-get paid
Wana-hate ju siku hizi waresh wao wana-get laid
Kila mresh anataka kua na mi kwenye bed like (aaaah)
Take over men, cross over men
Mresh wako akiniona anadai kunifanya ma bend over men
Niko all over men ni P.I double Z.O O O ati yo yo
Wajinga wako in full swing (fool swing)
Wanadhani swag ni kudunga bling blinger
Uliza mresh wako nigga! Nani hupush it in
Design ya doctor ringding
Ni P.I double Z aka the next big thing
So daily kwa rap game maze na-get bigger
Nikishika mic na-rock mafella kama jigga
No smoking but mtaani nime-chill na ki-cigar

[Verse 3]
Ati tangu nitoke Berlin
Siku hizi mifuko zimejaa money (Germany)
Ka player wa Bundesliga
Nawaacha na ma S-Pain maze ka La Liga
Niki-grab the mic mi hu-flipmode ka Rahdigga
A true player aka lyrical Mariga
Jay Z akikuja Kibera ni obvious atashikwa na jiggers
Kila msee ananiambia ni-buy ndai
Siezi buy gari na mtaani bado Raila anani-owe dinga
Kila wikendi utapata nikispendi
Mi na baby kendi, ku-hang na mafala maze mi sipendi
Ka nikarata mi hucheza spedi
Ka wee ni headboy nakupiga hedi
Uniripoti kwa heady
Na-regret later ka mse anadedi ukedi
Ju ya kupenda ma lady
But sinaga time ya kubeba gym
Ju sihitaji 6 packs, mtaani tayari niko na 2 pacs mtu wangu ka Makaveli
Keavy weight nina nguvu za kung’oa reli
Na ka si hip hop utanipata inda niki-hustle daily
Young gifted and black zangu ni blackmailing
But you can’t blackmail me coz I’m the Big G
Hao wengine ni wa Mr. Berry
Na hio ndio reason nikienda church siku hizi mi huenda hapo kwa pulpit
Then mi whu mag da line ka Mary
P.I double Z baiby

Noma Ni

Pizzo the king and you know it (you know it)
Pizzo the king and you know it (you know it)
Everything I rap about better believe I own it (own it)
Kila nguo mi’ hudunga bana better believe I bought it (bought it)
Muziki ni ndondi boxing

I’m a dick come blow it (blow it)
Superstar I’m blowing (get it get it get it)
Neck freeze I’m snowing
Hizo chocha za ku-rap faster buda joh come slowly (slowly)
Niki-spit ebola (ebola)

We shati mi’ collars
Wali-try kuni-call lakini sipatikani truecaller
A A A A A A kila subject ni A
E E E E E E kila ndai ni E-class
Mwaga tei kwa hii glass
Funga bao na hii pass

I am a Pan-Afrikanist to the core and love to let the world know what they are missing in Africa. I might do that through music and some interesting posts from time to time so please bare with me.

I will always be real though, that's a guarantee.
