For a debut studio album, Buruklyn Boyz is making quite a buzz for themselves having been in the music scene for not longer than 5 years.
The duo comprising of Mr Right and AJay have literally owned the Kenyan drill music sound which is a force to reckon with since it subtly displaced the Kenyan original genre of music, Gengetone which nobody believed to be possible.
Despite being in the music industry for a few years, Buruklyn Boyz has made a name for themselves so much so that they get to be compared to Wakadinali, a trio hip hop, and drill music group that has been in the music industry for quite some time.
Wakadinali might be synonymous with the Kenyan drill music today thanks to the numerous records that they’ve released thus far but that doesn’t dim the light of Buruklyn Boyz because the genre is so broad and big that the two music groups can parallel exist with one another and still make good music together in an effort of taking the genre to greater heights, probably to international level.
With their latest offering dubbed ‘East Mpaka London’, the duo has proved without reasonable doubt that they’re here to stay, and not only that but there are also here to dominate and be considered one of the best rap acts to ever picked up the mic and rapped.
Their debut studio album ‘East Mpaka London’ which loosely translates to “East until London” is not your typical hip hop studio album, it’s somewhat different from the rest projects that you’ve listened to thus far, it’s something new, something fresh, something that we didn’t know that we needed but now that we do know, we don’t want to let go of it.
The ‘East Mpaka London’ studio album is the mainstream door that Buruklyn Boyz should capitalize on.
Prior to dropping ‘East Mpaka London’, Buruklyn Boyz among many other rap groups and rap acts was considered to be an underground music group with a different flavor to the ear.
Once you listen to any song by the duo, you’ll be hooked by their sounds, their lyrics, their witty subliminal metaphors, rhythms, and more importantly, the message they tend to pass across through their uncensored records.
Buruklyn Boyz didn’t feature a lot of artistes in their coming-out studio project, they only worked with a selected few artistes in the industry with some of them being newcomers in the industry just like them.
Big Yasa and Silverstone Barz got featured in one song dubbed ‘Last Air Bender’ that is a must-listen, the duo borrowed Maya Amolo’s vocals on the ‘Niskize’ track while featuring Younglouie58 on two tracks namely ‘Nothing but Love’ and ‘Cellie’ respectively.
Buruklyn Boyz has by far earned their stripes through the ‘East Mpaka London’ studio project that has told the world that they are way bigger than the neighborhood of Buruburu 5-8 which they proudly represent.
After this project, it’s safe to confidently say that Buruklyn Boyz comprising of Mr Right and AJay has ARRIVED.
