Ethic caused some excitement and concerns at the same time as they announced music comeback albeit minus Rekless.
Ethic shot to fame quickly with their ‘Lamba Lolo’ hit song and dominated the airwaves with a handful of other songs before they disappeared from the music scene altogether.
Consisting of four male members – Rekless, Swat, Seska, and Zilla, the Gengetone music group emerged as one of the biggest in Kenya and their disappearance has left many fans asking questions than they can get answers.
Ethic’s former manager Allen Igatanyi recently admitted that the Gengetone group died a sudden death after Rekless decided to pursue a solo career.
“The one who was the most likable person, the one who had the numbers, was Swat. However, when fame got to his head, he started losing track, and someone else took over.
“Then Rekless took over and decided to go solo. Without the group leaders, the rest of the members could not continue.
“Rekless was very mature, to the point that managing him became difficult since he was even older than me,” Igatanyi said.
Following the group’s breakup, Igatanyi made the decision to leave Ethic Entertainment and focus on mentoring other aspiring artists.
However, during a recent interview on Radio Maisha, the three remaining members – Swat, Seska and Zilla – revealed their plans to make a big comeback in August.
When questioned about Rekless’s absence during the interview, the group members didn’t want to comment about their former member.
“We are here to speak about the music industry; about Rekless, that is a story for another day. We are just the three of us,” they said.
