Octopizzo can rap about anything and make sense out of it, he can also jump on any beat presented to him.
Octopizzo proved yet again that he’s not only the king of rap flow, king of drip, but also the king of versatility, and diversity in the Kenyan hip hop scene thanks to his latest song dubbed ‘Karata$i’.
Octopizzo rapping about ‘Karata$i’ is basically him rapping about the Benjamins, quala, guap, money, mbesha! otas!
The Kibera-representing rapper is one among the three mainstream musicians to have released their 5th studio album. The other two are Sauti Sol and King Kaka who both have 5th studio projects.
On the 5th studio album ‘Jungle Fever’ by Octopizzo where the ‘Karata$i’ song has been pulled from, the rapper stressed almost in every other track on the album that he is a pan-Africanist putting Africa first above anything else.
