“I had a very rosy image of the green city in the sun, an image created to the people who haven’t been to the city by the media.
When I reached Nairobi, I was struck by the reality that it is a tough place to live in especially if you do not know anyone and you have to start life from scratch” he adds.
In this song, Smart Djaba doesn’t only give praise to one of the beautiful cities in the African continent, he also showcases his talent on the record ‘Jiji’ which is Swahili that translates to City.
Just for the record, him working with two of the best sought-after record producers Africa has to offer proves that he was born to be here and dominate the music scene with unprecedented finesse.
You’ll be right to say that it’s Smart Djaba taking over season.
