Having established themselves as a household name in the rap industry, Wakadinali have not yet forgotten their roots or where they come from and they most often than not say on their records how proud they are to be from the eastlands area.
Truth be told whenever you get to listen to Wakadinali’s music, they make you feel afraid of going to Nairobi’s eastlands are because they are keeping it real, telling the truth the way it is without sugarcoating anything or lying to anyone, and you know what they say; not most people can handle the truth. Wakadinali are one if not only the only rap group keeping it real with their lyrics by saying how things really go down in the eastlands areas.
Their recent release dubbed ‘Mangana Manangos’ which is in Sheng that loosely translates to “steal phones” is a record talking about how easily a phone gets snatched in eastlands if you are not keen enough to know your surroundings but most importantly it talks about how people survive in the eastlands areas in general, not just a specific place but the entire eastlands area since the group represents the entire eastlands area in Nairobi.
