There are not many songs out there that talks about the real life that goes on in Nairobi and AmStarDaph has finally come in to help out with that with his latest record dubbed ‘This Is Nairobi’ that talks about the day-to-day life that goes in Nairobi.

AmStarDaph breaks it down what to expect in Nairobi and how to survive in Kenya’s capital city. As much as it talks about how much the strongest survive in the capital city, he delivers it in a catchy way in the trap beat as produced by VTR which makes it a record that you can go hard in a club.

AmStarDaph talks about almost everything that can resonates with Nairobians and most of the stuff he talks about is true and that’s why it hits home in a way like no other record can because it tells it all the way it is, no sugarcoating or anything, he even says that Pastors charge people for them to rebuke demons.

It’s safe to say that everything AmStarDaph said on the ‘This Is Nairobi’ record is totally true and it will make most resonate easily and him doing the record in Sheng(which is the popular predominant slang in Nairobi) is a plus for him and his career by trying to touch base with everybody -youth especially- and who speaks the language.

Quotable lyrics by AmStarDaph

Ulipata mroro, (Ro, Ro)
Ukamkula raw, (Raw, Raw)
Ukampea doh, (Doh, Doh)
But you don’t know (you don’t know, you don’t know )
Alibuy pizza badala ya P2 (Yeah)
9 months later anataka kakitu
IPhone ndani bundles mwitu
Fake it, watu watasee through (Through)
Kwani hujui, hizi vitu si designer (Fake)
Ni za inda ata si za china (Fake)
Its your money you can spend it how you like
Buy followers tuchoche na malike (Like)
Tupa takataka kwa mtaro, mtaro zikiblock then you blame it on Sonko (Mike)
Twitter unazua, “PLAY 254” , kwa club mnaitisha bongo (Bongo)
Noma ni, No money (No, No)
Karao wamezeesha machwani (Chwani)
Pedi alisema ni shash (Chocha), ukapata nyasi ndani
Haki ya nani, (ayy)
Somebody call Matiang’i (Matiang’i)
Pasi anataka kakitu ndio afukuze saitani ghai

I love everybody who loves everybody, somebody got to love somebody at some point.
Music is something that comes natural to everybody and it's a language that everybody can understand, I understand it and that's why I speak it
fluently, do you.
