“The genius, as far as the marketability, of Hip Hop is in its competitiveness. Its roots are as much in the dignified aspects of our oral tradition as it is in the tradition of “the dozens” or “signifying”.

In Hip Hop, every emcee is automatically pitted against every other emcee, sort of like characters with super powers in comic books. No one wants to listen to a rapper unless they claim to be the best or the greatest! This sort of braggadocio leads to all sorts of tirades, showdowns, battles, and sometimes even deaths. In all cases, confidence is the ruling card.” SAUL WILLIAMS

1.Khaligraph Jones

“Wananyemelea kivuli design ya Lwanda Magere…eh akina Khaligraph Jones wakijidai venye hao ni wakali kwa flow/Hata ufure vipi, Vigeti hapitakani na blow!”

(Last line double Entendre????)

2.Abbas

“At least Doobiez anaeza bonga, hao wengine tu ni ustupid wanakuanga”

3.Rabbit

“Nimechorwa sura ya Dandora mpaka kwa sura/Janja shinda kina Kaka Sungura,Watoto wadogo juzi ndo vichwa zimeanza kufura/Landlordi nadai kodi, anza kugura!”

4.Smallz Lethal

“Nadhani mliambiwa na kina Smallz Lethal boy/ si tumepinda over mosquito coil”

Earlier this year when a list of best rappers ever in Kenya appeared on Capital FM’s website, and positioned Vigeti as no. 2, his producer/manager/accomplice Ken Ring (who did an incredible job on this instrumental.

I nearly shuttered my spine from the head nodding) took to their fan page on Facebook declaring that they’ll change that perception and reclaim the throne.Thus from the dungeons of rap where chaos was formed “Simba” was spawned.

“Hii si diss track, hii ni mlale chini”

Vigeti has been dropping ethereal verses tangu era ya 3D Crew (Before they became famously known as Kalashaka). With classics like ‘Punchline Kibao’ under his belt he’s one of the few MC’s who has transcended the “just being a rapper” label, realness oozes effortlessly out of his being and that’s what sets him apart from the crowd.
