Sugu - Sugu

(Social Misfit Entertaiment/ SME 0055)

Sugu, one of the true pioneers of the bongo flava scene, presents his eighth album, most of which was produced by London-based Kenyan producer Sir Prestige, and it features special guests Dineh (of X-Plastaz), Samia X, and Plan B (of Real Elements). An interlude comes courtesy of Kenyan superstar DJ Pinye, a definite seal of approval.

Lyrically, Sugu tells it like it is and his songs deal with prostitution, street children, emigration and so on. The first single off the album, the catchy 'Moto Chini', is already a hit in Tanzania. Another stand out track is the opener 'Kwenye Mbio' with its jazzy influences.
