The self-proclaimed Godfather of Genge, JuaCali found himself on the receiving end of some flack this week over his recent collabos with Gengetone artistes, but as Pulse notes, though conspicuous his is just part of an ongoing trend.

Since Ethic’s Lamba Lolo hit the airwaves and the Gengetone wave took the Kenyan scene by storm, the fortunes have looked up for new acts in the sheng-intensive genre. There have been many other hits since, easily attributed to Gengetone’s easy appeal and attractive, if rebellious, streak.
