Could this be the end of Camp Mulla? The teen band that took over the Kenyan music scene and redefined music as we knew it, is going through a radical shift.
There had been rumors that they had split but the group’s recording label, Sub Sahara Entertainment, issued a press release to set the record straight.
They said that while Karun, is flying off to the US for studies and Thee Mc Africa is going to pursue a solo career, Camp Mulla will still be alive and kicking. It will be kept above the water by Kus Ma and Shappa.
While we are skeptical that we will get the same beats and sounds from the remaining members, we do hope that the unique style that Camp Mulla brought to the Kenyan music industry does not die with their ‘split’.
Here is the official press statement.
“A lot of rumours have been floating around social media about the Kenyan superstar group Camp Mulla. The group’s members have matured since the band’s inception but Camp Mulla is alive and kicking it big.
It is true that Miss Karun is no longer with the group; she has left the group to prepare to join University in the USA in August. She’s also working on solo projects. Another of the group’s former members, Thee Mc Africa (previously known as The Taio Tripper) is also pursuing a solo career. Both Miss Karun and Thee Mc Africa are wished all the best in their pursuits.
Kus Ma and Shappa still carry the Camp Mulla flag and are the new face of the group. They recently gave an excellent performance in Durban, South Africa, gracing the same stage as Snoop Lion at the MTV ALL STARS©, on 18th May. Their performance featured popular Kenyan artist Collo and introduced hot newcomer, Tiri. Camp Mulla gave the crowd an exclusive listen to their new collabo, Chafua. Tiri also launched her first banger Mash Up.
She is a solo artist under the label.
A change is better than a rest and Camp Mulla still stands tall. With the smashing performance at the MTV ALL STARS, Kus Ma and Shappa show no signs of Camp Mulla slowing down.”
