The Pulse Music Video Awards (PMVA) nominees across ten categories are now out. And yuv got the number ‘22845’ to text, complit with yur ‘PMVA’ code for yur fave folks across the diffski cats. Just to start, here are ten the Smitts thinks you can check out for starters, sio?
Video Vixenz – Khaligraph Jones ‘Wanjiru & Akinyi.’ I also donno if anyone in Kenya has a Lamborghini, lakini even you, if yu hadta go on a ride, the two video vixens yud wanna ride with are Wanjiru and Akinyi. Wait till the French guys who make the moti called ‘Menage’ unleash their 2017 ‘a Trois’ model.
Timmy T Dat – Inaweza? ‘Inaweza, haiwesi?’ That is just the catch phrase to end the year with, with variations like ‘Unawesa hauwessi?’ Esp if yur having a Deck house bash, complit with chiquittas n Jameson by the boddle, lol. And in my opinion,
Timmy t Dat – kweli anaweza!
Usifunike Sosuun Once yuv seen Sosuun, yul agree with me that she is not one of those talents za kufunikwa! Like she sez, kuna wale ma-artists boring wa bed time story, waletee sheets, blanketi na pia spray ya doom (ndio walele).
Tingika na kina Rankaddah na Naiboi What an effin’ fun video to watch. Kwanza vile Rankaddah ni ‘mu-kamba’ with his yellow suit n beret n ole skool VW, b4 Naiboi checks in kumchanua na mamanzi wa Nai whom they tell to keep tingikaing n cheza kidogo, as they order – ‘take it down, take it down luo!’ Lol.
The Rede Remix While Wyre has been pretty ‘steady’ in this hard zizski industry, this Gin Ideal lady is definitely ready to step into the high heels of the new hot chiquitta in da industry. (I’m also rede to fess up that tho I’ve always hated gin, preferring vodoski, this new Gin is just too ideal)!
Noushka – Mungu Wangu. Noushka musta dropped from the heavens wit bags o gold, coz when you see this classy video, shot over a long period on location, kweli yul say new Noushka has been blessed in every way.
(Then u watch Akothee shakin’ her battaks in ‘moyoni,’ and you know dat de devil is for real).
Bank Otuch
Clearly this mjacka called Vicmass waz onto sumthing big when he hit on ‘Bank Otuch.’ And from the video, what this jadhe dude wants is very clear – lotsa dollar! With it he can buy nice suits, mbotas, belts n shoes! N a huge screen TV n big white couch in an otherwise empty sitting room. Then entertain his three different GFs at separate times.
Gravitti – Some Reggae Now, lez get it clear, le Smitta has drez not locks, n they for ‘mau mau’ not Haile Selassie high I! Unlike peaceful weed smokers of Yamaica, I’m more russki vodoski n 4 smokin’ ya enemies, aye. But nah-baddy can resist ‘some reggae’ by this great band, Gravitti. They colourful like graffiti! N as ‘rooted’ in roots, pardon the pun, like gravity.
‘Taabu’ directed by Mhando A very likeable effort by 125 featuring Red Acapela – n they got nuttin’ much to tell ya.
Other than hawana taabu, yo yo yo, na maisha ni tamu, yay yay yay. Also, that everything is designer. And members of #Team-Mafisi call them ‘hyena.’ N their video gals? Yo yo, they yay!
Now Yu Know – Most viewed video of the year – Nyashinski. On Sunday, Flobey n I uber-pooled with Collo (form of Klepto, n of whom
Femi One sed yuko ‘chini ya maji’) from Nerkwo to Nai West where he waz goin’ to see Nyashinski (n we waz goin’ to Plan B to see Chelski FC go on toppa the league table). What is the point of that storo? Well, at the time of writing, mine waz the 891,525 th view of Nyashinski’s video ‘Now You Know.’
Just a week before, when we sat in Naivegas with Pulse ed Stevoski n Co, twas 849,508 views. That means the video got 42,017 more views within the week, or six thao views per day, or 250 views per hour, or four views per minute, or a view every fifteen seconds. Go out, view yur fave videos, then VOTE at PMVA ‘22845’ via SMS to make sure yur star wins!
Smitta Bonus
It wud be remiss to my dancing pardners Nerea n Cherop if I didn’t dedicate the below song to our marketer, Gloria Kosittany, which we harassed her wit thru-out our lake stay. ‘Gloria, Gloria, I think they’ve got yur number, yu really don’t remember, was it something that he said? All the voices in yur head, calling Gloria!!!!’ Thaz Laura BraniganJ
