What began as an anniversary gift for the Wajesus Family has evolved into the music group known as Dominion. During their 6th anniversary, Kabi wa Jesus penned a love song dedicated to Milly wa Jesus, titled 'Aki Love,' which drew mixed reactions from Kenyans. Despite initial feedback from Netizens, little did they realize that this marked just the beginning.

As Christmas approached, the couple, joined by other renowned couples namely, Wapendwa Muziki, Kaymo & Raych, The Wadosi Family, The Peekeys, and Purity & Dominic released another song, 'Hanini' (Slowly), humorously dramatizing the birth of Jesus and depicting an authentic Kenyan Christmas celebration. Although the song initially drew comparisons to Kabi wa Jesus's 'Aki Love,' it soon transformed into a cover of the popular Kikuyu song 'Hanini.'
