Zamani is not the only song that has made Rekles and his friends famous. They are part of a larger group called **Boondocks Gang**, which is one of the most popular music groups in Kenya. Boondocks Gang consists of three members: Rekles, Exray and Maddox. They are known for their unique style of music, which they call **gengetone**. Gengetone is a fusion of hip hop, dancehall and Kenyan slang, and it often features catchy hooks and fast beats.

Boondocks Gang has released many hit songs, such as Kidolee, Madam and Sijazoea Ivo. They have also collaborated with other artists, such as Ethic Entertainment, Sailors 254, Timmy Tdat and Magix Enga. Their songs have millions of views on YouTube and other platforms, and they have a loyal fan base that supports them. Boondocks Gang has also performed at many concerts and events, such as the Gengetone Festival and the Nai Fest.

Boondocks Gang is not only a music group, but also a lifestyle and a movement. They represent the youth culture and the street vibe of Kenya, and they inspire many people with their energy and creativity. They are also involved in social causes, such as raising awareness about drug abuse and violence. Boondocks Gang is one of the most influential music groups in Kenya today, and they are not afraid to express themselves through their music.

One of the reasons why Zamani and other gengetone songs are so popular is because they reflect the culture and the language of the Kenyan youth. Gengetone is a fusion of hip hop, dancehall and Kenyan slang, and it often features catchy hooks and fast beats. The name of the genre itself means “group or mass of people” in Swahili, and it is music made for the “ordinary masses” who live in the streets and face many challenges.

Gengetone artists use their music to rap about their lives and express their hardships, but also their joys and aspirations. They use Sheng, or Swahili slang, which is a dynamic and creative way of communicating that mixes different languages and dialects. Sheng is widely spoken by the urban youth in Kenya, especially in Nairobi, and it reflects their identity and their reality. Gengetone artists also use humor, irony and wordplay to make their songs more appealing and relatable.

Gengetone is not only a genre, but also a movement and a lifestyle. It represents the youth culture and the street vibe of Kenya, and it inspires many people with its energy and creativity. It also challenges the mainstream media and the norms of society, and it gives voice to the marginalized and the oppressed. Gengetone is a sound that’s alive in the streets, especially in Nairobi, because it started right here.
