If you ever wondered what would happen if American hip hop packed its bags, missed a flight to Atlanta, and accidentally landed in Meru — well, wonder no more.


American-based singing duo Duo Chiclopz and Servant Saivonne, together known by the tongue-twisting but unforgettable stage name MwendaMwendwa, have officially opened talks with Kenyan artists to cook up a full album aimed at one thing only: shaking Kenyan speakers and exporting Kenyan talent abroad. And yes, this is not a drill.

From Texas With Vibes

For those keeping score at home, Chiclopz is no stranger to serious music credentials. He is a former member of Minds of a Different Kind (MDK) — a respected hip hop group based in Texas, USA. Translation? This isn’t your cousin who “also raps” after two bottles of soda. This is certified experience crossing the Atlantic.


Meru Has Entered the Chat

In what can only be described as a musical Avengers assemble moment, MwendaMwendwa are in advanced talks with Meru’s legendary hitmaker Hemedi na Hii Beat of Assylum Records. The goal? A full collaborative album featuring Meru’s finest and Kenya’s top musical heavyweights.


Yes — Meru is not just about miraa and mountains anymore. It’s about beats. Heavy ones.


Who’s on the Guest List?

The upcoming project is already shaping up like a VIP event with no dress code but maximum talent. Artists expected to feature in this project are:

Waomakaveli – rapper, TV host, and professional mic controller

Wizzle Driller – drilling beats, not walls

Fatuu– vocals smooth enough to cause traffic jams

…and other top Kenyan talents ready to surprise you


More Than an Album — It’s a Movement


According to the duo, this album is just the beginning. The bigger picture?


Grow a local Kenyan audience

Push Kenyan artists to international markets.

Create a win-win collaboration where nobody gets shortchanged — except silence, which is about to disappear completely.


 Final Warning 

The stage is set. The cultures are mixing. The beats are stretching their passports.


So keep your ears open, your playlist ready, and your expectations slightly unhinged, because America is meeting Kenya, and the result will be a sound you’ve probably never tasted before.


Yes — tasted. It’s that kind of music.

Photo/Martin Muthuri.  Meru teachers are not just marking books — they’re marking dance steps too. And not just any steps. The Meru Teachers’ Choir has officially danced their way to the very top, scooping first place in the Folk Dance category at the ongoing Kenya Music Festivals National Finals , right here in Meru . The victory comes barely two years since the group was formed, and only on their second appearance at the nationals. Last year, they reached the finals in Eldoret , but this year they decided to carry the whole trophy home — literally. Their win also comes with an invite to tomorrow’s prestigious Gala at Meru School , where they’ll perform in front of none other than Deputy President Prof. Kithure Kindiki . Talk about going from “staffroom practice” to State-level audience. But as group member Martin Muthuri reveals, this success was not just ...

When Meru Met Nairobi: The Night Aquadel Turned Pool Tables into Battlefields

Aquadel Pool Tournament Contestants Pose for a group picture.  Photo/Felix Kinyua. Ladies and gentlemen, gather round. I’ve written words for weddings, covered chaos, and even described a goat auction once — but never in my long, word-filled life have I been speechless. Yet this month’s Aquadel Pool Tournament did the impossible: it shut me up. I tried to write about it the next morning, but even my keyboard refused to cooperate. My mind said “poetic justice,” but my heart whispered, “bro, we got humiliated.” --- The Calm Before the Cue Storm At exactly 5PM — not a minute later, because Aquadel doesn’t do “African timing” — I strolled into the New Aquadel Auto Spa Carwash at Gakurine, a few meters from the Maua–Isiolo junction. What I found there was less of a carwash and more of a movie set. You’d think Netflix was filming The Fast and the Curious: Meru Drift . And right there, the mighty Nairobi Elite had already set up camp — sharp, slick, and dangerous in red. Our local heroes ...

Photo/Felix Kinyua.  Ladies and gentlemen, Today, allow me to take a break from my usual sermons and sorrows. No complaints, no blame games, and definitely no advice to anyone owing Fuliza. Today, we celebrate . Because this past Saturday, Makutano and its neighbouring areas witnessed something so smooth, so well-planned, so enjoyable — even Murugi’s Base couldn't believe it. This was the second edition of the Aquadel Pool Tournament, and yes, my friends, this one was different. Very different. --- How We Got Here — A Fortnight Ago, in the Backstreets Now, if you’ve been following me (and I know most of you do, even silently), you remember I recently wrote about a man called Bloko, the CEO of Aquadel Drinking Water. Back then, we were just at our humble base in Mikocheni — same pool table, same squad, same arguments about who plays next. Then Bloko showed up, saw potent...
