Kenya’s rising rapper Kuky drops a puissant new single, “Baddie,” a high-energy anthem that personifies fearlessness and readiness to conquer anything that comes your way.

Born Salima Muigai, Kuky is a Kenyan female rapper, model and entrepreneur. Her sound and style have been recognized for their musical versatility and lyrical prowess, proving that rap is no longer a boys’ club only. She started her career in music doing cyphers, which slowly morphed into something she fell in love with. 

The record follows May’s smitten release “Calling” and features a boisterous music video that showcases Kuky’s penchant on screen. 

Produced by Kenya’s versatile artist and music producer Afamefuna, famed for producing chart-topping sizzler “Cocoa Butter” featuring Danski off Lil Maina’s debut opus ‘Maisha Ya Stunna’, “Baddie’s” recording process was a collaborative effort between the two, where Afamefuna pushed Kuky to explore her untamed self-expression. The result is a raw performance that captures Kuky’s ethos, a fierce declaration that she is one of the finest MCs in the game. 

“Baddie” is a thrilling listening experience glazed with hard-hitting lyrics delivered in Kuky’s no-nonsense flow and raw energy injected into the Jersey Club beat. The dark chords and pulsating rhythm set the perfect tone for the song’s powerful message of empowerment. 

“We wanted to tap into Kuky’s untamed self-expression, which is why her vocals come across as though we were coloring outside the lines with these takes.”

Anamefuna’s extensive experience in music production and audio engineering pairs well with Kuky’s artistic grip, offering entertaining and timeless music. 

“Kuky had to reach deep into herself and connect with her grizzly alter ego to deliver these lines. When we were done recording, Kuky had channeled her all into the microphone.”
