Kenyan hip-hop takes a lyrical turn as Mzee Wa Itikadi and Mtalibani Halisi link up for “Anabless,” a track built for bars. The record arrived with a clear focus on delivery, storytelling, and the character each rapper brings.
Produced by Killshot 29 and mastered by Lambojini Vibes, “Anabless” gives both artists room to work without crowding the sound. Mzee Wa Itikadi holds down his rhythmic style, while Mtalibani Halisi adds a raw street-rap presence shaped by the coastal hip-hop scene. Their contrasting approaches give the song a dynamic feel, yet the lyrical direction never slips.
For listeners who have followed Mzee Wa Itikadi, “Anabless” answers the wait with something that leans on craft instead of a conventional club formula. It also speaks to the growing diversity inside Kenya’s hip-hop space, where traditional storytelling keeps meeting newer trap-influenced sounds.
