Virusi Mbaya – Such Thing

Kenyan hip-hop veteran Virusi Mbaya returns with “Such Thing,” a gritty record built on raw energy and street-focused lyricism that cuts deep. His commanding delivery anchors the track from the first bar.

The song arrives as part of his powerhouse album “Matenjagwo,” which also features appearances from Khaligraph Jones, Scar Mkadinali, Sewersydaa of Wakadinali, and Dyana Cods. Virusi Mbaya leans heavily into Sheng throughout, and his rhythmic flow cuts through the hard-edged production with precision. He switches cadence often, yet the intensity never dips.

Born and raised in Kibera, he has long drawn from that environment. “Such Thing” continues that tradition, exploring street survival and authenticity without softening the delivery. His vocal presence carries the weight of years spent in freestyle battles and underground hip-hop culture.

The release gives fans another example of why he remains central to Kenya’s rap scene. It also hints at the depth packed into “Matenjagwo,” a project where collaboration meets sharp solo moments.
