SOTD| Haree~ Kleptomaniaxx
Honestly, today feels nostalgic and vibey so Kleptomaniaxx’s Haree is the song of the day. It could be the millennial in us speaking but we can all agree that they don’t write them like they used to right?!

SOTD| Jakk Quill, Andyah ~ The Door
Today’s SOTD will make you appreciate Jakk Quill’s range and pen game. The synergy between his delivery and Andyah’s vocals are enough to make you zen. Surprisingly the song has some grim undertones, but the vibe is quite hopeful and brightens your day.

I am proud of this jam and I am not even going to defend myself. Avocado is goated and you can’t convince me otherwise! All the avocado naysayers can come fight me for the aux at the back.
SOTD| No Consequences ~ The OnlyRosa
This song is for the lovebirds. Mapenzi iko hapa ndani ni hatari. Honestly Rosa was in her bag here, and it had me feeling jealous. Yaani people are loved like this out here but bora uhai. The song’s vibe is quite chill and flowy so it makes the candlelit playlist.

You have all the… Read More WORDS| Hope
WORDS| Separating the Art From the Artist
