Kenyan-born and American-based rapper, singer, and record producer KayCyy recently sought the magic of Njerae in their single “Far Away,”
“Njerae and I linked up this year and I love her growth as an artist. We wanted to share a song that speaks to Kenya, where we both come from, but that carries a global appeal essentially” KayCyy mentions.
“KayCyy is really talented and has worked with some of the biggest names in the world from Kanye, to Justin Bieber. To see someone from Kenya who is at the highest level is really inspiring. I wanted to create something that felt true to me and I really put my soul on the record. I love collaborating , and he is easy to work with as well as really intentional” Njerae says.
On the back of KayCyy’s industrious year already by releasing his June LP , ‘Before I was born’, to pairing up with his creative mentor A$AP Rocky on the riveting “pray4dagang” – KayCyy is back to sharing music with his loyal fans once again.
Sharing a snippet on social media generating over 1 million impressions and a massive cosign from artists such as A$AP Rocky, Bien, just to name a few – the record is one of the year’s most anticipated cuts to date.
