Kenyan music icon Nameless has once again proven why his name is etched in the hall of East African music history.
The veteran hitmaker is riding high on the success of his latest remix Nasinzia, a cross-border collaboration with Tanzanian sensation Marioo.
Produced under Marioo’s Bad Nation Records, the track is already shaping up to be one of the biggest regional anthems of the year.
In less than a week since its release, the remix has garnered over 1.6 million views on YouTube; a testament to the powerful blend of nostalgia and new-school flair.
The music video is a vibrant celebration of East African culture, fusing Nairobi street vibes with the infectious Mapangale dance.
Fans are treated to captivating scenes featuring Nameless alongside his wife, fellow singer Wahu, while Marioo appears with a stunning model, creating an energetic and visually rich production that screams unity and star power.
Following the overwhelming reception, Marioo’s label took to social media to heap praise on the Kenyan legend, acknowledging his impact on the regional music scene.
“Asante sana LEGEND Hii ni hatua kubwa kwetu na mchango mkubwa kwa tasnia ya muziki wa Afrika Mashariki. Ushirikiano huu unaweka alama ya heshima, umoja na historia ndani ya industry.
Huu sio wimbo wa muda mfupi. Hii ni legacy. Ni kazi itakayoishi, itakayounganisha vizazi na kubaki kwenye kumbukumbu za mashabiki kwa miaka mingi ijayo,” the outfit posted.
The heartfelt message was in response to an earlier post by Nameless, who expressed his excitement about working with Marioo and praised the younger star for bridging generational gaps in music.
“Nimependa sana kufanya hii remix na brother wangu wa Tanzania Marioo. Ameubless na new vybe ambao umependeza sana for the new generation. Marioo uko na heshima yangu na pia uko na team ya nguvu. Hapo sawa King. Tuzidi. East Africa thank you for the love you have shown me and my songs. Keep watching, keep sharing and keep making memories,” he shared.
True to form, Nameless wrapped up his message with his signature line that has echoed through clubs and concerts for years:
“This is for the lovers in the house.”
