COLLO RELEASES 3 PART EP SERIES DUBBED D.E.P
Hip-hop artiste, Collo, has released the first drop of a 3-part series extended play dubbed D.E.P Vol.1 (Dope).
The release is a reintroduction of the rap maestro and his extensive body of work showcasing his unique flow including a fresh new music video for Z Anthem. The sizzling drops include: Kaende, Extra•ODI•Nare, Cheza Biggy and Z Anthem.
The beat of Z Anthem was cooked by Quincy Rifle courtesy of Big Beats Afriq and the track celebrates a generation that rose up for reformation in Kenya, during this season of reawakening. Cheza Biggy has a nostalgic vibe to it as its lyrics provoke a call to action to think big. Kaende is a continuation of the conversation sparked in track 4 but more danceable while Extra•ODI•Nare is a fusion of both ol’skul and some fresh flavour.
The four jams were mastered by Lucas of Ogopa Inc and he also produced the first three. All these can be streamed exclusively on Collo’s official social and music platforms.
Collo first gained prominence in the industry with the award-winning group, Kleptomaniax, before venturing into a successful solo career and collaborations with other renowned artists. His chart-toppers include hits like “Hii Ngoma” with Nikki, “Party Don’t Stop” with Camp Mulla, and “Bazokizo” with Bruz Newton.
With this first E.P release, Collo, often hailed as the ‘king of rap’ expressed that, “ last year one of the world’s most influential cultures and musical genres of our time known as Hip Hop, turned 50 as I celebrated 20 plus years in the recording industry”.
The milestone is musically packaged in the extended play, D.E.P Vol.1; Vol.2 and Vol.3 which is inspired by Collo’s original name at the start of his career and the abbreviation stands for Dope-Expressive-Priceless A special gift to his fans and also reintroducing himself to a fresh audience.
