Ragz2Records
Ragz2Records: The sounds from the ghetto.
At Ragz2Records ,”not so well off”, musicians can make a professional recording for a cheaper price than elsewhere.
We visited the studio Ragz2Records in Buru Buru district (Nairobi), and helped them with some computer problems.
Video of the late mc Faza Nelly from X Plastaz
I believe a friend of mine, Thomas, made this clip and I like it.
This is Not Bongo Flava, this is Tanzanian Hip Hop.
Last video of the late mc Faza Nelly from X Plastaz, Tanzania’s most well known hip hop crew who merge Swahili rap and traditional Maasai music. This video to a song about poverty in Tanzania was partly recorded on top of Ol Doinyo Lengai, a remote, active volcano and the Maasai’s ‘Mountain of God’ which had its 1st major eruption in years the day after Nelly died.
