"Vile shawty ako box....." say those four words to any Kenyan and expect a response "she"s telling me to stop....." and to Kahumburu Mutahi aka Kahu$h 'Me Siwezi Stop'this means Mans is here to stay.
And that"s the crazy thing about the name of his latest mixtape Niko which he explains was him trying to cement his foot in the game. Kahu$h made his debut in the industry with his first tape 'Trial and Error' him experimenting with different sounds, beats, and rapping style.
Kahu$h other than music, studies Politics and International Relations at Nottingham University in the UK. But what's interesting about his move to the UK is that he initially moved there due to a scholarship to play football.
Moreover, he's also a passionate techie and he even invented an automated Lighting and Motion senser system which eliminates the need to switch on or off the lights.
He's family has been a huge part of his support system as he focuses on his music, and have always encouraged him not to lose sight on his education as well. Covid 19 has actually been a blessing in disguise, as he can easily focus on his music and still manage to go to class online.
Kahu$h currently isn't signed to any record label and loves the autonomy of it. 'Getting to do your own thing under your terms is really something that people underestimate; that's the real freedom. But that doesn't mean i can never be signed, just depends on what deal is on the table" Kahu$h tells us.
Biggest inspiration: *I can’t really pick just one. But my favorite Kenyan artists that i look up to are Boutross, Khaligraph Jones, Korb$, Xeniah Manasseh, Baraka, Jerome etc *
Kahu$h worked with producers such as James Mutunga, Michael Carpenter, FK, Locko, Jamie on the project 'Niko'. Some of the popular tracks on Niko include Symptoms, Selfish, Double Double Sippin and Chapa Chapa,
We inquired on a rumored upcoming jam with Chris Kaiga, ' Yeah Yeah, that's definitely true. We just shot a video recently. So stay tuned''
Kahu$h has performed one song "Mixtape' on LWKY.
