Top Kenyan Hip Hop Artist Octopizzo

Kenyan hip hop Star Octopizzo takes us on a creative journey around his childhood home of Kibera, Africa鈥檚 biggest slum - a place where he continues to find inspiration

Octopizzo is one of the biggest names in Kenyan hip hop, whose music continues to be inspired by his childhood growing up in Africa鈥檚 biggest slum. He takes the 成人快手鈥檚 Anthony Irungu on a night-time journey around Kibera, on the outskirts of Nairobi, as he explores the sights, sounds and people who influence his songs including his latest single Nu Afrika .
Octopizzo raps in the street slang of Sheng, but in a big new endeavour, his latest album has a jazz feel to it, a homage to the music his late father used to love. We also follow Octopizzo into his recording session as he departs from rap and sings on one of his songs for the very first time.
