K-NEL "MBELE TU SANA" VIDEO LAUNCH EVENT A HISTORICAL MOMENT

We want to thank all those who turned up yesterday at this event. This was a historical moment so we decided to leak few details. The event was hosted by yours truly Metaphysics, Tony Tone and Wasu at Coffee Replay in Wuppertal. It all started well when K-Nel stepped in the venue. Metaphysics did what I would define as a "honourable welcome speech" announcing "Ladies and Gents, Kenya's number one recording Artist K-Nel has just entered the building. Give it up for K-Nel". The crowd reacted with a loud applause.
Shortly after midnight, K-Nel took over the stage accompanied by his Stars limit signee Beezy. There were bunch of Kenyans around to our suprise and even before K-Nel started his show, the Kenyans were yelling "Obama, Obama" for like 5 minutes. After a short introduction with the words "I go by the name of K-Nel and am proud to be African", K-Nel kicked off with his legendary freestyle "Obama Swagger". It was on and the crowd's reaction can't be described in words. He stopped the music and spit the lines acapella: K-Nel is in the building, akili ni mali kushida Bill Gates billions/Dunia mzima sasa inaimba Obama, Inaimba Obama..../ The crowd lost it!! K-Nel went ahead and introduced Beezy to the people as Stars Limit new Artist and immediately performed Beezy's new single ft K-Nel "When We Ride".
To flip the script, K-Nel announced "Am a play you something really African" and went ahead to perform Tingiza. Ladies went wild doing exactly what K-Nel said "Tingiza, we manzi Tingiza". They shaked so hard that even glasses were felling off the tables due to the ground shaking.He then concluded the show by performing "Mbele Tu Sana". The hook was so catchy that the people (even the white people) were singing along lol.
After K-Nel's showcase, an open M.I.C session took place and this reminded me of the slaughter house. Metaphysics, Calprit, Wasu, Tony Tone, K-Nel, AL and few female emcees took over the stage and what followed was a lyrical session I will never forget. These crowd simply recorded 1 whole album on stage. Simply sick.
We wanna thank all those who were involved and really supported to make K-Nel's video launch a success. God bless Africa!!
