    With just a week left until the Walker Town Concert, excitement continues to grow as EABL confirms that global icon Lauryn Hill will headline the second day of the event on September 29, 2024 alongside Kenya’s very own hip-hop star Nyashinski.

    Lauryn Hill, a former member of the iconic group The Fugees, is best known for her groundbreaking solo album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which garnered critical acclaim and secured her place as one of the most influential voices in music history. 

    Hits like Doo Wop (That Thing), Ex-Factor, and Everything is Everything have transcended generations, and her fusion of hip-hop, R&B, and soul continues to inspire artists around the world.

    Josephine Katambo, EABL’s Marketing Manager for Scotch & Reserve Portfolio, expressed excitement for Ms Hill’s performance.

    “We are incredibly excited to host Ms. Lauryn Hill’s return to Kenya, especially at such a prestigious event as Walker Town.

    “Her legendary status in music aligns perfectly with Johnnie Walker’s values of boldness, progressiveness, and excellence.”

    The rapper recently released a new album To Whom It May Concern which includes evidence of his prowess in tracks like  Dopamine and Jitu featuring Khaligraph Jones and Savara.

    In addition to his commitment to continually pushing the boundaries of Kenyan music, Nyashinski is also well-versed in delivering powerful and dynamic stage performances as evidenced by his own concerts dubbed Shin City.

    The event is also set to deliver an unforgettable experience with music from Bien, UK rapper Ardee and Rema who will be performing from September 28, when the event officially begins.

    Kenyan rapper Nyashinski has released a new single dubbed “Good To Me”. The song and the video, directed by Justin Campos, showcase the rapper singing the lyrics of the song to the mirror-image of himself.

    Some of the lyrics read, “Promise you’ll be good to me, I promise you I’ll be good” intimating that the song is about self-love but also a thought-provoking portrait of mental health and the role of positive thinking and affirmations.

    Sharing a clip of the song the rapper said, “Some days are going to be good and some days are going to be hard but at the end of the day, remember to be good to yourself. What you put in is what you get out.”

    Nyashinski is one of Kenya’s most renowned award-winning rappers with over a decade’s worth of experience. The rapper recently partnered with the alcohol brand Johnnie Walker who was the name sponsor for his since concluded concert that took place in various counties across the country dubbed Shin City.

    The song is available to stream on all digital channels.
