Kenyan artiste Tekoon is carving a niche in the music industry with his unique sound, which he describes as Trap Genge.
His latest track, Hustle, carries a powerful message about resilience and the grind of street life.
He explains that the song reflects the essence of hard work which resonates with the everyday struggles people face in pursuit of a better future.
“It’s an anthem for anyone striving to overcome challenges and keep pushing forward,” he says.
His style is a creative fusion of trap beats and Kenya’s traditional Genge sound.
“By combining the two, I am preserving Kenyan music culture while introducing a fresh and globalized twist to it. Trap Genge stands out as a sound that is relatable, vibrant, and undeniably Kenyan,” he adds
The inspiration behind ‘Hustle’ stems from Tekoon’s personal journey as an artist. The track is a reflection of his determination to rise above the obstacles faced by many upcoming musicians, such as limited capital and lack of exposure.
Despite these challenges, he has remained consistent, drawing strength from the positive feedback and love he receives from his audience. Each release is a step forward in building his confidence and solidifying his place in the industry.
As Kenya’s hip-hop scene continues to evolve, Tekoon envisions Trap Genge playing a crucial role in shaping the future.
“I admire the diversity emerging from new artists experimenting with different styles and I believe that Trap Genge will offers a unique sound that appeals to a wide audience.
