10) Big Adebo
The Beast from Magongo. Preferred language is English as you already know. He has been active in the studio this year since he is planning on dropping a mix-tape soon. (I wrote an article about it). He makes it to the list because of his work, he collaborates with artists from within and out Kenya. Very aggressive and liberal minded.

From hosting the Pwani fm Hip-hop Thursday show, straight to hosting Teke Teke, a hip-hop show on Pwani TV, the freestyle king from Mombasa has done a lot to promote the hip-hop culture. He has a huge fan base in Mombasa, on and offline. He has done a number of projects to help the street children, all that in the name of hip-hop. His music is on point too (btw, that's a constant thing that every guy in this list has, so I wont be repeating that)

8) Dizasta
This guy is the bomb! If you haven't heard Black City The Mix-tape you don't know what you are missing out. He is young (still a teenager) very creative and very talented. This guy is literally the future of Kenyan hip-hop, not just Mombasa. Originally he's from Rongai, but when in coast, you'll find him in Ukunda. The founder of Black City Movement, Dizasta is definitely the guy to watch out for.

7) Mohjay
The Emperor of Mtwapa. The king of unique and classic hip-hop beats. The brain behind Pwani Vina! Ever heard of a studio called Homesound? Well, Mohjay is the producer there. He is a video director too. In case you are in Mombasa and you want awesome scene for hip-hop, a nice fair budget video, Mohjay is the guy. Photography, graphics, name it! Mohjay will provide. He lives hip-hop, every single day of his life. He is Hip-hop.

6) Ristoh BSB
Another heavy weight from Magongo. Affiliate of Boomsalabar crew. Very awesome live performances from him. Right after Kaa la Moto left the airwaves, Ristoh replaced him on the Hip-hop Thursday show at Pwani TV. His music talks about street education, with hit songs like Money Pesa and Street Ishakubali, Ristoh is definitely another guy to watch out for.

5) Miss Dimplez
You are probably hearing that name for the first time, if not then you are not surprised to her on this list. I will describe her with simple words, The Best Female Rapper (that's a prophecy). She is fast when spitting. Has nice punchlines for a female, full of confidence, strong voice that is a big boost when it comes to message delivery. She is one female MC y'all should watch out for. (oookay. I've used that term, "watch out for" 3 times now, I should probably stop now)
4)Ohms Law Mombasa
This guy is undoubtedly the BEST rapper from Mombasa. If you don't know him, then you are missing out. As I a writing this, his song Poleni featuring Simple Boy is topping Pwani Fm charts. It is also the most requested song all across the coastal region and Tanzania too. He is one guy who can spit ill punchlines anytime of the day, never gets tired of writing lyrics and his delivery is just awesome. The Pride of Mshomoroni is among the best lyricist to ever emerge from Mombasa. Every song he's done is a hits my favorites being V si T (VCT), Street Star and definately Poleni. Currently he is a Media Student at Technical University of Mombasa, the most popular guy in campus together with his closest counterpart who is the next guy in the list......
3)The Anonymous Vedette
To start with, if you are reading this, it is courtesy of The Vedette. He is the founder of The Ultimate Hip-hop Experience, who's goal is to create much awareness on coast hip-hop. He has a sick flow, preferred language is English, but still can flow in Swahili. All his lyrics are directly related to real life happenings of his life. You'll just have to listen to him to understand what I mean. From hosting a weekly hip-hop show and events to blogging, to dropping a City's Anthem, The Anonymous Vedette is the one to raise hip-hop standards in Mombasa.
2) Odinareh Bingwa
With an album selling on itunes, number one track on Pwani Fm, making a record of a hip-hop track topping the chart for the longest time, and a number one video, Odinareh is on another level in the game. Producing at Kelele Records, the finest studio in town, with Teknix, the best producer, you expect nothing but top quality from Mr. Hopes and Dreams.
1) Petrooz
The MONSTER BRAIN. Why is he on this list, well simple, see all the above mentioned artists? They have all been produced by Petrooz at Stantmastaz Mombasa (with exception of Mohjay). He is one producer who has boosted the quality of Music that comes from the coast. Everyone wants a piece of him. All hip-hop artists in Mombasa, and some in Nairobi too wabt him on their beats. And he never disappoints. Always on Point. Sample his tracks, and the ones he has produced you'll see my point. Kenya's very own Dr. Dre.
