Razini - Kenyan HipHop Artiste  Profile

Razini is a male Kenyan music artiste. He was born in the suburbs of the capital city – Nairobi, where he begun his quest of music in his early teen years. His passion for the arts saw his talent recognized at a young age and he has kept it real as can be testified by his music. Razini’s star has been glowing in Nairobi and Mombasa cities where he has performed at numerous concert venues and music gigs including the Mombasa Beach Party, Club Akademix @ Florida 2000, Chaguo la Teenies, Youth-A-Youth concert in Nairobi including numerous TV appearances. His style is a unique fusion of Hip Hop and African music influences. The name “Razini” is derived from a Swahili word that means ‘mtu aliye na akili timamu’ which translates to a rational, sane person or a person with a conscious, meditating mind.

Razini does his music recording at a Nairobi Audio recording production house known as “LMC Records” that is operated by the producer, Lambert “Lombaman” Mukhiza, a seasoned and talented sound engineer. Razini is an all-rounded individual who combines titles which include: Hip Hop performing musician, dynamic song writer, ICT engineer, an avid sportsman and experienced Master of Ceremony (MC) for a wide array of social and corporate functions.

Razini has a solo album titled “ I – N – I ” that is due for release later on this year. The songs to expect from this album include the Swahili Hip Hop ballad “Namdai”, where he features “Terdamite”, an Amsterdam-based dancehall artiste who is also causing ripples in the local music industry. “Kaa Nayo” is a pure Hip Hop release that incorporates breathtaking beats and creative lyrics topped up with wordplay and execution that sets Razini apart from your everyday wanna-be rapper. The unique Razini style is also felt in the follow up to “Kaa Nayo”, titled “Hip Hop Lovaz” which represents all the true Hip Hop heads in the motherland of Afrika. Other tracks to expect are : “Dance On The Floor”, “Rotejo” featuring “Ena G” of Tembe Kali Krew and “Love la Pendo” featuring renown DJ and dancehall artiste “Mr Chew”.

Razini is also currently shooting a couple of videos which are due out anytime from now. When asked why he hasn’t done any videos before he replied, “Mtu hafai kutoa tu video eti ndio tu itoke, ama eti juu unataka wasee wa mtaa wakucheki. You must have an agenda that’s beyond just showing off the video to pals. Music is a serious business and as such I don’t do anything just because. Lakini watu wangu msi-worry, mavideo na mashow ziko kwa mradi kabisa kabisa. Just keep an eye out for them.”

Razini is a breath of fresh air in an industry that has proven to be overly conformist and his insight and power of creation is a sure indication that he will be chanting the airwaves for a long time to come. This dynamic individual has lots of projects up his sleeve and in a recent interview at a prominent TV station he talked about his vision and mission as quoted below:

Razini : “Well, I have been in the industry for a while now, actually I have been actively engaging in the arts, music specifically since around the turn of the millennium. You know the rhetoric by many artistes is that the industry is difficult to penetrate, it’s biased, they don’t appreciate, and all that vibe. True. But at some point I felt that it’s not enough to blame everyone else while you keep doing the same thing over and over. That’s why the entire LMC family and myself took it upon ourselves to do what’s never been done before and make the impression felt. It’s already working and we ain’t even started yet. Yaani roundi hii tunaburuka na hii maneno mpaka Amsterdam, na ikibidi tufike kwa moon nayo. Hiyo ndio morale tunayo na wasingoje tuchoke, juu watangoja sana. ”
