Stivo Simple Bwoy has been making waves in the Kenyan entertainment scene since his interview on Chipukeezy Show Tonight a few months ago.
His YouTube channel, Made In Kibera, has gained significant traction, with over 23k subscribers, thanks in part to his song 'Mihadarati'.
Just a few months after releasing his song 'I Lift You Higher', a collaboration with Schneider Shanny, Stevo is back with a new jam dubbed 'Uhalifu'.
Stivo landed a deal with the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) to help with the fight against drug abuse in the country.
He was introduced to the CEO, Mr. Victor G. Okioma, by NACADA Board Member Mr. Vincent Mwasia Mutua, famously known as Chipukeezy.
Uhalifu ¶
'Uhalifu' loosely translates to 'Crime' and is a call to action to young people to avoid the negatives of life.
Stivo starts by highlighting the rate at which young people are plunging themselves into crime, and further emphasizes that crime kills, as depicted in the video.
He incorporated the help of his brother, Handsome Boy, in the video, with clear intent to create a campaign on empowering the youth.
From the look at the video, you notice the wardrobe change for the lads, with Stevo dressed in a blue suit and Handsome Boy dressed in a crisp brownish suit.
Stivo and his brother got a new look for their video, with Stevo smiling like a man who has just hit the jackpot.
Production and Video ¶
The song's production was done by Mkostii, video by Geoffrey Ochieng and Edward Wafula, part of the Made in Kibera team that worked on the song.
For rating, I give it a 6/10 due to the content and concept.
