*Mafisi* have been all over waiting for that day for the sexy singer to declare her marital status...it seems the wait is no more as Vivian has given them the diretion to her heart. This is what she posted on her social media account;

Dear Future Husband,
I'm getting real tired of this hide and seek game, I think it's about time you find me.
Here is a few things you got to know if you want to be my one and only in my life.
First you must be able to make pancakes. This is not negotiable. I love pancakes. Second you must be good in hugs. I love hugs. Third you can't shrub the word "beautiful" as you will be using that word a lot telling me how beautiful I am every morning. Words like "I'm sorry" must come naturally to you, you will be using them a lot after we fight. Fifth you must be ready to laugh at my jokes, whether funny or dry. Away from the crazy rules, please Find God, Find Yourself then come find me. You don't have to drive any BMW or Mercedez to be handsome. I just need a God fearing man. That's what I find handsome. You don't have to be rich, a kind heart is more than enough for me. You must promise to give me full attention, respect and honor. I want to fall in love with you from the moment I see you. I want to see in you every hope, every desire and every dream I have ever had of my soul mate. I want to fall in love with everything about you from how you sip your coffee to the way you crinkle your nose. I want to go on long drives and long walks with you and just spend hours talking endlessly. I want to cook for you and pamper you like a baby. I want to read out poems to you and dance to my songs for you. I want to share all my dreams and fantasies with you and promise to stand right next to you during good and bad days. I want to grow old with you so that we can tell our love story to our grandchildren. I want us to be spiritually and emotionally connected to each other's souls till eternity and beyond. I am living this dream and waiting to meet you. I know God is preparing you for me. Please hurry up, I am tired of being hurt by the wrong ones.
Your Future wife Vivian

Now the ball is in your court if you are a member of the Sacco &'Nyemelearing'. Make sure before making your move you have all the qualities she needs in you.

Influxx Swagga One of the Earliest Hip Hop Artistes in Kenya

Born Augustine Kavindu, Influx Swagga is one of earliest hip hop artistes in Kenya who started music as BKV, a performing artiste at the age of nine in 1996 and later re-branded to Influx Swagga in 2005, when he recorded his first song "WAZIM". He made his first original composition in 1998 and celebrated to have had 300 minutes of non-stop play on stage in 2008, among being the first African artistes to use the internet to reach his fans. He is credited with coming up open during a time that it was like a crime to do urban music especially hip hop in Kenya and making it an acceptable genre. He was nominated in Germany for the most promising African artiste in 2009 for his first album “Ndani Yangu” which sold over 100,000 copies. He did not grow up in an urban setting like many other rappers but was bought up in Mwingi, a rural town in Kitui County which is fast becoming a talent hub in East Africa. He is of a music blood; His father and grandfather were musicians who rocked their times in with other ancient music genres. Musically, he has a crazy slogan of “Mziki Nafanyia Justice Bila Hata Practice,” which means, “I do justice to music even without practice,” He has the fastest exploding fan base across the world simply because his Music goes beyond the limits of style and the fact that he is multi-talented being an actor, model, and writer having written Enslaved In freedom, Blood Murder and Face To Face.

In 2011 he became the first African artiste to release a successful double album and most probably, he may be last since no other artiste has done it yet. Swagga Flani and Last Episode took the market by storm with their songs rising to the top of Music charts in Fm radio stations in Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria and Uganda. “Kama Ulinipenda” from the “Last Episode” album and “Nikubalie” from the “Swagga Flani” album were big songs in Tanzania. Swagga Flani even included the Instrumental Version of the Kenya national anthem to show his love to his country. Other big songs from the albums were “Kwachua, Last Episode” a song which ruled the Kenyan charts for not less than 18 months after it was released as a single, “Chokoza Reply, Last Episode”, “Hitback, Last Episode”, “Nayo Nayo, Swagga Flani”, and “Mr. President, Swagga Flani”.

Influx Swagga has also published Other Audio Albums like Wazito in 2013 and Short Message in 2015 among several other mix tapes and Working on his 2016 release titled Music Hustler. He will also be releasing his Debut Video Album titled Unganika Music and still working on more Videos.

IS SANII DROPPING THE MIC ?

After he said he is fully back in the music industry, it is so shocking to get the news from an undisclosed source that Narok’s finest and fast rising artiste known to us as SANII has decided to drop the mic and quit music.

We got to interview him and this is all he could say;

             “It’s for the best. I just want to major on something else I could have done many years ago.”

He further went on by saying;

             “I know I have won a lot of fans & friends’ hearts as a fast rising artiste. Even though my new hit single ‘NANYORAI’ did great…i think it’s the last song my fans will hear from me and I know many won’t believe it to be true but it’s a fact.”

News that we received from undisclosed sources told us that Sanii had collaboration with a Zambian Artiste which was to be released soon but due to his decision of stepping out of the industry this won’t be possible. He sent his apologies to his fans, and he is focusing on finding a greener pasture.

We wish him all the best.

Meanwhile watch his Hit single here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyeyQM3ZQsg&nohtml5=False
