Buruklyn Boyz’s East Mpaka London is a gritty, emotionally layered debut that cements their status as East Africa’s premier Drill act.
The Nairobi-based duo, Ajay and Mr. Right, blend street realism with introspective storytelling, navigating themes of fame, survival, and ambition over a fusion of Drill, 90s Hip-Hop, and R’n’Drill production. Tracks like “Dream Ya Kutoka Kwa Block” and “Pree” explore the tension between love and notoriety, while “Intro” opens with a soulful reflection on their rise from rejection to recognition. With features from Maya Amolo, Silverstone Barz, and YoungLouie58, the album is both a cultural milestone and a sonic blueprint for Kenya’s evolving Drill scene.
