Nyashinski Drops New EP To Whom It May Concern: A Bold Musical Statement

Nyamari Ogengu, popularly known as Nyashinski, one of Kenya’s most versatile and respected artists, has once again made his mark on the music industry with the release of his latest body of work, an EP titled To Whom It May Concern. The highly anticipated six-track EP delves deep into a mix of introspective themes and assertive rap, confirming once again why Nyashinski continues to reign as a force in the Kenyan music scene.

Preceded by a teaser project titled Prequel i, Nyashinski set the stage for a powerful follow-up that delivers both lyrically and musically. The preview, just under two minutes long, hinted at what fans could expect: a blend of emotionally charged melodies woven into hard-hitting rap verses. With To Whom It May Concern, Nyashinski has crafted a musical therapy session, sharing raw emotions, personal reflections, and powerful messages through his lyrics.

The EP opens with “1 of 1,” a track that exudes confidence and self-assurance, setting the tone for the rest of the project. It’s a declaration of individuality and uniqueness, themes that resonate deeply with Nyashinski’s career, marked by his ability to effortlessly switch between rap, soulful melodies, and lyrical depth. This single, alongside “Busy,” stands out as radio-friendly hits that are likely to gain significant airplay.

One of the standout moments of the EP is “Jitu,” where Nyashinski collaborates with fellow Kenyan rap giants Khaligraph Jones and Savara. The collaboration is a high-energy fusion of lyrical prowess and impressive production, showcasing the unity and strength of Kenya’s music scene. The song is packed with punchy verses and hard-hitting beats, a reflection of the talent and creativity of the trio. Khaligraph Jones, known for his intense lyricism, and Savara, a member of Sauti Sol, bring a unique dynamic to the track, creating an unforgettable listening experience.

“Dopamine,” another highlight on the EP, taps into Nyashinski’s ability to connect with his listeners on a deeper level. The track’s title, a nod to the brain’s “feel-good” chemical, is a fitting metaphor for the power of music and its emotional impact. The song explores themes of happiness, fulfillment, and the pursuit of pleasure, while also delving into the complexity of modern relationships.

“Bluff” and “Silencer” take the EP in a more introspective direction, with “Silencer” having already been released as a standalone single, now remastered for the EP. These tracks offer a glimpse into Nyashinski’s reflective side, where he explores issues of trust, authenticity, and the pressures of success. “Silencer,” in particular, showcases Nyashinski’s ability to blend raw emotion with lyrical sharpness, reminding listeners why he remains a staple in the Kenyan music industry.

The production credits on To Whom It May Concern further highlight the depth of talent involved in the project. With contributions from renowned producers such as KDaGreat, Ogopa DJs, BULLY, DTX, and TeflonZinfluence, the EP is a polished and sonically diverse collection of tracks. The beats range from hard-hitting hip-hop instrumentals to smoother, more melodic productions, ensuring that each song has its own distinct flavor while still contributing to the overall narrative of the EP.
