Kazi ya Msalaba is such an inspiring song and in two fronts, having known King Clan B for a while his is a story of consistency and persistence in a difficult industry.
Two fronts, one King Clan B has earned his stripes by being a consistent gospel artist despite the challenges and two, being in love with his craft so much so that he does it not because it pays but out of pure passion.
King Clan B has a great music portfolio but Kazi Ya Msalaba is one of his best works yet. The beauty about this song is in its first 10 seconds, it has such a peaceful vibe that leads you on into the rest of it.
Good music is healing to the soul and Kazi Ya Msalaba does just that, from a lay listener’s perspective, the arrangement of the song is well done, the writing is also something that has intention and a message that’s quite relate-able. A big highlight however is the chorus, the harmonies have blended so nicely you’ll want to check the credits for the featured singer.
We caught up with King Clan B who conveniently dropped this song during the easter festivities and here is what he had to say “ Kazi ya Msalaba is an interesting song because I wanted to work on an afro beat for this project but Micrule my producer thought it best to work on something different, we worked on it and Kazi ya Msalaba was born, you’ll notice the melodies are quite different on this one especially the guitar chords and that’s because they were done live by Jeremy one of the renown guitarists in Kenya”
He added, “After listening to my album we schedule to do a number of video with Twister Black.. we had not planned on shooting Kazi ya Msalaba but on the day of a shoot of a different video, we both decided to settle on Kazi Ya Msalaba instead and we thank God for that change of mind as the project turned out perfect.”
If I was to sum Kazi Ya Msalaba in one word, I’ll simply term it as ‘Growth’ King Clan B is advancing and carrying Eldoret and by extension Kenya’s gospel industry with him, a tall order but he does it graciously.
Cheers King!
