By Presta, 8 July 2023

King Kiti in a Nut Shell:

Jidei Kitu (Stage Name King Kiti) is a Recording Artist, Music Producer, Composer, Talented Rapper, and singer (strong inclination to ‘Bass’). Additionally, he can play a couple of instruments, particularly the Trombone!

Born in ’98 in Turkana County, King Kiti, was raised in Kakuma town for a while, studied in Lodwar, before proceeding to JKUAT (Juja) for his Procurement and Contract Management degree program.

Currently, King Kiti is in ‘The School of Life’  where he admits to taking day to day hard knocks. But such is life, right? He has been doing music since a tender age. However, it was only recently that he officially ventured into creating his unique kind of Musical Artistry. He draws his passion and drive from a short course on ‘Sound Engineering’ they he pursued at the African Digital Media Institute (ADMI)).

Let’s Get to The Album and Recording Procedure:

Kiti decided to drop a brand new album in a bid to express his life experiences, particularly on Rap. The Album, Cash On Delivery (C.O.D) is an idea that piqued his interest, and drew him out to address the impending economic state we are facing as a nation. He states that his experience during the recording process was nothing but Great! C.O.D was recorded in the “chambers”! Basically, a small studio at home. He prefered recording at his own place because of the comfort which enhances confidence in expressing himself lyrically.

King Kiti drew inspiration of the album from day to day life experiences. The 5 song EP addresses different life aspects that we are facing or have ever faced before.

Inner Circle is the EP’s intro. The song gives tribute to his inner circle; basically his close friends and fans who supported me since day one.

C.O.D, which is also the Album’s title, addresses his business experience, cash on delivery for products in the central business district but also cash on delivery to purchase weed for its CBD. Awesome word play, I have to admit😉. It also talks about  several factors that hinder business such as the NPS which is the national police service who interfere with civilian business for their own personal gain.

King Kiti gets lovey-dovey with the third song ‘Top’, which is addressed to his better half ‘Main Peng’ as he calls her. The song is more of a lyrical expression of how she makes him go crazy  with the things she does.

10 is a track that addresses how he rolls, his vibes and drips at 100%. It  be related to anything that falls on the 10/10 rating.

Njaa Ya Money. Pretty much straightforward! The track speaks on the harsh economic state we are in currently. Everyone has “njaa ya money” following inflation. There is no survival without money. Because of this, everyone has to find their own way to earn some. We can all relate, right?

Parting Shot:

This is what the self-made king had to say to his fans, “The fans should be entertained as they enjoy the pure and authentic lyrical vibes and flows. The project will give different vibes as not everyone will listen to it differently and interpret each song on their own way in relation to their daily life experiences. I hope everyone gets to enjoy the vibrations.”
