This compilation from independent Melbourne label Brothersister represents a facinating musical and cultural exchange. The songs contained on the album result from a trip to Nairobi, Kenya, where a mobile recording studio was established by Brothersister in mid-2010. Young MCs in the township of Kibera recorded various vocal tracks, which were sent back to Melbourne for interpretation by local beatmakers. The completed tracks traverse a wide range of sounds and styles, incorporating aspects of Kenyan hip hop sub-genres as well as experimental electronic, R n B, pop and techno forms.
