I understand that it is Thursday, and I felt compelled to share this song as I have been searching for it for quite some time. My sincere gratitude goes to @_norbjr_ (instagram handle) for discovering this gem 💎.

Truly, you are remarkable for unearthing these timeless classics. The song is titled KITHATHA, performed by the FUN WITH SENSE Group in the 1996. This marked JOS MTAMBO’s initial entry into the music scene, and he certainly did not disappoint alongside his collaborator Omari.

This track also made a significant impact due to its message, particularly its aim to inspire young individuals regarding AIDS, complemented by impressive flows and an unconventional style that truly showcased his talent in the industry.

I invite you to enjoy this brief 2-minute clip and reminisce about the good old days with such incredible gems 💎 like this. Let’s embrace it 🎆🎆🎆🔥🔥🔥💯
