Gospel artists in the Kenyan scenes, mostly, release their sounds in Kiswahili and a slight percentage in English.

These four artists, use slang to reach the younger generation who are primarily their target audience through their craft.

It is said that if the mountain will not come to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to the mountain.

Those artists are below;

1. Timam Evans

First, if you don’t know this guy you are missing out. To bring you up to speed, he has released songs like;

Kamagera (which signifies desperation) and Washa Nare (which is a slang term for lighting up a cigarette but he coins it as a prayer that God would light the fire in our hearts so that we do not get tired of serving).

Timam defines his music as street worship.

His former life as an addict and a rogue, allows him to provide solutions and ‘fit in’ while sharing the gospel to his ghetto audience.

2. DJ Ruff

DJ Ruff has been active in the Kenyan Gospel scene since the year 2010 and is no stranger to most.

He has taken it a notch higher, where he has a sheng bible study on his YouTube channel covering topics such as who is Rastafari and more interesting topics you have been wanting to know.
