Redsan and Jamaican queen Nyla released a new video dubbed Touch me. Th e Video was Exotic and now fans have started reacting to it. Check the comments below:

One fan wrote “I don’t want my Kenyan dancehall artist to sound Jamaican, I want him to sound Kenyan. The reason why we haven’t put (sic) a stroke globally is because we bite off other people’s style. For instance like Burna Boy, we can say he has a dance hall sound, right? But he does it in pidgin. It’s authentic. Everybody in the continent is putting their mark in music except us. Nigerians are popular because they sound Nigerian, Ghanaians because they sound Ghanaians, South Africans because they sound South African. The big artists should be at the forefront promoting Kenya. Again my 2cents. Mark my words, Sauti Sol will be the biggest thing coming out of Kenya. Watch!“

 Another one added “I love Sauti Sol. I madly voted for them and even campaigned for them to win but Redsan is his own man. By the way, Jamaicans are Africans not whites! As for Sauti Sol, their style is African pop but pop music did not start in Africa either. They just gave it an African twist and they owned it too just like Redsan owns dancehall in Kenya. Rap did not start from Africa either but African artists use rap as well with their African Twist. You can also say Phyno is copying Americans because Rap did not start in Nigeria. Just dance your wahala off. OKAY?“

He added: “I don’t want my Kenyan dancehall artist to sound Jamaican, I want him to sound Kenyan. The reason why we haven’t put (sic) a stroke globally is because we bite off other people’s style.
