Back in the early 2000s, Kenyan artistes had the luxury of being a sort of monopoly before other East African and Nigerian artistes started to rule the airwaves.

Ogopa Deejayz and Calif Records were the most sought after recording houses and were known for producing 'kapuka' and 'genge' beats respectively.

The major kapuka artists included the likes of Nameless and Gidi Gidi Maji Maji, while Jua Cali and Pili Pili were known for their genge music.
