Legendary Hip Hop Kenyan artist, Kayvo Kforce and versatile rising Hip Hop artist Mr. KE4 have released a collaborative album titled ‘SAUTI YA GROUND’.
Mr. KE4 is a versatile Kenyan Hiphop artist who lives in between Kenya and the US, where is also studying in college.
Their 10-track album recorded over a period of three years features GJB100, Shamir, Omnivore and Gendi (an all-Kenyan list of collaborators).
Kforce says, “SAUTI YA GROUND is our first ever joint album and hopefully the start of a solid collaborative endeavor for me as I take on the next era on my album releases.”
In 2023 Kayvo Kforce rebranded and promised his fans a new approach to his artistry – which would be an Afrocentric approach to his Hip hop sound.

‘SAUTI YA GROUND’ is a testimony to this.
Just as the name suggests, this album has a more local/African approach to Urban Rap/Hiphop music.
It is a mashup of feel-good, inspirational music and real street Hiphop lyrics accompanied by local/African beats and vibes.
