Gengetone is a music genre that originated in Kenya around 2018. It blends elements of hip-hop, dancehall, and afrobeats, characterized by its catchy beats and street slang. The genre often features lyrics in Swahili and Sheng, a local slang that mixes various languages and dialects. The rise of gengetone has been fueled by social media and platforms like YouTube, where artists share their music and videos. Popular groups and artists, such as Boondocks Gang and Ethic Entertainment, have played a significant role in bringing this vibrant sound to a wider audience, making it a staple in Kenyan youth culture.
