about

"Trod 'Pon This Land" - The debut cypher from The Breadsteppas collective. The track dropped for streaming only and on MP3 version in 2016. The tack features 4 vocalists and 4 unique styles represented in English, Swahili and Sheng. The track is a true electro-dancehall-hip-hop collaboration between the Breadsteppas themselves and is definately a trend-setter in terms of music and sound from the assortment of urban music emerging from Kenya.

Here is a high fidelity "Sub-Saharan Dancehall" version of the song . The song was originally composed by Mumo and Ra Ny'Kang as The Breadsteppas for a local film soundtrack. The song took on several iterations between JJ and Mumo, with Mumo composing variations on the theme and JJ remixing those.

Armaggideon Soldier,

(JJSNWLPRD)
It's been a long time,
I'm stepping,
Bread in my hand,
I'm reppin'
I never knew,
that I could lose so much,
...to the stars,
I'm gazing,
Don't shed a tear,
my Children

(The Sub-Saharan)They'd rather kill all of y'all with Bilharzia,
and run off 'for the police arrive in full riot gear
The Hyena tears it's way through semi-arid areas
in a very savage savannah,
...here, I rolled us slims for the trip to Havana
wacha I ask the landlord for fire
cuz kuna a-sufferer afa....
