Kenyan hip-hop gets another gritty addition as Scar Mkadinali teams up with Baba Hakeem of Wakuu Music on “GANGSTER,” a hard-edged rap record released on September 21, 2026.
The 3-minute, 10-second track finds Scar Mkadinali leaning into his sharp and forceful rap delivery while addressing the realities of urban life through street-focused storytelling. Baba Hakeem complements the record with his own vocals, adding another layer and keeping the song firmly rooted in contemporary Kenyan hip-hop.
“GANGSTER” is built around a heavy production that allows both artists to bring their distinct performances to the forefront. The record also features background vocals from Churchill Mandela, with Zechus Oduor providing vocal accompaniment. Obwar handled the song’s mastering.
Released through Records DK, the collaboration adds another strong entry to Scar Mkadinali’s catalogue while bringing Baba Hakeem into the mix for a track driven by raw delivery, urban themes, and a direct street-rap approach.

If you want, I can also make it shorter, more punchy, or more SEO-focused while keeping the Voxtrendy style.
