Among them were <a href="/wiki/Boomba_music" title="Boomba music">Boomba music</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kapuka_rap" class="mw-redirect" title="Kapuka rap">kapuka</a>, and gemba.

(October 2023)">when?</span></a></i>]</sup> Kenyan rapper <a href="/wiki/Nonini" title="Nonini">Nonini</a> started a campaign to popularize the term "genge" to refer to Kenyan urban music and also specifically to music by artists on Calif Records. </p><p>Calif-style genge was founded by Clement "Clemo" Rapudo of <a href="/wiki/Calif_Records" title="Calif Records">Calif Records</a> and originated in California Estate, <a href="/wiki/Nairobi" title="Nairobi">Nairobi</a>. It was popularized by rappers Nonini, with his song <i>Manzi wa Nairobi,</i> and <a href="/wiki/Jua_Cali" title="Jua Cali">Jua Cali</a>, with the songs <i>Ngeli ya Genge</i>, <i>Nipe Asali,</i> and <i>Ruka</i>. </p><p>Due to a disagreement on the definition of Kenyan urban music, the name genge is now more commonly used to describe music from Calif Records. However, genge is easily identified by its rapping style and conversational rhythm format that make a song sound like a casual discussion in Sheng. </p><p>The most notable genge artists are Nonini, <a href="/wiki/P-Unit" title="P-Unit">P-Unit</a>, Jua Cali, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Influx_Swagga&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Influx Swagga (page does not exist)">Influx Swagga</a>, Flexx, <a href="/wiki/Jimw@t" class="mw-redirect" title="Jimw@t">Jimw@t</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Rat-a-tat&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Rat-a-tat (page does not exist)">Rat-a-Tat</a>, Alpha Msanii, Lady S (deceased), <a href="/wiki/Kleptomaniax" title="Kleptomaniax">Kleptomaniax</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Pili_Pili" class="mw-redirect" title="Pili Pili">Pili Pili</a>, among others. Nonini was continuously the most popular artist on Calif Records between the years 2002 and 2004; Nonini is the self-titled Godfather of Genge. </p><p>Genge has given rise to other subgenres, such as the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Ghipuka&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Ghipuka (page does not exist)">Ghipuka</a>, popularized by <a href="/w/index.php?title=Kenrazy&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Kenrazy (page does not exist)">Kenrazy</a> and Gengetone. The main line has also developed, for instance with America-based producer Keggah adapting genge into a form that has proved popular among Kenyans. </p><p>In June 2018, an Umoja-based boy band called Ethic Entertainment came out with their debut song "Lamba Lolo," garnering over 4 million views on YouTube. Other boy bands like Boondocks Gang, Ochungulo Family, Sailors Gang, Wakali Wao, Angry Panda, Wakadinali, Vintage Clan, and Rico Gang produced songs that created the subgenre <a href="/wiki/Gengeton" class="mw-redirect" title="Gengeton">Gengetone</a>. </p><p>Genge songs generally talk about struggles in the ghetto, with most songs taking on a storytelling format where the main singer is reliving or sharing an event they witnessed with their friends and the lesson the event has taught them. These events often, but not always, revolve around sex, drugs, women, or interactions with people in positions of power over them. </p><p>Some of the most popular genge tracks include:<br /> </p>
