Acclaimed Kenyan artists Calvo Mistari and Naiboi are back again with a double release dropping “Nataka Nikujue” feat. Nessa DeDiva and “Give Me Your Love” feat. Nessa DeDiva and Sydney 125. Both singles released under their new publishing imprint Room 308 were produced by Jegede with assistance from Musyoka who mixed and mastered the records.
The new songs, following the growing success of previous singles: “Rudisha”, “All My Dreams”, “Zama”, “The Prize” and “Baddest”, continue to build anticipation for their forthcoming joint album, 308.
The double release sees Calvo Mistari and Naiboi lean into their natural chemistry, blending Afro-pop and urban sounds to create two fresh, distinctly Kenyan tracks. While “Nataka Nikujue” captures the excitement of meeting someone new and making a connection, “Give Me Your Love” explores love, attraction and the confidence to put yourself out there. Together, the songs celebrate chemistry, spontaneity and the thrill of new connections with a playful, feel-good energy that encourages listeners to live in the moment and see where it leads.

Speaking on the release, the duo shared: “Nataka Nikujue” and “Give Me Your Love” captures the spark of meeting someone new and wanting to truly connect. It’s about bringing back the essence of dating: real connection, attraction and the courage to make the first move. Both songs have a vibe you can dance to and enjoy.”
Nessa DeDiva came in the studio to initially work on “Give Me Your Love” but after hearing “Nataka Nikujue” track she felt her vocals would be a great fit for the track. She joined the session and added her touch to the song, turning a spontaneous studio idea into a collaboration that brought a fresh energy to the record.
The double release continues the creative momentum behind Room 308, the collaborative project by Calvo Mistari and Naiboi, as they prepare to unveil more music from their forthcoming album. The project will feature a range of exciting collaborations that reflect the duo’s shared vision, evolving sound and creative growth.
