Kenyan hailed internet personality turned artist Lil Maina will release his highly coveted debut studio album, ‘Maisha Ya Stunna’, on the 13th of December, 2023.
Led by the already-released smash singles ‘Ma G Kwenye Klabu‘, ‘Zoza‘, ‘Alert‘, Lil Maina’s lofty spell as one of the top acts in Kenya’s vibrant entertainment scene will continue as his transition into a music savant will allow fans and music lovers to connect with him following the release of his first full official LP.
“It’s all about showing my growth as an artist. I’ve done some evolving, have worked on this album tirelessly, and want to show my fans that I’m ready to keep offering them quality music” Lil Maina.
Tapping Drill collaborators Buruklyn Boyz, to the sultry Njeri on their R&B infused cut “Company”, Gengetone stalwart Trio Mio, and rap hitman Scar Mkadinali on “Ma G Kwenye Klabu”, the LP is a tightly sewn record reflecting Maina’s hit-making prowess and his vulnerable frame, the latter, a side he has rarely showcased musically.
On production, perhaps this is the most glaring and ambitious aspect of the record. Having built a reputation for breaking out with cover singles, each cut on the record is an original composition – again highlighting his unbridled will to muster artistic integrity and dexterity.
Producers from the vivacious chart-topper Ndovu Kuu, risers Odzz, Luigi, LM, KB, Afam Efuna all make sterling appearances.
Visually, Maina also opts for the virtuosic Visuals By BO to produce his cover art. The tape’s art is a glossy, poppy and colorful motif showcasing Maina’s witty grin and grilled mouth jewelry inviting the listener for a flashy but hedonistic experience into the ‘Stunna Life’.
Having amassed incredible success as an artist and Internet star, the runway for glory for Maina is rolled out and he takes center stage in seizing fashion on the new LP.
