Internationally acclaimed Kenyan Mixmaster DJ Shinski has teamed up with one of Kenya’s top hitmakers, Naiboi to deliver their latest track titled ‘Give it to me’.
The collaboration is a mix of two worlds that blend seamlessly. Shinski on his end is known to command the attention of partygoers from the decks while Naiboi is famously known for his lyrical prowess. The song’s lyrics makes you want you fall in love while the beats want you to dance all night long.
The song has garnered close to 50,000 views since its release about a month ago. It was produced by a Kenyan producer based in Houston known as I am Giggz.
Speaking on how the collab came to be, Shinski said, I reached out to Naiboi on instagram and proposed a beat by I am Giggz to him. Naiboi really liked the beats and within a week’s time he came up with the lyrics of the song.”
When asked why he chose to delve into the music industry, Shinski revealed that he has always had a passion for producing music and that way before his illustrious deejaying career, he used to produce music on an amateur level. Now he sees a future where he juggles mixing and producing.
“It was a hobby, and I didn’t really take it seriously until a few years ago when I started making club remixes of popular songs that I would share with other DJs. The remixes gained popularity among the DJ community, and it encouraged me to step in more in the production side of music. Since then, I have done songs with a couple artists like Arrow Bwoy and Naiboi. The goal is to be playing my own songs or remixes when I am performing at my shows,” added the award-winning deejay.
Shinski whose real name is Steve Nyaosi, praised Naiboi saying that he enjoyed working with him because he takes his craft seriously and his overall professionalism.
In 2023, Shinski hopes to release the EP he is currently working on. The upcoming EP is set to feature a host of top African and Caribbean artists.
