"Kenya is not just about Lions, Giraffes and fast running men... it's also about Hip-Hop and Studios"- Tedd Josiah, Music Producer

The project
Kenyan Hip-hop was initially regarded as a passing fad. Hip-hop was
eagerly dismissed by the media outlets and the general public during
it's shallow inception in the early ninety's. Hip-hop today has firmly gained its roots in Kenya, while fusing its traditional music and drawing major influence from America. This fusion has led to a new entity-the birth of Genge Music.

Filming the documentary in Kenya, producer/Director Michael Wanguhu,
enjoyed collaborative efforts from top-notch Kenyan producers, and
reigning hip-hop acts past and present, seeking to expose a culture
they have whole-heartedly embraced and it is also punctuated by
footage of engaging live concert events. HIP HOP COLONY richly ties
key elements of hip hop , flexibility and talent which continue to
increase its dominance around the World one colony at a time.
