Qatari-based Kenyan rapper ZZYCHI drops new track “Judas”

Inspired by a personal experience of betrayal, ZZYCHI explains, “The song is really about staying aware of who you trust and the company you keep.” By tapping into this theme, he aims to spark conversations on loyalty and the importance of true friendships in an often turbulent world.

Drill music, known for its raw intensity, provides the perfect vehicle for ZZYCHI’s message. He shares his admiration for the genre’s dynamic energy, stating, “You can’t be on a drill beat and not match the energy; that’s what moves the crowd during performances.”

With drill’s increasing popularity in Kenya, ZZYCHI sees an opportunity to bridge his Qatari-based platform with his roots back home, leveraging drill’s growing presence to connect with Kenyan audiences.

The track “Judas” features fellow artist Kenniso, whose raw style brings an authentic hood vibe to the collaboration. ZZYCHI recalls how they connected: “We met through Instagram when I saw him posting his music in Qatar.

After being out of the game for a while, I hit him up, and he introduced me to Mona Beatz, a talented young producer here in Doha.” Together, the trio hit the studio, and the result was what ZZYCHI describes as “magic.” Kenniso’s vibe, combined with ZZYCHI’s lyrical grit, promises to appeal to a young, energetic audience.

“Judas” is a glimpse into ZZYCHI’s vision as a rapper. “This track is a pace-setter to show my fans the kind of rapper I am,” he shares. Eager to establish his unique voice, he hints that this single is just the beginning of more ambitious projects to come. His fans can look forward to a lineup of fresh sounds that will further showcase his versatility.

ZZYCHI is quick to clarify, however, that he’s not looking to confine himself to drill alone. “I don’t want to label myself as just a drill artist,” he says. “I’m versatile and plan to explore other genres, connecting with a broader audience.” He’s open to collaborations across various styles, aiming to grow his reach beyond drill aficionados to music lovers at large.

With “Judas” on the horizon, ZZYCHI is preparing to make his mark. His commitment to exploring new sounds and building connections within and beyond the hip-hop scene hints at an artist who is as dynamic as he is dedicated. As he sets the stage with this high-energy release, ZZYCHI is poised to take his journey from Qatar to Kenya and beyond, bringing his unique sound and message to audiences worldwide.
