Maux 2005 is a thumping band with a compilation of Kenyan Hiphop,Benga and rhythmic flavas .This bandis produced by Jon+Son and features many artists who each bring a different style and colour.The album starts with the rap track 1STRAP done by Ojay and then moves to Mabeste a beat thumping track that threatens to leave you speechless.Marilyn moves u to tears with her gospel rendition and personal composition Take away my pain.Katikata a kapuka track reminds you of your younger days while the playful tunaimba tunacheza track keeps you asking for more.Pwani a definate classic will take you down coastal Kenya where Mjomba will entice you thoroughly with hi soothing lyrics.Ushago a most interesting track is a satirical comical explanation of most rural urban migrations.The album is suitably closed by Ojay with the track we give thanks.
The album is scheduled to be release on 30th july in Nairobi and will be available on the internet at 14 USD or 1 USD per track.
Maux was formed in december 2001 right after julius ojakaa and John Karanja had finished highscool.We then proceeded to record our first track which is called first rap.Mjomba joined in february of 2002 and also began recording some tracks at my crib(jon+son)Studio.The band has since performed in Coast and Nairobi.
Yes we do play live and we do many charity shows in Nairobi.
