“SSF” Influence on Urban Culture and Working with Buruklyn Boyz & Big Yasa
DTX joined the trio to create a song which represents two Nairobi neighborhoods: Kibera (Namba nane) and Buruburu (route 58/Nane). “SSF” represents Kenyan urban culture and speaks to urban youth conscious of their unique fashion sense.
I’ve been a fan of Buruklyn Boyz since day one. They’re the OG drillers, pioneers of the sound in Kenya, so it only made sense to experiment with them on a fresh hip-hop wave. And Big Yasa? That’s the voice of the streets, the King of Namba 8. Together, we made a feel-good song that anyone can jam to

The song celebrates Kenyan street culture, tying in with a vibe that embraces the global Drill movement.
“SSF” gives music lovers a Hip-Hop anthem that appeals to diverse audiences. “Rap and drill can be pop too—it’s all about the emotions that you feed your listeners. For this project, Big Yasa and Buruklyn Boyz represent a mix of hard bars and mainstream appeal—They are a perfect fit for ‘Swag so fresh,” DTX added.
