When King Kaka talks about growth, he reaches for an unusual comparison. He likens life to the evolution of the iPhone.
“There was an iPhone 1 and fast forward to the latest version. And each has distinct features that make people move to the next one. I’m also growing as a human being. The lessons I’ve gathered over the years have shaped a different version of me."
It is this idea of evolution that sits at the heart of Year of the Pen, Kaka’s newly released 13-track album and his first full studio project in several years.
The album represents a renewed creative chapter for one of Kenya’s most respected hip-hop artistes, a man whose career has been built on sharp writing, storytelling and an ability to reflect the realities of everyday life.
