Renowned Kenyan rap acts Calvo Mistari and Naiboi are back in top form with their latest banger Rudisha, a collaboration featuring Bobby Mapesa and Zzero Sufuri.
The song is a perfect meet-up of hip-hop and Kenyan pop, produced by iconic Kenyan music producer Dillie. It’s a perfect party starter embodying the unmatched spirit of Kenya’s 254 party scene.
Regarding the collaboration, Calvo expressed his admiration for his counterparts saying: “I have worked with my Bobby for a pretty long time and our projects are always a breeze because we have developed a genuine brotherly relationship since we connected.
“With Zzero it was a new experience, as I bumped into him in the studio. Dillie played him the song which he vibed to and dropped a verse. Bobby heard of it too and jumped on it without hesitation.”
While the new track has reconnected Calvo Mistari and Naiboi with their loyal fan base, Naiboi feels like it’s their way of paving the way and paying tribute to Nairobi’s young artistes and rising stars.
“I always wanted to connect with younger artistes at home and merge my sound with theirs and this is a perfect start,” he says.
The release is accompanied by an attractive music video that matches the track’s rhythm and flow.

The video was produced by Callivan Creatives and Team Mistari. They partnered with VJ One as a director and his directorial expertise combined with Calvo and Naiboi’s creative vision has resulted in a visual masterpiece that complements the song.
Following their last music collaboration in 2021, Rudisha jumpstarts a new chapter in their music career as they push the boundaries of their craft.
Calvo says, “This year Naiboi and I are gearing up to release back-to-back projects with new sounds. We are currently buzzing with loads of new music so stay tuned to watch the growth and rebrand in the music industry.”
