Wakadinali & Sauti Sol Drop “Voice of the Ghetto” – A Raw, Conscious Anthem for the Streets

Kenya’s hip-hop heavyweights Wakadinali have joined forces with Afro-pop royalty Sauti Sol for a powerful new track titled “Voice of the Ghetto” — a gritty, conscious anthem that blends raw street poetry with soul-stirring vocals and political commentary.
Released just 24 hours ago, the track is already trending across Kenyan Twitter and East African music blogs, sparking discussions about social inequality, urban youth struggles, and the power of music as a tool for awakening.
“Voice of the Ghetto” delivers a unique sonic fusion — Wakadinali’s hard-hitting bars and underground drill flows meet Sauti Sol’s signature harmonies and rich instrumentation. The result is a reflective yet rebellious anthem that captures the pulse of Nairobi’s streets and beyond.
The accompanying music video, shot in Kibera and Mathare, features symbolic visuals of daily urban life, protests, and youth resilience. Fans and critics alike are praising the song not just as a collaboration, but as a movement.
In a joint statement, both groups shared:
> “We wanted to make something real. Something that speaks for the people who are often unheard. ‘Voice of the Ghetto’ is for every young African dreaming big in a system that tries to hold them back.”


The collaboration marks a bold shift for Sauti Sol, who are known for their romantic and melodic hits. For Wakadinali, it’s a continuation of their raw, no-filter storytelling that has earned them a cult following across East Africa.
Reactions online have been overwhelmingly positive. One fan tweeted:
> “This is bigger than a song. It’s a message. Wakadinali x Sauti Sol = power.”


With the track climbing charts and gaining traction across Spotify, Boomplay, and Apple Music, "Voice of the Ghetto" is shaping up to be one of the most socially relevant releases of 2025.
