DTX Joins Forces with Buruklyn Boyz & Big Yasa for High-Energy Drill Anthem, “Swag So Fresh”
Kenyan music producer and songwriter DTX has released a new single, “Swag So Fresh,” SSF featuring Buruklyn Boyz and Big Yasa. The collaboration fuses high-octane Drill and feel-good mainstream vibes.
Known for his range and versatility, DTX has experimented with different sounds, such as Pop, Electronic, Hip-hop, R&B, Dancehall, Afrobeat, Trap, Drill, Dubstep, and EDM.
This has seen him work with some of Kenya’s biggest artists, such as Bien, Chimano, Fancy Fingers, King Kaka, Savara, Boutross, and many more.
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.
Since DTX began teasing the song on social media before its release, it has garnered much attention and hundreds of thousands of views. In the future, DTX will continue to create timeless music with chart-topping Kenyan acts, further exploring his production and songwriting talents.
“Swag so fresh” is his first project in 2025, following his Sauti Sol-featured “High,” which caught the attention of many music lovers. DTX promises to release more music with other talented artists throughout the year.
DTX, whose real name is Derrick Gaitara, is a Kenyan music producer and songwriter who has been active in the music industry for over ten years.
DTX produced the solo debut albums of Sauti Sol members Chimano’s Heavy is the Crown and Savara’s Savage Level.
The albums departed from Sauti Sol’s usual sound, and DTX was praised for his ability to bring a fresh perspective to the group’s music.
