Maandy and Breeder LW have undeniable chemistry. Since they first linked up on “CHACHISHA” in 2019, it was cast in stone that would not be the last time they would work together. The chemistry even stirred dating rumors, which Maandy cleared on the Trend with Amina.
The duo has collaborated countless times, the two most recent being “Violence,” off Breeder’s third studio album, Midas Touch, and “Mbichi.”
In her EP released on December 31, 2023, Maandy featured Big Baba on two songs, “How Come” and “Mbichi,” for which they have released a brand new music video.
In “Mbichi,” Maandy takes fans down memory lane to her childhood in Dagoretti.
She reminisces about her daily commute on public transport buses, also known as “nganyas” in sheng (Swahili slang). The “nganya’s” would play music mixes hosted by famous MCs John Maina, a.k.a. MC Fullstop (RIP) and Super Marcus.
Directed by Galy Gomit, the music video begins with Maandy and video vixens with tractors in the background, followed by a scene where two people are playing chess. The video then transitions scenes featuring dancers and Maandy and Breeder LW rapping by a “nganya” door.
These add a unique touch to the video and showcase the vibrant culture of Nairobi. The music video is a well-crafted piece of art.
In the opening verse, Maandy raps;
Ni kaa tuko F2 nditni, Finas
Super Marcus tubebe kama miracle za Jesus
John Maina, Theka Theka, massive
Kamzozo kazoze, matawi ni organic
Breeder comes clutch with the second verse, shunning boarding old nganyas and ridiculing them by comparing them to lorries.
Maandy has been teasing the music video throughout the week and finally giving her fans a gift to end the month. On Wednesday (January 24), she posted a video snippet, further pushing the anticipation from fans with the caption,
“So FRIDAY 10 am we close this chapter in style 🔥🔥 Hii ni ya wasee wa Mtaa 🔥 Wasee wa uptown wale wajanja 🔥🔥 wasee hawapandi nganya ka si #MBICHI 🔥🔥🎶 Tupatane YouTube 🔥🔥
