From Juja’s creative corners to Kenya’s growing hip-hop stage, Alex Msafiri has been carving his lane with persistence and flair. Known as “Msaah with the Kenyan bandana,” he’s not just a rapper but also a songwriter and the founder of Teamsafiri East Africa, a collective he started back in 2016 while still on campus.
Since then, he has grown into a versatile artist, dropping projects like KAZI NA SALA and ALIEN. He has also teamed up with some of the top names in the game, consistently pushing his sound.
And while his name literally means “traveler,” in Swahili, Msafiri’s journey through music has been less about destinations and more about the connections he’s built along the way. This list highlights 10 of his most iconic collaborations, from studio to spotlight.
10. Vipi Wasee – Msafiri x Saisa Ndabi
Produced by: Jei-Bud
Released in 2024, this collab blended Msafiri’s sharp lyricism with Saisa Ndabi’s mellow side. The result was a banger that stood out for its raw storytelling and infectious hook.
“Vipi Wasee” quickly became a fan favorite and was featured in his KAZI NA SALA album.
Dropped in July 2025, “Jikaze Morio” sees Papi and Msafiri team up to deliver a powerful message: stay focused and keep grinding.
In the track, Msaah spits hard-hitting bars while Papi reflects on his come-up, crediting hustle for getting him out of the block.
The track is equal parts motivation and raw street energy.

Produced by: Beatkidd, STEVIE
“Relaax” wasn’t just another collab. It was a statement. After Sabato dismissed Msafiri’s talent following “Doc Sekete,” Msafiri fired back with this track. He rocks his trademark bandana and takes charge of the chorus.
Over the raw instrumental, BLVKE LUSEKA goes full hip-hop mode, oozing confidence in every line.
Shot on a football pitch at night, the visuals match the song’s vibe. For Msaah, it was both a clapback and a standout moment in his catalog.

However, the verses flip the narrative. Kata stands his ground, while Msaah closes the track with his own stylish response, blending emotion with sharp lyricism.
Takeaway: Tebu Niache highlights Msafiri’s versatility, showing he could thrive outside street anthems and adapt seamlessly to an R&B setting.

2. Doc Sekete – Scar Mkadinali x Msafiri x Saisa Ndabi
Produced by: –
Scar and Saisa are two of Msafiri’s most frequent collaborators, and “Doc Sekete” brought all three together. The track stirred some online talk after receiving criticism from a popular YouTuber, Sabato SYG, which ironically helped boost its traction.
The title is a playful nod to Dr. Ring Ding’s “the needle,” with “Doc” meaning doctor and “Sekete” translating to sex. That sets the tone for them to trade verses around the theme. The mix of Scar’s grit, Saisa’s smooth delivery, and Msafiri’s confidence made it a standout moment in his catalog.
Takeaway: Doc Sekete showed how Msafiri could thrive in high-profile collaborations, turning both hype and criticism into momentum.
