Kenyan rapper Bmixx KE has reached the two-year mark for The X Vibes, a four-track EP that captures his movement between melodic singing and harder rap performances.
Released on September 19, 2024, the project arrived one year after his album The Throne and reflected a period in which he was balancing rap with melody, drawing on his Nairobi background and wider contemporary African music influences.
Tracklist and guest appearances#
- Tell Me What You Want: a softer love song in which Bmixx KE sings about relationships and asks a partner what she wants.
- Not The Usual: keeps the mellow mood and features Nigerian rapper Kushy Kush; the two explore relationships and connection with their partners.
- AY: shifts to a more rap-focused performance that highlights his versatility and flow.
- The Masseuse: features rapper Danytox Intronix and returns to a harder rap sound, with both artists delivering verses over the production.
Production on the EP is credited to HR The Messenger and Jazzybeats.
Artistic direction and catalogue#
Bmixx KE’s music combines Swahili and English, and his work in acting and creative direction has shaped his approach to music and visuals.
The four-track project moves between melodic songs, collaborations and straight rap performances, reflecting his broader method of blending different elements of his artistry.
Two years after its release, The X Vibes remains part of his growing catalogue as he continues to develop his sound and identity within Kenya’s music scene.
His work beyond music, including creative direction and acting, informs his visual presentation and performances, leading him to treat releases as more than recordings by placing emphasis on music, visuals and overall presentation.
