Kenyan genge rapper and songwriter James Wathigo Mburu, known professionally as Jimwat, drops one of his most memorable singles titled “Under 18.”
RELATED: Juacali – kwaheri Ft Sana
In addition, the track was produced by renowned Kenyan producer Clemo under the iconic label Calif Records, and it helped cement Jimwat’s place in the Kenyan music scene.
Moreover, Jimwat has been one of the key voices of the Kenyan genge movement — blending hip-hop, Sheng and Swahili street-flavoured rap — making him one to watch in East Africa.
The song explores the realities and tensions of nightlife and youth culture in Nairobi — from club scenes, interactions with younger women, flashing IDs, to moral reflections about age and responsibility. Jimwat uses his sharp lyrics and local slang to portray a vivid snapshot of youthful recklessness and street commentary.

Eh, kumbe ni under 18?
Saa mi ningejuaje?
Eh, kumbe ni under 18?
Vyenye anapewa maji
Eh, kumbe ni under 18?
Sijui itakuwaje
Eh, kumbe ni under 18?
Nitambiaje jaji
