Produced by G Brown Monster, Shemeji was written and composed by Byamungu Rodin (Founder Tz), with distribution handled through Ziiki Media and Virgin Music Group.
Unlike some of Founder Tz’s more serious, advice-driven records, Shemeji approaches relationship and family conflict with a lighter but still meaningful storytelling style. The song revolves around a man who has grown tired of repeatedly mediating disagreements between a couple who cannot seem to understand each other.
Throughout the track, Founder Tz addresses constant arguments, silent treatment, and the dangers of allowing relationship disputes to escalate into physical violence. Eventually, he decides to set boundaries, making it clear that he no longer wants to be dragged into the couple’s recurring problems.
Blending relatable Swahili storytelling with an energetic Bongo Flava sound, Shemeji captures the humor, frustration, and uncomfortable realities that can arise when relatives become involved in someone else’s relationship.

“Mbona imejirudia jana hampatani,
hamwelewani… na mnavyonuniana…
Sije siku twafika mkachapa na vibao vibao…
ukiona umemchoka we mrudishe kwao…
Na mkigombana siingilii tena leo,
mwanzo na mwisho sishughuliki tena…”
