Released as part of the promotional run for Virusi Mbaya’s 2026 studio album, “One Time” features production by TBM (Brain Teasing Movement) and was independently distributed through DistroKid. The official music video was directed by Khaligraph Jones and Sir Beka of Blu Ink Films.
Lyrically, “One Time” is an unapologetic declaration of self-belief and determination. The two rappers address artistic dominance, resilience, ambition, and the relentless grind required to establish yourself in Kenya’s demanding music industry, delivering confident verses packed with energy and attitude.
Musically, the track combines heavy boom-bap bass with hard-hitting drums, rapid-fire flows, aggressive cadences, and gritty Swahili lyricism. The contrast between Virusi Mbaya’s raw street delivery and Khaligraph Jones’ powerful presence gives “One Time” the feel of a true Kenyan rap heavyweight collaboration.
