Dtx Teams Up With Buruklyn Boyz & Big Yasa For High-Energy Drill Track, “Swag So Fresh” Song Set For A 21st Feb Release

Kenyan super producer and songwriter DTX is back with a bang, dropping his latest record “Swag So Fresh” stylized as SSF, featuring Buruklyn Boyz and Big Yasa—a powerful collaboration that fuses high-energy drill with a feel-good, mainstream appeal. DTX’s versatility is evident in his previous works. He has previously experimented with pop, electronic, hip-hop, R&B, dancehall, afrobeat, trap, drill, dubstep, and EDM. This genre fluidity has seen him work with Kenyan finest acts like Bien, Chimano, Fancy Fingers, King Kaka, Savara, and Boutross.

Combining his expertise, Buruklyn Boyz, and Big Yasa’s culture-shaping skills, DTX has created music that not only represents two neighborhoods, Kibera (Number nane) and Buru Buru (route 58/Tano-nane) but also the Kenan urban culture. “Swag So Fresh” speaks to the urban youth conscious of their unique fashion sense.

“I've been a fan of Buruklyn Boyz since day one. They’re the OG drillers, pioneers of the sound in Kenya, so it only made sense to experiment with them on a fresh hip-hop wave. And Big Yasa? That’s the voice of the streets, the King of Namba 8. Together, we made a feel-good song that anyone can jam to.” — DTX.

Swag So Fresh is a celebration of Kenyan street culture and vibe that embraces the global drill movement. It gives music lovers a fresh Hip Hop anthem that appeals to diverse audiences.
