Kenyan rising star Dan Mutinda, professionally known as Danski delivers his highly anticipated five-track project, In the Beginning. Known for making nightlife jams and hustle anthems, Danski brings his signature energy to his debut body of work, making a bold entry into the music industry.

The title In the Beginning, suggests a fresh start, marking Danski’s official entry into the game with a body of work that showcases his versatility, lyrical prowess, and ability to bring out the best in his collaborators.

Right from the opening track Baddie, it's clear that he means business. With a hard-hitting beat, layered with chord synths, Danski creates the perfect foundation for an explosive delivery. Featuring Silverstone Barz and YVNG Wave who match his energy, the track seamlessly transitions between local language and English, setting a strong tone for an engaging project.

Listeners don’t get a break as Bamba, featuring Savinnah, comes in immediately. It's an infectious dancehall-driven club banger. The beat immediately pulls listeners into a different dimension, where the only thing that matters is the rhythm. It’s an uptempo track that asks for movement, a testament to Danski’s ability to craft songs that resonate with party lovers.

As the energy peaks, Danski changes things on the third track with Miss Independent. A slower, more melodic dancehall tune featuring YBW Smith and Lilmaina. This track demonstrates his versatility, showing that he can effortlessly transition between genres and tempos without losing his touch. The collaboration works effortlessly, blending smooth vocals and dancehall elements into the record.

On Tutamake It, the fourth track, reminiscent of melodic chords, immediately captures attention. Danski and 4Mr Frank White take turns trading verses in English and Kiswahili, showing the chemistry between the two artists. Paired with the dynamic production, this makes it a compelling track that listeners will have to go back to.

Closing the EP is Fresh, featuring YBW Smith and Lilmaina. The three-man rap session is a lyrical showcase, with each artist bringing their A-game over a slick beat. It’s a strong finish to a project that keeps the energy high from start to end.
