Kenyan music giants Calvo Mistari and Naiboi are back with a bang in 2025, reigniting the local music scene with their latest collaboration, “Rudisha.” The track brings together a mix of seasoned expertise and fresh energy, giving fans a taste of what’s to come in the duo’s evolving musical journey.
In a recent statement, Calvo Mistari expressed his excitement about working with Naiboi, a long-time collaborator. “I have worked with my Bobby for a pretty long time and our projects are always a breeze because we have developed a genuine brotherly relationship since we connected,” he shared. This strong camaraderie between the two artists is evident in the seamless blend of their styles throughout the song.
However, this collaboration also introduced a new dynamic with the inclusion of Zzero Sufuri, a rising star who brought a unique vibe to the track. “With Zzero it was a new experience,” Calvo Mistari continued. “I bumped into him in the studio. Dillie played him the song, which he vibed to, and dropped a verse. Bobby heard of it too and jumped on it without hesitation.” The spontaneous nature of this collaboration showcases the creativity and adaptability that has always been at the heart of their musical process.
For Naiboi, “Rudisha” serves not only as a new release but also as a tribute to Nairobi’s emerging talent. He says, “I always wanted to connect with younger artists at home and merge my sound with theirs, and this is a perfect start.” The track thus marks a turning point, as Naiboi seeks to mentor and collaborate with fresh talent, pushing the boundaries of what the Kenyan music scene can offer.
The music video, produced by Callivan Creatives and Team Mistari, enhances the track’s rhythm and flow. Directed by VJ One, the visual experience is a perfect accompaniment to the song, blending creative energy with stunning visuals that reflect the dynamic collaboration between these artists.
This release is more than just a new track—it’s the beginning of a new chapter for Calvo Mistari and Naiboi. As they gear up to release more projects with new sounds in 2025, the pair is set to make waves in the Kenyan music industry. With “Rudisha,” they’re not only reconnecting with their loyal fanbase but also setting the stage for a fresh era of innovation and creativity in the local music scene. Fans can expect back-to-back releases that promise to showcase the duo’s musical growth and rebranding in the months to come.
