Genes1s – Ukileta feat. YBW Smith

“Ukileta,” the final single from Genes1’s highly anticipated album Almost There, stands as a bold sonic and visual milestone in the artist’s evolving journey. Featuring Ybw Smith, a trailblazer in the Arbantone scene the track merges Afro-fusion energy with urban street rhythm, capturing the pulse of contemporary Kenyan music.

Produced by the legendary Soundkraft, Ukileta blends hypnotic kapuka drums, rich instrumentation, and an infectious chorus to create a track that is both commercially compelling and emotionally layered. Lyrically, it explores romantic tension and anticipation through clever Swahili lyricism and strong vocal chemistry between Genes1s and Ybw Smith.

Although Ybw Smith could not appear in the music video due to scheduling conflicts, the visuals remain striking, thanks to celebrated director Wango, whose cinematic vision brings the song to life with energy and depth.
As the final single before the album’s release, Ukileta encapsulates Genes1’s versatility and ambition , poised to dominate charts and spark conversations across Kenya’s music landscape.

Lakini nikicome usiwaste my time

Nivenye nakudai mi najua we ni mine
Ju niko mangwai mi najua huwezi mind
Ni Kama this time nimeangukia ki wife
Money over drama kila Siku tunacount
Anataka bag kila Siku ni kuclout
Life Jo ni math anaact kama clown
Anaact kama clown
