Singer Vallerie Muthoni Releases New Collab With Lil Maina And Kahvinya

Renowned Kenyan musician Vallerie Muthoni, better known as Brown Suga, is thrilled to announce her latest release, Shake.

This electrifying dance anthem seamlessly blends hip-hop, riddim, dancehall, and gengetone.

With its pulsating beats and irresistible energy, Shake channels the confident swagger of Lil Maina and the vibrant flair of emerging Kenyan pop star Kahvinya. This track is a high-energy celebration, crafted for dance floors, street corners, and any space where movement is the main event. “It’s got that winning combination — an unforgettable hook, powerful verses, melodies that stick, and a beat you can’t help but move to,” says Vallerie Muthoni.

What sets Shake apart is Vallerie’s fearless approach to genre fusion. The artist sees genres not as separate entities, but as interwoven elements that can create something fresh and exciting. “This track is all about turning up and having a good time,” she shares. “It reminds you that no matter who you are or where you come from, in that moment, you can just be present and enjoy life in your own way.”

The roots of Shake go back to 2020, when gengetone was in the spotlight. Yet, Vallerie Muthoni knew this song wasn’t ready for release until now. With beats crafted by production duo Pesos and Dencho, and additional co-production from Awe Killer — the team behind her EP Vision 2020 — Shake was kept under wraps until the perfect moment. “I knew it needed to wait,” she explains. “But it’s finally time to share it with the world.” Partnering with Lil Maina and Kahvinya brought the track to life, proving that good things come to those who wait.

Vallerie’s journey in music began in 2017 with her debut single, a collaboration with her school friend Mbithi. Her unique blend of rap and singing quickly made her a standout, leading to her inclusion in Homeboyz’s Jumpoff Freshman Class of 2018, where she was the only female artist. She followed up with two EPs, The Wavy Soul (2018) and Pisces SZN (2019), showcasing her adaptability and genre versatility. After a period of introspection and development, Vallerie re-emerged with Vision 2020, a project that signaled her triumphant return to the scene.

Now, with Shake hitting the airwaves, Vallerie is ready to take her music on the road. She’s planning a tour to promote Vision 2020, bringing her powerful performances to audiences across Africa and beyond. Fans can also expect more visually captivating music videos and collaborations with the best of Africa’s music talent.

With Shake, Vallerie Muthoni is poised to take her place as a key figure in the genre-fluid movement, proving that she’s not just a trendsetter but a true trailblazer in the world of African music.
