  • Gender Dimensions in Emerging African Music Genres: a Case of Kenyan Local Hip Hop
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 24, Issue 5, Ser. 9 (May. 2019) 54-61 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Gender Dimensions in Emerging African Music Genres: A Case of Kenyan Local Hip Hop Pamela N.Wanjala Shamberere Technical Training Institute P.o Box 1316, Kakamega, Kenya Abstract: The question of gender bias is now seen as a major challenge in almost every discipline that deals with human behavior, cognition, institutions, society and culture. Therefore, this paper was an attempt to investigate gender dimensions in the emerging African genres; a case study of local hip hop songs in Kenya. It discussed the extent to which hip hop language is gender biased. It focused on the popular local hip hop songs and video images that occur with the songs. The study used the Social Semiotic Theory in the theoretical framework. Ten hip hop songs and ten video excerpts were purposively selected for analysis. The hip hop songs were coded according to the name of the artist and year of production. The data was analyzed under three sections: Linguistic analysis, Image analysis and Gender analysis. The study revealed that indeed there is gender bias in the language of the favourite youth culture. This was revealed in the lexis that distinguishes gender, in the syntactic analysis and also in the image analysis. It was found that in hip hop music, men tend to be regarded higher in terms of roles, occupation and general human traits like strength and control than women. The study therefore recommends that radio and television stations, and other advertising agencies should join the battle for women liberation by using gender sensitive language and focusing on positive and constructive societal changes in terms of gender roles.

  • 17 Verbal Fluidities and Masculine Anxieties of the Glocal Urban
    17 Verbal Fluidities and Masculine Anxieties of the Glocal Urban Imaginary in Kenyan Genge Rap1 Chris Wasike Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology This chapter tracks the emergence of a rap genre dubbed ‘genge’ rendered in sheng- an urban slang which is a mixture of Swahili, English and other local dialects. Positioning genge within the milieu of cultural expressions that give voice to marginalized urban youths, the article examines how several genge rappers appropriate urban spaces, delineate them as sites of masculine domination, contestation and urban cosmopolitanism within the larger glocal imaginary desires. The analysis uses lyrics of songs by Jua Cali, Nonini and others, to illustrate how their deployment of poetic lyricism romanticizes the Nairobi city spaces as melting pots of masculine fears, tensions and anxieties. Key words: genge rap, urban slang, identity, masculine domination, cosmopolitanism, Nairobi Introduction: Popular Culture in the Kenya Context Riding on the crest of his recent crown as the ‘undisputed king’ of genge, Jua Cali (real name Peter Anunda) is one of Kenya’s foremost artistes in the now popular, rapid genre of hard core rap. His lyrical personality and the genre of music he produces have continued to endear him to party-loving youths and a huge chunk of young adults. In this essay, I argue that Jua Cali’s genge rap style is not just fluid but is inundated with discourses of ur- ban masculinities and anxieties of the glocal urban imaginaries. In addition, the style and thematic preoccupation in his songs appears to be subtended by desires of the American dream which situates this localized version of hard core rap within the binarity of local and global, or simply glocal.

  • Kenyan Hip-Hop Artists' Theories of Multilingualism, Identity And
    “HATUCHEKI NA WATU”: KENYAN HIP-HOP ARTISTS’ THEORIES OF MULTILINGUALISM, IDENTITY AND DECOLONIALITY By Esther Milu A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Rhetoric and Writing - Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT “HATUCHEKI NA WATU”: KENYAN HIP-HOP ARTISTS’ THEORIES OF MULTILINGUALISM, IDENTITY AND DECOLONIALITY By Esther Milu This is a qualitative research study that constellates several theoretical and methodological approaches to understand why and how three Kenyan Hip-hop artists, Jua Cali, Nazizi Hirji and Abbas Kubbaff, engage in translingual communicative practices. A variety of data types including in-depth phenomenologial interviews, lyrical content and multimodal compositions were evaluated to understand how and why the artists used particular linguistic and semiotic resources in composing their texts and in their everyday communication. A translingual analytical framework was applied to examine these resources across various modalities of communication: verbal, written, audio, visual, performative and embodied. Findings from the study indicate that the artists translingual practices are aimed at : 1) constructing various ethnicities and indentities based on their everyday language use and not on dominant language ideologies or theories of race and ethnicity in the country; 2) engaging in language activism work by raising critical language awareness within dominant institutions, and by actively participating in the preservation of youth languages and cultures; 3) theozing and practicing diverse options for cultural and linguistic decolonization. The study concludes by proposing a translingual pedagogy that challenges students to demonstrate critical awareness of the “linguistic culture” surrounding the languages, codes and symbolic practices they use in their translingual composing.

As a counterpoint to this dominating presentism in current hip-hop scholarship, my project analyzes how the mythological figures of the trickster and the badman, key characters in numerous African-American traditional narratives, have dramatically influenced the modes through which authenticity and notions of communal agency have shaped hip-hop in the United States, France, and Kenya.
