Altè rap muse King Kerby is gearing for another scintillating music drop this Friday. The cut “Leeches” music visual off his upcoming ‘Saba Deluxe’ LP will be unveiled this Friday, May 24. Tapping Kenyan video director Mwau Matilu popularly known as The Retrogod as the visuals director, the music visuals are an immersion into detox according to Tilu.
“The vision I had was to show introspection” he admits. “I also wanted to bring in an idea of detoxing, hence some of the workout scenes. We made a video focused on just Kerby, alone in the video, a mix of wide picturesque shots and tight close-ups to bring solitude and loneliness.
This was to match the lyrics of the song,” Says The Retrogod. Watch the previous music video by King Kerby – ‘What You Want’ Ft. Rachael Kendi directed by The Retrogod.
Tilu has been one of Nairobi’s ascending visual purveyors and raconteurs associated with hypnotic colors, bespoke creativity, and pushing the boundaries in visual storytelling. The record “Leeches” is produced by South African beatsmith Zino D. Zino is revered for his eclectic production style, hailed for producing rapper Nasty C’s smash hit “SMA” featuring Rowlene.
King Kerby showcases his diversity with the sonic choice he adopts for this particular record. According to King Kerby A&R Philip Koth who is acclimated for his astounding work with Nairobi drill faction Buruklyn Boyz, he champions Kerby’s brazen style and ambition to try new sounds. “.
