Octopizzo releases Volume 2 of his Live Band Experience album

You cannot talk of hip-hop in Kenya and fail to mention the name of Henry Ohanga alias Octopizzo who is one of the names flying the genre's flag high with his punchy and rhyming effects in his releases.

The rapper has just released Volume 2 of his Live Band Experience album. Vol. 1 was released in 2020 and featured 11 tracks.

The two albums are a collection of the rapper performing his hit songs live and with a band as his backup.

Live Band, Vol. 2 contains live versions of some of his major hits Vile Inafaa, Ivo Ivo Ivo and Bank Otuch.

The track list also features Black DANTE, Good Morning Africa, Fashion, Diplomatic, Babylon, TBT, Oliel, Noma Ni, Something For You, Dungu Live and Prezidential.

Given his body of work - having already released six studio albums since 2014 - and how his fans have received the collection, Octo is likely to drop a third volume in the series.
