The Buruklyn Boyz is a hip hop crew led by Mr Right and Ajay who pride themselves in rapping what they live and in being the flag bearers of Kenya’s Drill music movement. They have more than 45,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
Since its launch, Radar has driven an increase in listening and furthered fan artist connections. As part of the programme, these artists will receive editorial, on-platform and off-platform support from Spotify to help broaden their respective fanbases. As part of its Global Hub launch, Spotify will prioritise the promotion of Radar playlists, Radar podcasts, Spotify Singles, and priority releases from Radar artists across all regions.
