The shrap god himself is about to bless your playlists with that new new! This Saturday, AD Family's Boutross is dropping his new project, 6ixViewsII8k, at a mixtape launch set to take place at the Deep West Lounge.

The only thing that could possibly rival the features on this EP is the lineup at the mixtape launch.

If you're in the mood for a good laugh then make your way to Bao Box this Wednesday and join the Nairobi Comedy Club for the After Dark show.
'Our "After Dark" show is full of heartfelt comedic musings on the messiness of 'adulting' and tries to answer some of adulthood's most enduring and confusing questions (the key one being "am I supposed to know how to do this!?!" -- usually asked when KRA tells us to file tax returns!' -Nairobi Comedy Club
