Master Manondo by Fredrick Mulla

‘Master Manondo’ EP is undeniably an indication of Fredrick Mulla's physical, mental, and spiritual advancement. His approach at different depths within Afrocentric musical sensibilities and overall outlook at life as an entertainer and creative entrepreneur puts him on the flipside of the usually regurgitated narrative that has been the norm in African continent’s Urban HipHop circles. Mulla has graduated from simply rhyming and reasoning to exploring the bigger picture in his craftsmanship and penmanship.

Many people are afraid of change as a result of the demands it has on an individual, challenging us to elevate from our comfort zones. We are urged to embrace the unknown/uncommon/unexplored/unexplored/unexpected. By inculcating discipline, resilience, and self motivation in whatever field, this EP edutains us, inspiring whoever will come across it to keep on moving forward overcoming obstacles towards a better future.

In order to realize his ultimate creative milestone Mulla takes us through a different lens of how to maneuver life in Nairobi as an aspiring creative entrepreneur and musician in ‘Pesa’, reminds us about how our interactions as human beings have changed overtime in ‘Rafiki’, brags of his career achievements and enviable position in ‘Masta Manondo’ that features the celebrated Owuor Arunga on trumpet and brass, the groovy yet emphatic ‘Mwasemaje’ that has ‘Umoja Sounds’ lending in additional vocals, and the finisher ‘Good Time’, a banger that reminds us to remember to enjoy life in spite of its day to day challenges and shortcomings and be positive while facing them.

Overall, ‘Masta Manondo’ is a great way for fans and listeners to indulge in Fredrick Mulla’s current journey as an artist, while celebrating what has been achieved this far musically, physically, and philosophically. Simply great art.
