SIZZLE ALERT ATEENtion! Check out what’s popping this week. The hottest track, dopest flick on the big screen, coolest accessories to rock and the top gizmo on our covet list
Now Inside
FACES BEHIND VOICES The radio industry is the fastest and most influential communication media in the country. However some of these voices we listen to, we can never put a face to or rather the face may not necessarily match the voice. We take a look at some of the most listened to radio gurus and the face that do not tell the same story
PLAY Pliz tell us you have watched Beyonce’s ‘Girl Run this World’ video. This lady be rocking it and the beats are just as sizzling. Watch it closely especially for the African dance styles she’s pulling coz I spotted a ‘kuku dance’ somewhere.
Movie
If you thought Hang Over I was funny then put on your seat belt coz Hang Over II is about to take you on laughter rollercoaster ride. The concept is the same so you are probably thinking *yawn yawn* but not until. Stu is getting married soon and of course there has to be a bachelor’s party. This time the ka-karate dude follows them to ‘Bangkok’. Hilarious!
Lil Mama in pink punk cap If you are a punk chic then you can never miss a punk cap to go with it. Punk caps are just the isht to be rocked with chunky chains and massive multicoloured wrist bands. To make it more hood, wear it inside a hoodie. Punkified!
TECH
Designed by an 18 year old Ben Gulak, the ‘Uno Electric Motorbike’ is a sassy eco friendly machine to have. It uses electrical charges, performs better than your average 500cc bike and get this; it rides on one wheel!
The weather is very chilly but you still need to look sizzling hot. It’s very simple, get a buttoned cardigan! Cardigans with front buttons are well served in a shirt or fitting tee. Throw in a pinch of colour or scarf to it and you have a ‘fight the weather’ meal. Enjoy!
TINA KAGIA Show: Mid morning Station: Classic 105 Profile: You might mistake her for a skool gal with her petite body and funky bob cut or freezy chunky hair but Tina’s authoritative and husky voice is what gets you glued to the radio. She is the young and enthusiastic young gal that transforms to this serious yet fan loving radio fictional character.
GLADYS GACHANJA Show: Early breakfast Station:Easy fm Profile: She is never fast in speech and takes everything a bit well. She sounds like the baby of the family but voices can be deceiving. She is very sassy and sexy and is not shy to flaunt it. Just check out her smoky posses when a lens strikes on her.
Adelle Onyango Show: one drive Station: one fm Profile: Her sharp voice will wake you up from a deep sleep. She sounds like a heckler, rowdy, cheeky gal. Only for her to be sweet and bubbly
MBUSII Show: Goteana show Station: ghetto radio Profile: Ghetto radio’s super star Mbusi is what gets you mad. He makes the silliest of comments and rants words like ‘mambo si mbrrr’ yet you still do not understand why you listen to him. His voice is that of your neighbor hood jobless corner that keeps whistling at all ladies who pass but on twist and turn he has the solemn look of a Boboshanti.
ROY NCHEERI Show: one drive Station: one fm Profile: His constant fights and arguments with Adelle on air definetly brand him a stubborn, rude dude! Shockingly, Roy is such a gentleman and shy.
NICK NDEDA Show: HOT BREAKFAST Station: HOT 96 FM Profile: His voice is crystal and sweet...too god for a dude! He is fun, bubbly on air with a unique personality. Nick sets the mood hot in the morning you’d think its party time. He is on the contrary a chilled out fella.

Who Does French Boy Think He Is? ns and for r artist from the duo group Historia He was one of the most sought afte Ogopa e thought that he was chased from a while he went under the water. Som date with Pan and with a bang. After an ice cream DeeJays Productions but he is back t he wanted his true fans to know… Sangwa a.k.a French Boy this is wha
W
hat? I was never chased from Ogopa. They are like family. All I wanted was a change. A change for a different sound. Working with other producers has helped me come out of my comfort zone. As an artist moving around is a good challenge coz it trains you to work under different conditions. I did not go ‘chini ya maji’ purposely. I was going through some family issues after I lost my mum and all .It was time for a breather. I just needed some time away to compose myself again. Of course it was hard especially with Swaleh away (that’s my boy
CABO SNOOP
I
vo Manuel a.k.a Cabo Snoop is just the sound you should be getting down to this very season. His album Bluetooth is already out, yeey! He features tracks like Prakatumba, Windek and Walalipo. Don’t you just love this guy’s dance moves. At only 21years of age, the Angolan has already scooped an award for MTV MAMA Awards and performed several big events including Big Brother Amplified. Get this, as a kid his nick name was ‘Nobody’. Look at him now…
so can every body stop saying we broke up). Swaleh had 2 go back 2 skool but we still tighter than tight and when he comes back from Malaysia will keep doing our thang as Historians! Ati Ray C is my chic? Yo, if anything I was her fan. I heard she was in town and I feel that whole taarab vibe, so I approached her and she loved my songs especially ‘Bouje’. We instantly clicked and decided to work on ‘Moto Moto’. I am currently working on my single album with awesome producers like Wawesh, RKay and Mandugu Digital so don’t fret coz French boy is back.

PSST: BEHIND THE CAMERA! S
ince gay and lesbo are the news filling our ears since the nomination of the CJs, a little birdie is flying news round the showbiz circle that a popular and fast rising news anchor has gone all lesbo on her pals. The said young, talented and beautiful anchor even cohabits with a female pal said to be out rightly lesbo and the dude in the relationship. They have been spotted enough times together looking all mushy. The plot thickens as a source reveals that it’s now a circle of news anchors (some on popular radios) forming a Lesbo Alliance and always hooking up for sleep over that a lot goes down!
some UK fast line fashion n all… bes’ believe!

Rapping to the bubbling sounds of Fanta
Of course there was a specific chocolate fudge cake with cream kept aside for the Sniper but this did not mean the lens was off the hoggists in the building. Ever been to a place where cake is too plenty that you consume too much of it until it reaches a place where you just stare at it? Yeah, this was what went down at the Splash Water world last weekend during this year’s version of the Annual Cake Festival. There were plenty of surprises as guys were treated to a variety of cakes of different sizes, colours and sizes in which it was hard to choose which the best
flavor is. Fashion was not amiss as dudes and dudettes came clad in their best outfits ready to rock the cool Saturday afternoon with their best swag. Celebs as were not left behind as big names like Ian Mugoya accompanied by his girlfriend (Keroche Industry CEO Tabitha Karanja’s daughter) were seen hand in hand, One FM’s Munene Mutune and later s Soccer Star Macdonald Mariga. Skoolaz were not left behind as chics from Statoe Girls could be seen winding up their afternoon as they sampled the different types of cakes as they danced to the music that rocked the venue.

SLANG CORNER
Ans wer B****
PULL THE TRIGGER!
Word: Fuez Meaning: Girl/Manzi Origin: Plains of Saints Yala As used in a sentence:
1. Have you seen how that fly fuez from Pangoe Gee looks good in skinny jeans? 2. Manze fuez wa Marto amebeat tu sana. Alikuwa amevaa sahara tukienda CHAT Awards jo!
Some Japanese scientist (Satoshi Kanazawa) did a research trying to prove Black chiqquittaz are uglier than those of other races while black dudes are hotter than other races. He also says it is weird that these fly Europeans and Asian honniez want to have big lips, do nose jobs, get figure 8 enhancers and get tans to look darker which are all African features. We hit up our face book republic and asked them for their take.
Ssup Bitch,
Dear Robert,
What exacatly is Rih tying to put across in her video ‘man down’? I think she is still hurting from the Breezy drama and killing Breezy in her head all the time or how else do you explain this psycho of late? I am really worried about her…soon it will be real suicide!
Your simplicity is really worrying me and I don’t associate myself with fashion-backward guys! Sorry, just won’t comment on this! Total disgrace to humanity. NEXT?

AB Hi Bitch,
AB
Why is Tahidi High so boring of late? I started watching it last week and dozed off completely. Don’t you think it’s about time they hanged the plot and say even the characters?
Hi Bitch,
Molly,
Dear Deno, YAAAAWWNN! Next?
What’s with the sudden trend of mamaz wearing lessos and African print? Am I the shady one here or fashion has totally gone bad? Some people just look like old women, it really sucks, puu! Robert
I'm gonna kick my feet up then stare at the fan Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants Nobody's gon' tell me I can't I'll be lounging on the couch just chilling in my Snuggie Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie 'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man Oh yes, I said it, I said it I said it 'cause I can Today I don't feel like doing anything I just wanna lay in my bed Don't feel like picking up my
Does your TV have only one station? Or do you want me to skool you on how to use your remote to switch channels? You would do us so much good if you dozed off and never woke up!
Isabelle Bockle Maybe he said that coz most Africans’ mentality is that being light skinned, having long hair and pink lips is what we call fly n beautiful; making many Africans opt for bleaching but he was right for one thing, black dudes tend 2 b hotter. In short, we are swayed by the celebrity life of make up. I do not need to look like Ashanti in a music video to be called fly. Nkt!
AB
Word Play Today I don't feel like doing anything I just wanna lay in my bed Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone 'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Dear Molly,
Connect George De Clinician Who knows! Brian Njiri I love my African honies. If black mamas are so ugly then why are all these white and Asian women spending tons of cash on plastic surgery to make themselves look better? I mean, the only celebs you hear going for these plastic surgery are; Angelina, Kim Kardashian, Jessica Simpson, etc (excep-
tion of Nicki Minaj he he he) African mamaz are all natural. Biko 'el Mahico' Nderitu If black women are so down, why is every other race tanning themselves trying to be black??? Musa Hussein I agree that black beauty but from history guys, why do black women try so hard? It makes their faces look cheap.
