Genge music is a genre of hip-hop music with influences from dancehall, originating from Nairobi, Kenya in the 1990s.[1] The name was coined by the producer Clemo and popularized by Kenyan rappers Jua Cali and Nonini at Calif Records. It is commonly sung in Sheng, which is a mixture of words or phrases in Swahili, English and various local dialects. The term Genge comes from Sheng slang meaning "a group or a mass of people."
