Featured Song:

“Chali Wa Mtaa,” meaning “guy from the neighborhood,” is a playful love song that values sincerity over appearances. Flier teases his love interest with lines like “If there’s someone else, just tell me / My pride won’t let me stand in line for your love like a fool,” and “You’ve tried the rich guys and the nice guys / Try the guy from the neighborhood.”Later he confesses, “There are so many girls in the world, a million, billion, but I want you / None of them radiate love like you.” Set to a smooth Afropop groove with airy synths and lilting percussion, the song captures the warmth of simple, genuine affection.
