The long-awaited return of Gengetone has been announced by Ethic Entertainment, which is terrific news for fans of their music.
The band, which was once among Kenya's most extensive musical sensations, broke up due to internal problems.
However, during a recent interview on Radio Maisha, the three surviving members—Swat, Seska, and Zilla—revealed their intentions to stage a significant comeback in August.
Ethic Entertainment rose to fame with their catchy beats and unvarnished lyrics that connected with the youth and attracted a sizable audience.
Despite their success, the group experienced internal problems, resulting in Rekless leaving the organization.

The group members responded simply when asked about Rekless's absence from the interview: "We are here to speak about the music industry; concerning Rekless, that is a tale for another day. We are the only three together.
Ethic Entertainment, renowned for speaking in street slang, claimed the activities and discussions of young Kenyans inspire them.
Because of how their generation is portrayed in their music, fans of all ages may relate to them.
"The youths are free to speak however they want, even on our streets. We can communicate and comprehend one another with both young and old folks. That describes our generation, the group claimed.
The group's ardent admirer and comedian Chipukeezy recalled some remarkable memories from their early years.
He thought back to when he had an appointment with Ethic Entertainment and even offered to pay their bus fare, but they had not shown up.
"I sent Swat money so that we could meet them. I was with Jaguar and he wanted to meet them after their song, Lamba Lolo, became a big hit. He was an MP then and where we were, people were discussing and hating on the song," Chipukeezy said.
Lamba Lolo, the group's breakout single, received some criticism, but they persisted and even attracted the attention of world-renowned actor Will Smith, who made reference to them.
Chipukeezy, who expressed a sense of obligation to the gifted children, said supporting and mentoring them while they travelled was crucial.
He urged businesses to treat young talent equitably and not exclude them because of their age.
"Let us not give them 20k while we pay our older artistes more, they also have the talent and they need money to grow in the industry," he said.
