Benzema, as part of Ochungulo Family, was a key contributor to the group’s success.
However, after the group’s breakup, he emerged as a solo artist and has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the Kenyan music scene.
While some may argue that he’s been struggling, Benzema has shown his versatility and talent as a solo artist through collaborations with Noti Flow in ‘Foto Moto’ and Sauti Sol’s Savara in ‘By-Pass.’ and more solo projects: what are the names of the rest of the Ochungulo family members again?
Despite facing criticism for some of his works as some see them as too explicit, ‘Potential,’ ‘Ngwatiology,’ ‘Pepeta,’ and ‘Freshy,’ Benzema continues to produce new and exciting music.
His latest release, ‘Mini Short Skirt, Skirt Top’ is a prime example of his artistic growth and creativity.
It’s time to give Benzema the recognition he deserves, as he has proved to be a talented and resilient artist in his own right.
Benzema is not a struggling solo artist.
