As pioneers of the Gengetone movement, Ethic Entertainment continues to push boundaries and redefine the sound of Kenyan music.

With Amigos, they invite listeners to join them on a journey filled with energy, creativity, and the unmistakable spirit of Gengetone.

Ethic Entertainment, that comprises four male members – Rekless, Swat, Seska, and Zilla – emerged as one of the biggest music crews in Kenya in 2019. However, the group’s success was short-lived.

In a recent interview with Buzz Central, Ethic’s manager, Allen Igatanyi, shed light on the reasons behind the crew’s breakup after releasing only a few songs.

According to Igatanyi, Ethic Entertainment faced internal issues that ultimately led to their disbandment.

“They had personal issues and lacked consistent agreements. It’s like in football, where the goalkeeper is the key person in the team. If the goalkeeper is not there, you will not score any goals. I was the coach,” Igatanyi explained.

Igatanyi revealed that when Rekless decided to pursue a solo career, it became challenging for the other members to continue as a group.

“The one who was the most likable person, the one who had the numbers, was Swat. However, when fame got to his head, he started losing track. Then Rekless took over and decided to go solo. Without the group leaders, the rest of the members could not continue,” Igatanyi said.

“Rekless was very mature, to the point that managing him became difficult since he was even older than me,” Igatanyi further said.
