Nameless - MEGARIDER - 1999 Original (Official Audio)

In 1999, David Mathenge (Monski) a university student who held a night shift job in a bank, made a call into Hits Not Homework. This was a show on Captial Fm hosted by Muthoni Bwika, who was at the time running a music talent competition.
To his surprise he won the competition, and because he was not well prepared, and didn't want to disclose his real identity for fear of being reprimanded by his employer, called himself "Nameless" when Muthoni asked him his name on air.
His prize was a chance to record a song with the top producer Ted Josiah, with whom he recorded his first single MEGARIDER.
For those who don't know, A Megarider was a bus ticket that gave frequent bus users a special discount in the 1990s and early 2000s (now you know! :-))
The song Megarider is a satirical song about this Nairobi campus student who tries to make the little that he has work for him. It talks about his challenges to focus in school, his challenges with girls, his love for fun & music, the pressures of society, his respect for his elders and alot more .

Written by David (Monski) Mathenge
Performed by Nameless
Produced by Ted josiah
background vocals by Wahu kagwi

Remix just came thru 2 decades later and for those of us who still remember when the original came out in 1999, im sure y'all agree that the original still reigns. There's just something about it. This is the first time i am seeing the lyrics and i gatta admit, Mathenge, for you to spit such bars back in 99, you is a legend! Remix is dope though.

[@CKomeza]

I love the remix but there’s something about the original that is just priceless !

[@ndungujovi6791]

I just remembered 20 years ago days in okongo block 8 I remember. I had a friend called Abos who was my neighbor too and he had a brother by the name ‘Ateacher’. Sounds fictional to remember those days tbh.
We also had an Irene kwa hiyo plot. If this post can reach out to you guys naweza taka kuona what life is like for you now. We are all in our 30^

[@this_is_africa]

I never knew about this song until today. This is dope, the sound back in those days resonate more than the sounds in today's music mostly. You really are one of the greats out of Kenya.
