TOXIC LYRIKALI AND THE BURUKLYN BOYZ' BEEF




The tension between Buruklyn Boyz, Toxic Lyrikali, and 34 Brick hasn’t just lived in studio booths and diss tracks - it has spilled into the streets, turning music rivalry into real-life chaos.

 When Bars Turn Into Battles

It all started with the release of "Dumpsite" by Toxic Lyrikali accusing the Buruklyn Boyz of biting his style. The Buruklyn Boyz replied with the diss track "Stima” - a diss track fired by Buruklyn Boyz, aimed directly at Toxic Lyrikali and 34 Brick. The beat dropped, the shots were lyrical… but the aftermath wasn’t just streams and reactions.

By Sunday evening, the air was already thick with tension. Crews aligned. Pride bruised. The 1960 Crew alongside 34 Brick reportedly pulled up on Buruklyn Boyz - and what followed wasn’t a cypher. It was kicks, blows, and raw confrontation. The element of surprise tilted the night into violence.

But the story didn’t end there.

Monday came with retaliation. This time, it was Buruklyn Boyz stepping into Donholm - not with microphones, but with anger. The streets turned chaotic. Property was destroyed. Sirens echoed. Police intervention became the final verse of that chapter. 



From Rap Beef to Real Consequences

What began as competition - a core pillar of Hip Hop culture - risked crossing into something darker. Hip Hop has always thrived on rivalry. From lyrical warfare to competitive dominance, beef has built legends. But when it shifts from the booth to the block, the stakes change.

This isn’t just about artists anymore - it’s about fans, neighborhoods, and a culture that young people look up to.

Voices Calling for Peace

Fashion designer Ali Abdi (formerly known as Nairobi West Niccur) and comedian Mluo have stepped forward, urging Toxic Lyrikali and Buruklyn Boyz to dial back the violence and instead promote peace among their followers.

Their message is clear: If it’s beef - let it stay on wax.

Hip Hop Is Competition - Not Combat

Diss tracks? Allowed. Bar-for-bar clashes? Encouraged. Street violence? That’s where the culture loses.

Kenyan Hip Hop is growing. The energy, the hunger, the raw talent - it’s cinematic on its own. But the real legacy won’t be built on chaos. It’ll be built on skill, creativity, and who truly has the strongest pen.

Let the battle remain in the booth. Let the streets breathe.

Because when the music stops and the sirens start, nobody wins.

KENYA BATTLE RAP

Image
Battle rap in Kenya didn’t just appear - it evolved from raw street energy into a movement waiting to explode. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, pioneers like Kama (Kalamashaka) and Abass (Ksouth), were already sharpening lyrical swords in competitive rap battles. This was before leagues - just bars, pride, and reputation. By the mid-2000s, the culture found a louder microphone. Mwafrika turned up the heat on Y-FM’s The Joint, hosting rap battles during “Hip Hop Nights” at the then Chillers Club on Koinange Street. Hungry MCs like Johny and Dream (of Span One) stepped in to arwna to prove who really had the sharpest pen. Then came WAPI - powered by Budda Blaze - a breeding ground where future heavyweights like Octopizzo, Khaligraph Jones, King Kaka, and the late Briphil sharpened their craft in lyrical combat. The torch kept moving. 254 Rap League (founded by Ondu the Street Lawyer), Hiphop Garage (by Muli, Kalimani & Xcalibur), and Wise Guy Entertainment pushed structured battle ...
