Mejja marked a new chapter in his career at an exclusive listening party, unveiling his long-awaited debut album Mtoto wa Khadija to a carefully selected crowd of creatives at EABL’s Microbrewery in Nairobi.

The intimate event brought together some of the industry’s most recognisable faces, including MC Azeezah Hashim, DJ Gibbz Tha Daqchild, Breeder LW, Ndovu Kuu, Fathermoh, legendary music producer Musyoka, Boutross among others. Nadia Mukami took to the stage to perform Confidence, her collaboration with Mejja off the new album, giving the room a live taste of what is coming. 

The album’s 13-track listing tells the story of an artist pulling from every corner of his world. It opens with Toxic featuring Shee, moves through Ntampata Wapi with Jay Melody, Kale Ka Uoga with Scar Mkadinali and Manifest with Toxic Lyrikali. Mboka and Mmea sit at the heart of the project before Mental, a standout collaboration with Khaligraph Jones. The album also features Naskia (Ooh) with Dyana Cods, Lambo with Moha and Madeh, Siaka with Fik Fameic and closes with Vulai alongside Ndovu Kuu and Zzero Sufuri.

“This album is very personal to me. It represents growth, not just as an artist, but as a person. I’ve taken time to craft something that reflects where I am right now. Having people experience it for the first time in a room like this, feeling the energy together, that means everything,” Mejja said at the event.

The listening party was held in partnership with Captain Morgan. “This listening party was not just about music, it was about bringing together culture, community and creativity in an authentic way. We are proud to walk this journey with him as he unveils this new chapter,” said Victor Adada, Brand Manager for Captain Morgan.

The album is available on major streaming platforms.
