Bien has spent two decades shaping African music as the voice of Sauti Sol, one of the continent’s most celebrated bands. After years of global recognition, a GRAMMY win, and countless tours, he chose to embark on a solo journey. In 2023, he introduced fans to his own voice with the debut album Alusa, Why Are You Topless?, setting a new course for his career.
In July, Bien released “All My Enemies Are Suffering,” a track that bridges Afro-Gospel and celebratory Highlife. Bien now doubles down on that message by collaborating with Nigerian rap star Phyno.
The collaboration bridges Kenya’s Afropop sound with Igbo rap, creating a song that feels both deeply local and fully continental. Switching between English, Swahili, Luhya, and Igbo, the lyrics are an unapologetic declaration of success.
Produced by Remy Baggins, the record fuses Afropop and highlife gospel. Built on warm highlife guitar lines, deep bass, and live choral backing, it feels at home in a Sunday service or a backyard party. Igbo percussion and call-and-response chants give the track a communal celebration. Phyno’s verse seals the track’s message: success is undeniable, and no amount of resistance can stop it.
