Heal to This: Hardstone and "Uhiki [Pinye's Remix]"

Today's random tune is sampled from Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing and is called Uhiki [Pinye's Remix]. The song is performed by Kenyan musician Hardstone, who was at the top of Kenya's music scene in the late 1990s, and has since moved to the United States and started his own independent record label, Stone Island Entertainment. Hardstone's music blends ragga, reggae, and hip hop, and he is multilingual, singing in English, Swahili and Kikuyu. He is considered a pioneer of Kenya's urban music scene, and he is the first East African musician to be signed by Atlantic Records. You can find Uhiki, both his original version and Pinye's Remix, on his 1997 debut album Nuting but de Stone. Uhiki [Pinye's Remix] can also be found on the various artists compilation Putumayo Presents: African Groove (2003).
