Started rapping as a freestyle rap gang in high school, Keino has managed to put up tracks that have dominated all the top radio stations in the Country. His major hit ‘’Rock City Girl’’ where he featured Gamit & Tucker HD, released this year under recording of Titanium Rekodz by Producer Gamit sold him like Rolex. The song had numerous air plays and was top of the official Ugandan chat on Magic 100 FM.
He released his first debut in 2004 called ‘A team’ featuring St. Nellysade, sonny sowez and Bidhal. He is currently working on his EP-‘Ethville’ that means ‘everything has value if love leads everything’ under Titanium Rekodz in Bbanda.

Keino recently dropped an EP ontop his first album called RoseEP where he triggers lines of the coolest rap freestyles.
