Wasichana Wanachana Vol.2: nine rappers, eight minutes

Six months after the first edition, Wasichana Wanachana, Vol. 2 arrived at twice the length and more than twice the size. The cypher reached streaming platforms on 27 July 2026 at a full eight minutes, and the official video premiered on 31 July (8:01). Nine rappers share it: Black Queen, Miss Nasty, Teddy VIP, Commander Rich, Yusta 255, Zeddy Wady, Savana, Phia and Tilla, with Irene listed second. She is credited as Miss Nasty, the name all her 2026 music carried before she became Irene in October.

The team is the same: Black X directs, Bin Laden is the studio producer, and the collective releases through Amuse. Black X trailed it on 25 July with a reel promising it would go down like never before; the blog citiMuzik, writing on 3 August, called the series the second edition of Tanzania's official female rap cypher and described its mission as mentoring and showcasing the next generation of female hip-hop artists.

Her release week

Irene posted through the whole run. On 28 July, the day Commander Rich announced on TikTok that the volume was out and tagged her, she posted a reel about streaming the cypher and spitting hot bars (33,100 views). On 31 July, the day of the video, she asked the world to stop and watch what she called the video of the year. On 4 August a reel captioned with the title reached 28,800 views. A month later the collective's own TikTok summed up her verse in two words: Drill Cooking.

By 5 October 2026 the video had 31,725 views and 1,200 likes; a reaction channel in Kenya had reviewed it live, and one week after the premiere the crew performed the cypher on East Africa TV's Friday Night Live.
