Kenya’s award winning melodic rapper, Jomonotics releases debut EP
By correspondent
The wait is over. Award-winning melodic rapper Jomonotics has just released his debut EP, Soul Ties – and it’s the kind of project that doesn’t just play in your ears, it lingers in your heart and mind, ready to soundtrack your deepest connections and most tumultuous moments.
Dropped on August 15, 2025, the EP is now streaming on all major platforms, carrying listeners through the highs, lows, and in-betweens of modern love.
A Journey Through Love, Loyalty & Longing
Known for his bold fusion of rap and melody, fashion-forward image, and the unmistakable tag “OOH YEAH!”, Jomonotics has built a loyal fan base drawn to his emotional honesty and sonic originality.
Following the success of his 2024 album NitaOMOKA Milele, Soul Ties marks a new chapter — a deep dive into the beauty and chaos of connection.
“Soul Ties is about connection in its purest and rawest form,” Jomonotics says. “It’s passion, it’s heartbreak, it’s that lingering presence of someone even when they’re gone. I wanted each track to be an experience you feel in your heart, not just your ears.”
A Track List That Speaks to the Heart
From the unwavering devotion in Sijali Nani Ananitaka to the heat and urgency of Usiku Mchana, Soul Ties offers a versatile yet cohesive sonic ride.
It explores love in all its shades – from nostalgia-laced longing (Favorite Ex / I Want You Back) to the quiet reflections on how we leave pieces of ourselves in others (Pieces of Myself).
The bonus track, The Only One, blends Dholuo, English, and Swahili into a soulful tribute to the kind of love that brings peace and purpose.
More Than Just Music
Jomonotics is more than an artist – he’s a media practitioner producing a Kiswahili-language show on KUTV, a digital strategist shaping brand narratives, a Creative Director in fashion, and a philanthropist through his foundation The Other Siblings, supporting children in rehabilitation centers and underserved communities.
His ability to merge art, purpose, and business has made him one of Kenya’s most dynamic creatives.
Why You Can’t Skip Soul Ties
This isn’t just another love project. Soul Ties is a mirror – sometimes showing you the tenderness you crave, sometimes confronting you with truths you’d rather avoid. It’s passion, loyalty, heartbreak, desire, and reflection, all compressed into six tracks that feel too real to ignore.
The kind of real that makes you replay a song three times before moving on.
The kind of real that makes you text “we need to talk” at 1 a.m.
The kind of real that makes you remember, and sometimes miss , the people you thought you’d forgotten.
Whether you’re falling in love, healing from it, or just vibing through the chaos, Soul Ties is the perfect soundtrack for the ride.
