Kenyan singer Bien Baraza will release a 17-track album on 20 November 2026, with guest appearances from American rapper 2Chainz, Tanzanian singer Alikiba and Kenyan rapper Femi One. The date and lineup were reported by KenyanVibe.com on 21 October 2026.

According to KenyanVibe, Bien announced the project on social media. He said he had put his heart and soul into the record and was eager for his fans to hear it.

The guest list

Kenyanvibe.com describes the collaborations as spanning Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and the wider international scene. Alongside the three headline names, it lists Nigerian singer Oxlade, Kenyan singer Coster Ojwang, Joshua Baraka, The Compozers, Papa Gen Z, Ontiri and Papaa Maasai. Ywaya Tajiri, Bryce One, Kaycyy, Tulwap Kipsigis and Nono Melodies are also credited.

The published credits place 2Chainz and Papa Gen Z on Signs, and Coster Ojwang on Kaumbete. Oxlade and Ontiri are on How Can I Forget, while Don't Go features Joshua Baraka and The Compozers. Femi One and Papaa Maasai appear on Mayolo, and Alikiba is on Finale.

Tracklist

The full running order, as published by KenyanVibe, is: Alusa Continua; All My Enemies Are Suffering; Signs (feat. 2Chainz & Papa Gen Z); Omoka; Kaumbete (feat. Coster Ojwang); Don't Go (feat. Joshua Baraka & The Compozers); Run Like Water; How Can I Forget (feat. Oxlade & Ontiri); I'll Be Okay; Xoxo (feat. Ywaya Tajiri); Po. Box Kakamega (feat. Bryce One); Blessed; Mueni (feat.

The record opens with Alusa Continua and All My Enemies Are Suffering. It then moves between collaborations and solo tracks, and closes with Success and Ah.

Where it fits

KenyanVibe presents the album as an addition to Bien's catalogue as a solo artist. It places the release after his work with Sauti Sol and alongside his continued move into international collaborations. The outlet's own view is that the project is one of the notable releases to watch in the region this November.

The source does not name a label or distributor for the album, and it gives no streaming link or details of a launch event or tour.
