Welcome to Episode 56 of The Worst Friends Podcast featuring the incredibly talented 4Mr Frank White, a bold voice in Kenyan hip hop whose journey from the underground to the mainstream is nothing short of inspiring.
In this episode, Mr Frank White breaks down his music journey, the origin of his stage name, and his creative process in the studio. He takes us back to the exact moment everything changed when his song “Alicia Keys” unexpectedly hit over 200,000 streams without him even realizing it at first. That sudden success came with intense pressure, and it pushed him to work even harder… leading to the birth of his first album, “Definition Ya A real One.” The streets received it well, officially marking his entry into the music game.
He then dives into one of his most iconic projects, “Mziza Kwa Dimanga,” an album that became legendary not only for the music but also for its powerful album cover featuring the late Hon. Raila Odinga. Mr Frank White explains how Raila’s resilience, consistency, and fighting spirit deeply inspired him reflecting the same energy he carries in his music career despite facing different challenges.
Next, he shares how his album “Taigwa Goma” changed everything, transitioning him from being labeled an underground rapper to a mainstream artist. Even before people heard the music, the album cover alone pulled in new audiences, proving just how powerful branding and visual presentation can be.
We also get into his latest EP featuring Mwanaa, a project that pushed him out of his comfort zone. Since Mr Frank White usually records everything by himself, stepping into a collaborative studio session was a big creative shift one that challenged him to become more open, experimental, and intentional with his sound.
He also reveals his unique approach to collaborations:He first creates the track, envisions the perfect artist to fit the vibe, sends it to them, and allows them to respond organically when ready ensuring authenticity, intention, and real creative chemistry in every collaboration.
Towards the end, Mr Frank White opens up about why he proudly represents his hometown, 44 Kahawa West. He explains that for a long time, no artist had boldly come out to represent Kahawa West, and that’s exactly why he chose to carry it in all his music complete with his signature “K” ad-lib and area code shout-out. It’s more than branding for him it’s identity, pride, and purpose.
To wrap it all up, Mr Frank White shares his future goals, his strong desire for more people to discover his work, and his determination to keep growing without losing the truth and resilience that define his sound.

With only 3 days to prepare 5 outfits, his experience was chaotic, emotional, and unexpectedly inspiring. He shares what really went down behind the scenes, how he pulled it off, and what the modelling industry is like for upcoming models.
The conversation shifts when Kelly asks how our podcast even started. We take you back to our first day on campus, how the co-hosts met, and the funny story of how one of us was “tricked” into becoming a co-host. It’s a real, honest look at our journey and how the show came to life.
To wrap things up, we read crazy anonymous confessions from our listeners from relationship drama to wild secrets and give our raw, unfiltered reactions.
