Speaking about the launch, Market Manager Moët Hennessy Eastern African Alexandre Helaine noted that,
“Hennessy is proud to offer a platform to young talented artists to showcase their art in the true DNA of Hennessy, Never Stop Never Settle. The story of Hennessy and Hip-hop goes way back, and we are excited to launch our second cypher in Kenya. Hennessy Cypher 2.0 is a perfect example of Hennessy’s Art of Blending.”
The Hennessy Cypher’s success is a testament to the brand’s devotion to strengthening and promoting artistic content within the Kenyan creative space. The cypher aims to impact the Kenyan Hip-Hop culture and ignite quality conversations.
“Hennessy has a past and a definite future with music and will continue to provide a platform for artists, blending music, talent, influences, and Cognac. The Cypher artists are the perfect ambassadors for the Hennessy brand. They truly Never Stop. Never Settle.” added Mr. Helaine.
Capturing the pioneering spirit of Kenyan creatives requires a high level of cultural respect and understanding – one which only a brand with 150 years of history in Africa could tap into. Hennessy invites you to be part of the second edition and embrace the spirit of Never Stop, Never Settle.
