Yes! they have done it, and no it's not a perceived secular song for all of you who are already condemning Size 8 and Daddy Owen.
The song is aimed at creating awareness about malaria in a campaign by a non-governmental organisation known as Malaria No-More Kenya which is determined to end malaria deaths.
The song's title, Malaria ni Hatari, which ii part is in Swahili translates to Malaria is dangerous.
This Kenyan band has come a long way even bagging the 2014 MTV EMA Best African Act Award and they are nominated in a host of other Pan-African awards.

This year Sauti Sol released ''Nishike''( Swahili for touch me) & they were heavily condemned by pretentious Kenyans for straying off their 'family friendly' songs and videos.
They sort of heeded their fans cry and came out with ''Sura Yako" (Swahili for your face) which really sounds bland when translated but is a really catchy song.
They first released a dance instruction video for the Lipala dance and the ''Sura Yako" dance craze went viral in all the weddings and party joints.
It is touted as being a better video for the song than the official video, we think mainly due to the energy exuded in the dancing, you be the judge.
They followed this up with a swanky video by the one and only Kenyan cinematographer extraordinaire Enos Olik.
The official video hasn't caught up as much as expected but still has favorable reviews and views.
However, the remix, featuring Nigeria's Kukere master Iyanya, fails to meet expectations to say the very least and will be a hard sell with the instructional dance video being a better video despite its very low budget nature compared to the other two.
Some critics have described it as having a sort of choir element between the Iyanya-Sauti Sol verses.
You can have a look at it below
In all fairness to Sauti Sol we love them and the song. However, the 2 main videos, for the original and the remix, should have had more...we were expecting something bigger and quite frankly glamorous.
If you think am being too harsh, watch Sura Yako. In my opinion, this is how the video should have looked like.
Yes, its finally out!The first single from his new album Believe (2012) set for release on June 19, 2012. With only 5 days past after the video release, it has already received over 23 million views onYouTube. Younger fans of Bieber are sure going to be surprised at the mature nature of the video which portrays a more grown up Justin as he sings in a new sort of rap/singing style that is more common with the likes of Drake and Nikki Minaj.
This is an RnB song infused with some Hip Hop and its a good listen. Going by the massive popularity of Justin,the song is bound to wind up at the top of the charts soon and so is his eagerly awaited album. It seems the Bieber fever isn't going away soon and he is set for another record breaking year. You better believe he is here to stay and storm the airwaves with his talent.
From the 254, Kenya's supremo hip hop group, Camp Mulla released their newest track 'hold it down' as well as the video. From their previous video's, Camp Mulla fans have come to expect nothing but quality and the 'holding down' video does not disappoint in this respect.
The good news is that they have plenty more tracks that haven't hit the airwaves yet so fans of their music can expect more hits to follow.
Mtaani254 has the exclusive video for you to enjoy, watch it below,
