In a move nobody saw coming, rising hip-hop star Lij Abe has teamed up with social media sensation and comedian Tomas for the groundbreaking new single, "Kuch Enen" (ቁጭ እኔን), and the result is nothing short of an instant cultural phenomenon. Blending Lij Abe’s signature sharp, modern Ethiopian Drill sound with Tomas’s viral, humor-infused swagger, the track smashes genre boundaries and redefines the rules of music collaboration, guaranteeing that this infectious new anthem will dominate airwaves and timelines for months to come.

​Released just a few days ago, "Kuch Enen" is the standout collaboration from Lij Abe's latest album, OUT OF THE BOX, and it lives up to the title's promise. The song is a masterful fusion of contrasting styles: a gritty, bass-heavy beat anchors the track, but the energy is driven by the dynamic exchange between the two artists.

​Lij Abe delivers his verses with the intense, focused flow he's become known for, tackling themes of street credibility and unwavering self-confidence. The real shock, however, comes from Comedian Tomas. Known for his hilarious skits and over-the-top character work—often referred to as 'Torpa'—Tomas doesn't just provide a funny interlude; he drops surprisingly capable bars, infusing the high-stakes hip-hop atmosphere with his characteristic playful arrogance.

​The collaboration represents a significant cultural moment, demonstrating the fluidity between Ethiopia's music and digital comedy spheres. By pooling their massive and distinct fan bases, Lij Abe and Comedian Tomas have created a track with unprecedented reach.

Lij Abe continue his ascent as a pioneer in the Ethio-Drill and Trap genres, showcasing his ability to craft globally competitive tracks. Comedian Tomas (Torpa) Proves his versatility, making the jump from viral comedy to legitimate musical performance without losing his signature charisma.​"This is exactly what the industry needed—something fresh, something bold, and something that doesn't take itself too seriously while still delivering quality music," remarked one prominent music blogger. "It’s a win-win: Tomas gets a banger, and Lij Abe gets a viral hit."

​"Kuch Enen" is currently racking up massive view counts and streams, setting the standard for star-powered collaborations and confirming that in the modern music industry, breaking out of the box is the only way to the top.
