Camp Mulla is currently placed 5th on the ReverbNation "Top hip hop artists" Kenya national charts, behind Verse Kali (4th), mandech (3rd), Diamonah (2nd) and Nonini (1st).
However, they are ahead of top Kenyan hip hop artists such as Chiwawa (12th) and Abbas Kubaff (15th).
Camp Mulla is considered one of the most exciting upcoming music groups in Kenya, if not East Africa.
However, many adults of the age of 30 and above have criticised their "bubblegum music", according to the Buzz feature on the Sunday Nation website.

They have also recently made huge appearances at hip hop events, school concerts and award-shows such as the Chaguo La Teeniez Awards.
Musical style
Majority of Camp Mulla's songs incorporate Hip Hop and Contemporary R&B respectively.
However, a close listen to some of their tracks also clearly indicate their producer Marcus operates within an 'expanded' Kenyan mind state, such as their song Addictedi.
They call their musical style "2-5-Flow" or "254Low" (pronounced two five flow), which is a pun of Kenya's calling code +254. "254Low" is also said to be the name of their soon to be launched multi-talented fraternity, which will feature young Kenyan upcoming artists believed to be the future of the newly reformed music industry.
