These Men Are Basically The Coolest Grandpas You've Ever Seen | Zikoko!

Only a few  months after serving us greatness with these bad-ass grandmas, Kenyan photographer, Osborne Macharia, is back at it again.

This time, in a pictorial called Kabangu, he tells the fictional story of Kenyan hip-hop grandpas who doubled as security guards in the 1980s.

These artistes were known to mentor younger talents, teaching them social values.

The Kabangu are basically the most bad-ass grandpas we’ve ever seen.

The most amazing part of this project is how Macharia recreated amazing pictures to tell stories of people that have done awesome things in the past.

These grandpas are goals! We so can’t wait to see what Osborne is working on next.
