please PEACE IN AFRICA

[Astrogildo1914]

Hey. :)

I'm not really a hip-hop fan, just a curious person who's interested in East African culture. Even though you're tanzanian talking about the reality of Tanzania, sad to say, some of your lyrics can be applied for many other places. I'm brazilian, and I'm a bit surprised on how similar our social problems are.

Greetings.
