Rajiz me R-A-J-Y-Z, Mixed S-P-M, Mixed Cloud, Rajiz the DJ. All right now, Wassey Bassey. Don't forget to send in your idea or rather what you think of rap and hip-hop. Is it the same thing or is it something which is different? It's a difference between rap and hip-hop, right? Yeah. They should do that. I try to perform a channel on our social media handles at Mishela Ashira Izwa, you can find me. And once again, when you look on the fashion trends in the hip-hop music, in the culture, it's quite different. Every single day new things are evolving and it's been a while that I've seen young people roaming the hood with Fanny Park. And our guest today has one equally and he'll be telling us more about his style and who brought about this look. It goes by the name none other than Clinchy Royal in the building. Yes, thank you very much for coming through. We appreciate, so introduce yourself. Privilege to be here actually. So I go by the name of Clinchy Royal in all social media handles as we get at Clinchy Royal. I'm a hip-hop urban artist. I believe man saving the right person to take Kenyan music to the next level. The right person to take the Kenyan music to another level. And speaking about fashion trends, we saw Octopizo during one of the shows in one TV station. He has a very unique style hairdo and it was cornrows and an hair extension. And people were focusing much on what he had going on on his head apart from just the fact that he has a new jam coming out. So fashion trends in hip-hop scene, it's quite evolving. Every single day Octo Nulem say he doesn't really care about what people say. And on that note, let's find out the three basic things you can't leave Nyumbani Bila as a Clinchy on your Fanny Park. Okay. So let's find out the three things I can't leave Nyumbani Bila as a Clinchy Royal. The three things I can't leave Nyumbani Bila as a Clinchy Royal. So you can't leave Nyumbani Bila as a Clinchy Royal as a Clinchy Royal. The first thing actually is my wallet. Okay. Because I don't have my wallet. And you don't have your wallet during the day? Yes, during the day. So wallet is my first thing. The second thing is my keys to my house. Keys to the house? Another thing is I can't leave my house without a copy. Do you want to tell us how you work with your albums 24-7 in the States? Am I in it because you're coming to? Even if I don't have the head copy, I have a soft copy with me. So what if I don't have the head copy? Something else? Oh, that's the three. Okay. Can you tell us how you work with your albums 24-7 in the States? We'll give him the three. Wallets, keys. The last thing. You can tell us how you work with your albums 24-7 in the States. Oh, your phone, very important. I can't leave my phone. Absolutely. And there's always a perception. I would like to call it stereotyping of the hip of music. In the culture, people tend to associate hip of music with aggressiveness and gang violence. What are the sum of stereotyped comments you've had about the hip of music? So, okay. The mentality of everyone out there, if you are a hip of artist, you're from a particular gang. When you gangstar as in you steal, you rob people because you see us as hip of artist, we are the voice of the ghettos. Okay. So what can happen, kwa hood? Like me, don't you may honor. And there's some people out there, they don't have the talent to express. Let me express it with my music. So as much as you can hear some less lyrics. Lyrics is not until we took back kwa hood, gang violence, police brutality, drugs. To be honest, these are things that happen. Yes. And if we don't talk about them, akunam sa rabao, wana cheki. Exactly. That's why they say Anatis is the mirror to the society. True that. Sinini kiyon na jami. Okay. So stereotyping means I get. What's wana say mami ni gangstar. I'm a any drug dealer because what's akis kia lyrics. But to be honest, I'm that sweet guy. I can't change it. I'm a reason. I'm a changed guy actually. But if you hear my music, listen man kwa true. To my culture, where I'm from. So niki wana police brutality because I've gone through that. You have to address it. Harassment. So how did your parents take the whole idea of you taking music as a career. And especially doing hip-hop music whereby it has different perception from people up there. So let me say this. Actually I'm an off and I don't have parents. Okay. Paul it to that. But anyway, I believe. So me not having parents gave me that ambition to that without this music. This end of the only thing it any talk or engine on. If I any go hard. But when I was a big up my parent is my big sis. I am any support from. Shout out to you sis. Yeah, shout out manzeh Vesh. Salute manzeh. I love you so much. So all in all, I'm a cook show support. But I'm fast there. Because I'm sure. Like me from way back. And like she asked me even at a kwa ni ni kwa mbegi. Mili kwa nisha make ma mind. I want to be a rapper. So at first. You know, you all know how can parents. God didn't know. I think you can be a rapper. And then what else are you going to do? A perform music. At first maybe it was negative. But I had to prove her that. Ikitu ni worth it. But with time I'll have to support. Even when I went to college. I'll allow me to study my passion. Because I'm also a filmmaker. And I'm a video editor. I'm a project editor. Yes. Because you already jumped into that. I've seen you. No, it's okay. I've seen you jump. Jeshila Dago from last year. Yeah, last year. Yes, so Jeshila Dago. And then also it incorporated other artists. Who are actually featured. That's my crew. All right. And I saw on the credits. They highlighted you one of editors. So you have other skills apart from just being an artist. And probably should mention some of them. And let's talk about Jeshila Dago. Okay. Jeshila Dago. So let's start from the song itself. Jeshila Dago. It's a jump from my album. The Rise Up. You can get it at Boom Play, My Mook. So since I have these skills. Nani ikona resources. Nikona linka studio. Then ikona manze. These are my boys of code. And they are also talented as I am. So nikiwa bring to light to group amoja. It is to positive. All right. So actually they are my crew. They know me from way back. When I was a kid. See kwa anything. Just kwa clean ching kwa hood na haso. Na piya broyangum bidi ya kwa. So I met my big bro. And he told me. And actually he is a coach in East Africa. Got talent. Kruya came a pass. Jokali dramas. Shout out to Luvi. Sinclaia. Duji. Moaki. All right. Shout out to all of them. So let's look at. So jeshi ladagu ikatoka. Or representing your hood. And then now what was the next. Kus this was a mixtape. Was it part of the mixtape? Or this was now the EP? Oh jeshi ladagu is for my joint album. Joint album. Yeah after my. So I started with that. Kus you have the Royal Highness. Kus your mixtape. Mixtape called Royal Highness. Then we had to. So niza se ma nili record. Project yote by myself nikiwa kule. All right. Then kenye tu nili patiya. Nili patiya producer mixtape. So I did everything from recording. Nili naji record. Na nabutu na record. Aligning the whole project. Then my producer did. Alidu only the mixing part. But me do the whole thing. So that was the way of introducing yourself into the game. Through your mixtape. Then let's move to your now your EP. Which is a formula success. Ya so mixtape went to formula success. All right. I recorded it at Supersonic Africa. Where the host cock studio. Actually I took advantage because I was an intern there. So me being around this big studio. And I'm talented. Manse singe let opportunity pass. So I was left alone in studio. I recorded myself nine tracks. I can say this is one of my professional projects. If you hear, you can hear sound manse. Quality on another level. So this is my second project. Nili nipelimelite. Unes angali atla kamam kwanja. Ikona video kwa po YouTube. From formula success. Ya guys should check it out. Relinus. Relinus nili patiya platform. Kwa zikona nga mene toa dreamer. Ya then after that then we jump. I'm speaking about dreamer. Now we have a single which is out for in two weeks known as my way. There's one thing that is cutting across which is your love for music. And the fact that you're looking for success out of it. And I believe there are challenges as an artist. You've been into the game since 2016. That's a long period of time compared to someone who's just starting up. How do you ensure you stay sane and be focused as you hit the studio to release another song or even an album as you speak of which you're promoting it now. So what I can say is all about consistency. Consistency. Ya. And being consistent on our daily cause if you drop one project and relax at the end and say I have a project. No you must keep on working and working. And then you make a mentality. Even right now I have a new EP. Since I have a new project available in my digital platform I can just relax. I always strive to be better because I believe I haven't reached my destiny. Definitely. So this is just a foundation and I want it to be firm, a strong foundation. So for you it's all about consistency regardless of how you... Not every day you feel like... I'm so sure it's not like every day you feel like showing up to every gig because you have also personal issues. So how do you even handle that for you? Because you have different challenges. So you just put yourself together and you are sure. So you have to show up regardless of how you are feeling because success is all about just showing up in consistency as you have actually put it. So you spoke about the... you don't know as the album that you are promoting right now and it's the first single on your album. You spoke of it as the best project that you have ever done. Why would you say that? What is different between... now you know? Or is it you don't know? You don't know. You don't know and the previous one which is Rise Up. In formula success. So what is different with this album? First of all I can say this is my best project so far because nima invest a lot on it. I've paid for every track. So I own the old project. This year it's mine. So me and the executive producers in our own project because nima libea everything from producer and studio then I can say nima go hard because I've managed to balance apart from music. I also work. I work with Nokia company. So nima manage time in my career because I was coming out of work at five then nima studio na record project the whole night. So you project nima recording in three days? In three days. After working for let's say one year. What would you say? Is it easy for an artist to have a couple of so many singles and then you just compile them as an album? How does it work for you? Do you have a couple of singles that you are yet to release or do you go with your time? I feel like this is the right time I am supposed to release an album or is this something that you've been doing previous years or previous months and then you just decide I'm going to pick this one and that one in my compilation for an album. So speaking on my side actually nisa se manikona track zminis da release So you work prior? You have a list of? So I always make sure kila track na release, nikitwa se watu accept so if I feel manzei he track just he feel I'll not drop it. So track zmini me selecting my every project nime kachini nime rihas everything in my record then I sit down and decide then then this will be track number one, track number two then I compile them then you can choose the other way kenyuma se man kuna zakuna record constantly in years then after for those period of years kenyuma kuna record, kuna compile the whole project the singles Alright as we wind up are you signed under any label because I've seen B&G media in most of your projects and like this one I've forgotten but they've been in dreamer also I've seen them on my way and a couple of others so many of them I've seen a B&G label are you signed under them or how did you guys work it out? Let me give you this story Let's summarize the story Summary can also be sweet It's simple So shout out to my producer and it's a clue Shout out to you clue So we met with clue back in college and then he mixed my first project Prolinus so mimi mawakna wan producer all the way until this project mawakna new producer so nisa se ma even if kiyangalia tam se ka kenrik mimi mawakna producer mawaja producer kenitwa ali so mimi as an artist nili jia identify uni producer na jwa soundi hangu tuka grow up pa mawaja since those four project then after clearing college tuka decided to join up then open up that studio I can say it's a partnership but to me I'm not signed to any label niza mimi independent artist niza work with anyone So speaking about working with any intention to collaborate and if yes, which particular artist would you like to work with but they can work with other artist na believe kilamsia kona atia kesoni kona room kwakna any other artist mimi se niza daikwakna actually nimi mawakna huda venue natsakumpi nituwa geto superstars kone zai cheki so in Kenya artist niza daikwakna just mention two two artist nimi mawakna huda okto na kali niza doka hudu na uraizi niza hudu na kumbosana okto na kaligraf into the industry kaligraf jones okto pizu releasing jam kanya give us your social media handle so that people back at home can keep up with what you're doing your new music singles out more albums because you are someone who actually releasing album after album so give us your social media handle and now they can get back to you so utani patapo o social media kila maali YouTube at clinchi royal Facebook clinchi royal Twitter clinchi royal everywhere clinchi royal so yo GMC sa ukosisi maze ako na tunafek actually your music speaks about social issues that every youth is going through employment, success and love of art so make sure guys you follow clinchi royal across all of the social media handles he has some good music for your health from albums he pays why would you want to miss that he has a simple as clinchi royal at michelashira is where you can get me across all my social media platform so remember we had asked we are still asking on facebook page we have a poster out there on our writing wall which we are asking the difference between rap so comments are coming through we have hard drugs kwa mba rap is more about poetry of words and words style while hip-hop is more about the music but i don't know what you think about that but thank you very much hard drugs and then we have kamao robot big up clinchi my classmate from high school wana jwa kamao robot so yo manze first of all nani ma fansin gekuwa apa nia za naktis de kuwa nata kuwa humble as much as na house nani kwa humble nais malini metoga wata wa high school and support wata wa hood all the way for my school that's a real friend there and some will come by your music his dub is appreciating your art then we have salim salim dollar boy and some are watching from mombasa show ikomoto sana shout out to you salim for me say then we have kerinyaga county is very much locked we have kagi o town well represented iko litsana play for me one sing one thing by kwa wu kwa wu one sing one okay remember the hashtag we use is hashtag why in the morning hashtag why 254 across our social media platforms and then we have another one from nansin jagiol they from mombasa tena amesema kwenba represented all right then we have there are so many so i'll just finish up with skip kalifo and the rest will be mentioned by by barry mong and Karen we have a skip kalifo saying yo DJ the bro playing more calligraph johns the king hip-hop bro okay we need to share calligraph johns then we have kong david why unite hip-hop so nikondani amchuzi we kong david akondani amchuzi mchuzi mba umandali onanan other than DJ Raji so make sure you stay tuned and please let your comments come through which is what is the difference between rap and hip-hop music and you have if you have any request that you like DJ Raji to play for you all day after this head out to a social media handles that is why 254 channel on our facebook page and sending your request at michelashira is where you can find me and i would equally be glad if you reach out to me yes DMs are very much welcomed make sure you stay tuned DJ Raji's got you covered in the wheel list of good music right now we are going to hear from clinchy royals and he will be representing on this ground of ours so let's hear what he has for us yes i'm looking forward to dream up but anyway whatever jam is going to drop buzz on i'm so down to it and i'm getting ready to listen to his good music so DJ Raji let's do this
