guys support the dream so Elisha umekwa nangoma kada umekwa kitwa however you have a truck that you released recently but it's not entirely the production is entirely based on another company that is nuwev yeah na nuwev umekwa na kina dope I mean umekwa na deniro ulewa is it a record label maybe when it's a transition up on a record label kwan zam siri o kudembo ni a company plan ni metukia kupush hip-hop actually wanna do video for hip-hop artist so um wali link up to kakulaborate so it's a collaboration between you and Nuna Robbie na song mojakalim metua pale meaning he na Robbie he na Robbie maze nasa ma he na Robbie to me survive atas ju na shatiza mi tumba bro bro what should I do for maze so uh let's get to know you better let's start with tomford it's a track that's that has just dropped before we got into this interview tomford na jua tomford from jay z umpa mali arak tomford so what is the inspiration behind this particular title tomford and going for the black and white visions na maybe mbona jay z jay zi amekwa kini inspirasin sagusiyan so um when I was in the studio big beats are freak um aresa luka na tiza na tiza gomea jay zi tomford so at that point nil get inspiration nio bitil kuna in a bump in a bump into itu kumind kumind kani bamba kami ares maze kani zi kani zi tigniza instrumental maze ni come through maze inspiration nitu kapa man after aku that's why the track nimi name tomford ju kia jay zi kona gome nitu tomford yeah all right so tukiru dikuahi na irobi umedrop a few bars piya tomfordi kuna several bars and jo populi popularly known for you know dropping them lines yet this guy remains so humble in studio guys but kila nongia maze inakuhit hard so maybe unezatulizia why do you think that you know especially in kenya hip-hop artists they don't go ahead to push their lyrics to their fans because at the end of the day for a fan to love your music they need to understand what you're singing about so why is it that kenyan artists generally hip-hop artists uh you know don't find the need to push for lyrics that is hatunanga lyrics zaokwa websites kasein kitaka kwendakwa nangome migo migos pale flani ntenda tuni search ngoma na lyrics ni get so why is it that in kenya we don't have those websites yet and is it a need that we need to feel anza se ma hip-hop iya actually hip-hop iya hip-hop apa kenyliansanga kitambo but uh in new generation in agro wukanga liya most of the hip-hop artists wanna learn nabi at sika um sika ma us una pata vetus na kwa gana protocol no na um una pata studios ikwa enough actually way before but at least say studio say uno na aasani wana akaduna uh every every every week kuna kwa gana new music for man hip-hop artist in ken so um say in aza se ma penye hip-hop ene lakia uh ita kwa ita kwa ita kwa easy tuneli kya on that point ene tuta hip-hop kenye takwa globally so iso vetus kama lyrics iso start come to uh with time na jwa alafu most of the rappers na pata ga wana fanyanga tu uh wana rap tu alafu api apu ani gome me toka tu ata shibu liki na nene but an importance ana akeka lyrics ata kani kwa youtube kia pukwa bio ene um afana kikuja kiyonani ni bedelacha aya kwa pshindauki enda kwa a different website to look at the ni i think that's a good idea yeah also maybe un eza tu eleziya kwa lirik zaka roseni kali na kuna ene me se ma ungependa njumba ungependa gari njumba na waip cita neza kwa moja mipa ni nyama bide am joking but basically when you're writing your tracks how is your creative process like aneza se ma actually me ni me gru dandora ani me kwa kwa group since I was young ani nili kwa na rap nikiwa primo ani iwi me kwa culture ietu ni culture ietu ata dando sa iu kia enda sa ivene ani wa saywa ii kuchu iu kia enda kwa ma holu na pataka tu iu ani pga ma freestyle ni ni wakuna beat apu ani iu do me kwa culture ietu since we back tu me kwa tuki fanya rap since nikiwa mdogo so iu knowledge ni me gru na api inspiration ni me tu apu kwa from the kuflani maumaw so alafi piya neza se ma ni kwa ni kwa na one of the best producers around me big beats of free kwa race apu piya ani ileni ani pali lasmu kwa in creative man because ani pali ni me tu apu zitu na duwa the legs of okadena li kwa graph johns so lasmu piya penmanship yu kwa juu man yu kwa juu so ukingi ya kwa booth sasa so umesha andi kasa so umengi ya kwa booth kuna wasani they've got the lines they've got the bars but the delivery point is so weak how do you as a ok chance to say me weak but somebody is trying to come up how do I achieve that punch that delivery how do you achieve sasa apu kwa booth kama ni jina wait let me look forward jina kama wakadena li wana wana tisha so that tisha has to come out you know in a certain way so maybe neza tole delivery aspect kwa booth ni kama gani lasmu tome confidence lani what do you picture when you're at the both do you see yourself at at a stage performing to guys alafuna or pasha ama do you just see your mom alafuna monyesha mam I'm so proud of you maybe neza tole asia your perception when it comes to you know speeding kwa mic na yu delivery yun neza sama ni ni personality yun ni agression ni agression yuna depend sikilam tu ni agresif yun na pata kuna rap on pole ataha kini kina jiko kendrick but still wakana yu delivery so neza sama tu as time umu pigeti yun na rapa swengi sana pigi tizi ana kwa gatu yani wewa umegia studio mi umesema kitu moja aswa umesema e yun na faa ni tizi yun na faa ni unadefined yun na yun na pata ga badu kama kina doktor drae badu nasima nalana kina the legs of kina ni na kendrick una se muna land umu ni yun na anza muna usi land kuna witu kama yu zo delivery badu ni ni yani zoti unafawizi kama zina kama moja yun dojo at least tukwe one of the best li resist so you have a very unique style of delivery yun ni kama kina ex bait twister dokulu suali in connection to that but maybe unezatu eleza how did you yun do yun za wad zika motivo you know there's some people who are told when you missema practice practice until you're perfect for you it seems like it's so effortless so maybe umesema umeta julianza kumboku omtui so the first time you discover that wow i can rap how was it like the first time nili kwa like around class four nili kwa na bishti yungu flani ani tuwa deyno ali kwa group flani nili kwa netua faalme ali kwa na fanya na yun faalme me prosignayo until wa faalme kwa nili kwa na group nili kwa netua faalme so oh deyno yani ali kwa gani ali kwa class two actually so tikiwa break ali kwa gana kujetuna fumsaakul yani yana rapiyot seitu so me ni kumuna pa ali ani ali inspirawengi ali inspirawasivengi sana but after apu nika fum friendship nai after apu ani akani pili kwa kuflani kapata na jamaflani ani tuwa franso de franso kuja ali kwa faalme at that time so few years like two years faalme ika break franso kwa kwa fum group nili kwa nili kwa nili kwa music and tuwa kuja tuwa shikana pamanja na tuwa music uh uki getu yu passion din amata so yu passion nili ni drive through through baka pende niko ani as time goes nili enda letru niki learn yes after years na shapeni zos kule nisha pende kule zina kum first first kia keep drop drop all right cool so maybe elisha kuna msiana tuwa kuja maybe how old are you mazi kus you are so conscious so how old are you nimi tan nimi tan 21 juzy what damn so you very young yeah very young very young indeed mazi i wish you all the best na mazi si unipedit nikam dandora kus it seems like you guys are doing great things in the hip-hop city from young kids gukwa kwa halls and you know trying out freestyles and stuff tabidi tumio ganezaka freestyle over there mr producer can you hear me yeah yeah anyway so if you are to die today and you are asked to come back as three artists so you pick one so you have three i'll give you three artists so you pick one that you know you choose to come back as would it be exibit twister or Eminem wei wei chankam shawabumbu chankam shawabumbu I want to say my exbit exibit exibit yeah wei exibit why exibit exibit nim zito man ma fans photo meski muwa say hip-hop head tomeski za rap wana jwa exibit nina exibit nim zito apart from flow ya ni community ya ni mse ni mse ukiskevenya na rap wana filia ni hip-hop do you wanna speak about issues then you say nothing cause treats no na ya ni nim seana jexpress so miana ni spangasana apart Eminem piya ni nim zito but na fil exibit man exibit twister twister twister piya nim zito man abo ya ni big three man big three alright cool so maybe uniza toeleze albami na toka wen since you just dropped bazenga mani e p so album ni wen ebede ni lulizo na fanoa koni akanya ya mulize anata kakua ngeza collection ya music so when is your album coming out album November album album ni takua heavy ni takua heavy sana man heavy so maybe you can feel a scene on what you are cooking you know from I mean from now until November what should we expect is it more conscious music or is it more conscious music or ile ya ni ita kwa ni ni album ya ni ineza ineza we not ability ya ni ni ita kwa ni hip-hop ita kwa ni hip-hop ya ni wasito to toka kwa na takua kwa ni kitu na tu kudisha ya ni dandora ya ni penny li kuwa dandora ukufla ni li kuwa but for a minute wali alitokam hood ni ni when ya ni life's on the job kumekwa na other hoods kumawaja but na taka ya ni yo album mi kuwa ya ni one of the best album in Kenyan history and I believe for you to achieve this you need a huge support from Kenyan fans na ni kona sully amidst all that maybe uneza toleza how do we put our Kenyan music out there especially for Kenyan consumption minazakusho my sister doesn't know so many Kenyan tracks especially hip-hop and sometimes I don't understand is it her interest tamani vele haja on Yeshua there's a new wave you can write on this wave you can write on this and it's Kenyan I don't think they know this so the fact that many Kenyans don't appreciate or acknowledge Kenyan hip-hop artists how do we put ourselves on our country map na enza sema it's been a minute media me kuwa la liya music una a lot of apart from gangiton mona menza kukumplen kuna a lot of creativity na juwa but media na enza sema me kuwa ikirudisha damp some media we to perform me kuwa iki support Kenyan men isho hip-hop that's the effect hip-hop that's the effect deili men ada kama ni kwanze ya ni unona misiakita kakuski ya rap men kuna a lot of dope rappers but ili the right opportunity ya ni a kuna una juwa sa iwa sa una sema social media ni kuwa sema but you see enough media na fa you come through support support wasa niwa Kenya creatives juwa sa iwa na fanya goma quality wasa na fanya ma video every week every week ada na sema daily men wasa na ikelia kazi so na sema media men support more of Kenyan content ya ni from registration niwa niwa pandamat gari niwa pandamen sicheski ya goma Kenyan kama iso zina kill morale morale amsani kuwa card juwa so kuna fakuna more of play of Kenyan music kuna a lot of kuna calligraph Jones wengi sana wengi sana kukuchi ni but morale amsani ni wengi amsani atake kuja ame kuja interview leo kama mene mekam ya ni you ni psych na kupe ya ya ni psych ya ku kundilek fanya music but papatom say ya ni ame kuakihim adeyo jeonata kwa TV adeyi skengumakia takua radio so is on the videos na kiz vibes ya alright so mazen me ku feel piya nili kuna try ku klikuna song of yours on YouTube but ilikwa high play because of a copyright strike according to you how do you feel when somebody has put out music for you to consume but you can't use are you a believer in like Jekyll said if you put music out there best believe I'm going to take it and consume it however way I want it so if it means sampling if it means whatever so for you when these people copyright when they give you copyright strikes umesema ina Shrikisha Morali ako uma how else can we go about copyright strikes now that you na inga kwa internet world kabiza ya aneza se ma sa iiku me kuna restriction kwa ju una pata ah kuna sa iiwa sani wengio na tengenza person line so wasi wengio me block song zao ezi kumia ni ni ata wiki get transpiration adje ata Tom Ford by the kwa blocked nili
