 what up it's why in the morning hip-hop Thursday this is how we do it i go by the name karan jissa and you can find me on facebook instagram and twitter as karan gang gang gang follow for follow mazee you know i need those follows okay so guys do we be asked you on our facebook page do you think hip-hop artists use Illuminati as a publicity stunt or are they genuinely in it okay now in studio today nikona king motifs mazee we are banning the evil okay so maybe you can tell us if Illuminati is evil or do you think Illuminati is evil Illuminati personally i don't think it's evil or it's not evil my my opinion is it's about how how personally you get it as a person because in the industry is all about hard work and to me is much of a publicity stunt rather than a religion or something that people use so you can call it a marketing gimmick yeah as a rapper yeah as a rapper because it all narrows down to the hard work someone has not the Illuminati publicity stunt or something yeah but for sure many rappers use it for sure you agree to that yeah i agree to that would you you know want to try no really no as as you can listen to my song but evil it's strongly against that yeah all right so king motifs mazee he's been in the industry since 2014 that's a long time man yeah yeah sure five years yeah since i was in campus oh wow so you started in campus yeah how was it like setting the journey it was hard they started in our music group a duo called washuki or musical i was with a guy called gizmo we were doing dancehall hip hop so it was pretty hard in tikka 237 representing whoa whoa yeah before i moved to rungai to pursue a solo career oh wow can i stop you that like i i came here to rungai a week ago and i got tired of that life i went back to tikka so wow i got tired of tikka as well really yeah sure Jesus christ okay yeah so it was hard first of all i was a dancer at sweat crew sakata yeah so the the group thing just didn't work with me because of the pace you know everybody has a different drive this game yeah and i was more of my drive was doing solo career because i was writing my own thing doing my art and people was like you can do this on your own yeah and i was feeling that the group was slowing me down so after we released our debut single worst ex recorded by starbiz at pacho who released the video then i decided to go solo yeah that's the time that i recorded bani vol yeah by big up bola macaveli roka so before that well you were in the group how many tracks did you guys drop uh videos we dropped three videos two hip hop one dancehall but for tracks we did around 12 tracks 12 serious don't know yeah okay that's awesome so by them slowing you down what do you really mean uh basically you know so much effort it's tricky yeah because at the end of the day we work up with different drives so my drive was to reach somewhere that i didn't feel the group was taking me there and i was the leader of the duo and the dance group so i felt that four years down the line you're not doing anything and you are as a group and i felt like alone i can do this much better within a short time yeah so i just decided that but there was no beef there was no differences yeah i just left with good peace and now i'm here yeah yeah beef is only on burgers man yeah yeah that's why i released bani vol by they know had feelings to anybody in the industry or anybody with my past yeah bani vol is just a life teaching with my story yeah just basically true of my storyline yeah so we'll get right into bani vol in just a few uh maybe you can tell us what you really enjoy right now as an artist in the music industry because you said you know after you broke up from the group now you're doing a thing and you're quite liking it what is this that you really enjoy doing in the music industry first of all let's say after i broke up from moshukiwa i realized my full potential yeah with the group i was kind of looking down my potential to some ideas maybe to some corporate ideas but personally i have the freedom to express myself i'm enjoying the music life right now like writing my tracks interacting with my fans yeah managing my own music business oh yeah big up jose fgb my director and magic mic the producer so far i'm moving places as i'm as i'm alone and basically it's good so far good so far i'm curious to know what really drew you to the music industry i've been multi-talented for a while before i started music i was in high school i was doing basketball back in laser hill oh wow yeah then explains your attire right yeah true sure then after that is actually a real hobby basketball yeah then joining campus basketball was not much active in mku so i started dancing yeah we did sakata from there i noticed i can rap yeah through the other guy in my group washukiwa so when i started rapping i realized this is my thing now i left behind all the things i was doing so i was doing rap and now i'm doing rap and singing too rap and singing yeah okay so um could you kindly describe your creative process you know how you go about you know coming up with a track and when do you decide this song i'm going to sing amma are you guided by the rhymes the rhythm or what's up basically music is my lifestyle as i walk i just throw up literally in my head yeah and music i can come up with a track anytime even now i can freestyle and come up with the chorus yeah really yeah i don't like sit down and think of what i'll write i can hit the studio listen to a beat then i jump to it yeah i got verse 24 7 okay yeah so you better run like squirrel me elevates spiral what do you mean by that okay yeah basically okay somebody out there yeah for me is it you know a black force that you you saw maybe or not about the black force i can't go deep into that but personally many people let me use the word monkey business many people in the industry are prone to monkey business and for me i don't like that i don't like doing things the straight way yeah so many people have worked with many people have associated with the industry they've been doing things i don't like which are these people i just see people yeah if you listen to baneval you can get the story yeah what is this that you don't like in the music industry i don't like monkey business monkey business yeah i don't like the funny funny funny funny funny funny any fishy business any backstage thing yeah i just like going down with my art yeah this is a promoter you know hip-hop with your door or promoters artists producers people who are you trying to use you people you work with in the day to day industry life you know the industry is big it's not that the art or the producer the promoters are there producers they present at the DJs you know so if you're working with somebody and you find it's not straight it's in some way it's in a monkey business he shy away for me i like the straight way and the song describes it all i can't go deep into it as i said okay okay um so let me ask you a question yeah how do you go about performance anxiety when you're performing out there do you have any no no no start with oh you're cool off yeah i'm just relaxed i'm easy yeah i'm that person who's easy give me what you want me to do i'll do it with all the passion and love yeah any day what really inspires all this vibe um the art it's my life it's in me it's in my blood yeah the lyrics are in my DNA yeah that's what i can say yeah do you have like any artists in kenya that you look up to yeah in kenya i look up to mostly hard core old school hip-hop i look up to k-shaka, kuflani, maimit, mashifra, abbas, big up yeah i'm passing this on you wakadinali wakadinali of course big ups car yeah chachi, shaka, bisa, then

doing your own thing what is it that you like in the music industry the music industry as a person i'm in love with the studio time studio time yeah the time i lay down my content the time i express
