 This is the home of Kenyan talent. This is the home of Nairobi talent. I can name them Tunji from Tunji to Vien from Sauti Seoul to Chiwawa to the rest of them. But today, they carry the name itself. One, two, five, crew is in the building. You guys are buzzing now. You guys took us back to the old days. You guys just brought the legend himself to the new school. We are going to be talking about the guy, but introduce yourselves starting with the guy behind the sheet. Your camera is number four. I go by the name of Rabsariake, Mr. Classic, holding it down for one, two, five, wrong guy. I go by the name of official Sidney or Sidney, one, two, five. That's how it goes. One, two, five. The last time I checked, the last time you guys got nominated for the Pulse video, I think. I think there were three of you. Yeah, we were three at the time, I guess. Alright, I only see two people here, that's Rajeez, the DJ himself. Rajeez is our new member. Alright, Ray is out to see that. What has changed? You know, in business, guys have different ideologies, and sometimes it doesn't necessarily work out, so you have to part ways. But it was very amicable, very mutual. Alright, so there's no bad blood? There's no bad blood, but I'm sure, you know, there's always that we could have done a bit more. But since he may need me, let's just show him how we do. Alright, we cannot bank on the past year. It's about moving on and pushing the culture forward. Definitely. Alright, so your brother's right? Yeah. Not in Christ. Yeah, man, this is my big bro. This is your big bro? Yeah. This is a family of musicians? Definitely. You have a bigger bro? Yeah. He's a legend again. Definitely. He goes by the name Dej. Yeah. Dej has done amazing stuff in the world of R&B. Yeah. But you guys are mixing it up a little bit. Yeah. You're mixing R&B and hip-hop. Yeah. Alright, so how is it being in the shadow of somebody like Dej? He's crazy. Yeah. We're actually trying to get out from that shadow because everybody's like, oh, though. So is that Singaporean Swali? No, no, no. It's all good, you know, because somebody was telling us we need to be like, when people are talking about us, the name of the bro shouldn't be coming up in our lab because we are just like, everybody's a brand. Yeah, so he has his own brand, big up to him. And we're also trying to build our own. Yeah. So Jackson's is a big family, you know. Yeah. We have families that have taken over the game. We have the Kimbukosias. Yeah. So this is one of them families. Yeah. Yeah. Alright. So I remember this song, Tabu. Yeah. This was back in 2016. 2016. Tabu was a big song. Yeah. And maybe you can just give us a taste of Tabu before we talk about it so people can be familiar with it. Alright. Just a taste. Tabu. Tab. Tab. Tab. Tab. Tab. Tab. Tab. Tab. Tab. Tab. Tab. Tab. Tab. Tab. Tab. Tab. Yeah man. Alright. This was a big song and you guys got nominated for the song in the past. Two times. Two times. Two times. Two times. Two times. Two times. Two times. The whole world. The whole world Alright. So what is this song? Well. Yeah. We are in a country where like there is so many things that are going on you know depression. No money. No jobs. Not a stuff. No money. Yeah. No money. No money just came the other day. So instead of like making it, we wanted to make something that was fun. you know, instead of making it, always like making stuff negative. I wanted to come out with a song that, it's like a punchline. You're talking about taboo, but in real sense, taboo is a problem. But now we made it fun. You made it fun? Yeah. I made taboo a positive thing. Exactly. Like you're a problem. You're old. You know, buddy, you're a problem. Yeah. When you're walking, it's a problem. Exactly. It's a problem. Yeah, it was all about just giving the positive vibes. Positive vibes always, man, because where we come from, you know, there's so many things that are going on. I mean, as much as we, I talk about Runga all the time, ever since I started doing music. There's so many sides to Runga that are not really shown on TV, like the dark sides. Everywhere it has like a dark side, like hoods and stuff that's going on there, you know, stuff like drugs, addictions, a lot of stuff. Which is a problem in the industry. Yeah. So we had to be like, for me, I consider ourselves like we're like ambassadors for where we come from. And we're trying to show like this is the positive side. And like most of the people go to interviews and then you say like, oh, me and I talk Runga. There's like, oh my God, that's like so far, you know, can't reach there and all that stuff. But it's a really cool place. It's only that there's so many other bad things that are going on that we're trying to like shed good light on, you know, that this is a dope place you can come through, you can have fun. Most of the people like given on the weekends are always driving that side, you know. Yeah, definitely. From town. Yeah, they're going to that side. So we're trying to bring the positive side, the good side from Runga so you guys can know, yeah, this is a dope place and you can do anything from there, like from music, dancing, clubbing, whatever. It's self-explanatory in the name, one to five, yeah, to the city. Let me just add on that. We also wanted to, if you've checked out some of our music, we're trying to fuse like Wasewaluwakitambo, the new guys who are coming up. Us, we're new, we're fresh, but if you listen to Tabu, that's a sample from Naudi Kabaka. If you listen to the new one, it's also bringing back an old legend because I feel like in Kenya we're not those type of guys of, ah, Stevie Wonder just dropped a new sound. Let me go sample that and twist it and make it new for, you know, the new kids who are coming up. In Kenya, we tend to shy away. We like jumping on waves. Yeah, we like jumping on waves. Oh, yeah, we're in this vibe now. You got the moves I can tell. I'm a good dancer, but we tend to jump on waves instead of focusing on ourselves. Going back for inspiration. You know, we normally jump on whatever's hot at the time. If bone goes hot, you'll hear our hottest artists as a collaboration with that, that top artist. From Naudi Kabaka to Micro, I heard you mentioned Stevie Wonder. Yeah. You guys seem like you grew up with some good music, some good music. What type of people are you listening to growing up? Yo, and I grew up, I was listening to everybody, like Shara to my dad, Yo, from Elvis Presley, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, like a lot of legends, you know, from country to soul, everything. My dad had like LPs. Yo, I see this guy's doing, he's doing his thing. Yes, we've taken it back. This is him. Rajee's doing his thing. Yeah, man. Shout out to him, man. So like, when I was growing up, I was listening to like so many people. And I think that's what shaped me into doing the stuff that I'm doing right now. All right. And obviously, as a singer and a rapper, do you consider yourself a singer as well? I used to. You used to? Yeah, I used to. I used to sing and I kind of like went back to, now I'm like a BGV. All right. Yeah, so I don't really, it's not my strong point. You know, I just consider myself like I'm a normal thing. I'm not those guys who will hit like fantastic notes. But I'm a normal rapper. I'm mostly on the rapping side. But you're mostly on the rapping side. All right. So how is the writing process like for one to five? How do you guys come up with this thing? Shout out to Dili, by the way. Shout out to Dili. Dili, house of Dili. The writing process is pretty easy, I would say. But I guess it's a vibe thing. You know, sometimes you can get into the studio and the energy is just not right. Like, yeah, you can record like Rajeev's going to press here R and just sit down and sleep, I'll record. But you need a vibe of good energy. And every time we're in the studio, the energy is way, way up. What are some of the things that make the vibe right? I know for some people, it's it's it's the lady. Some people, it's the the lean. Some people, it's the sheikah, the mini sheikah. Yes, what makes the vibe right for one to five? I guess it's it's it's it's good people. Yeah, good people. It's just good people and energy. So what are some of the good people you're working with? Yeah, I've worked with. Oh, man, like the list is endless. Yo, shout out to me. I don't know. Can we count the sage? Is Dij? Whether Dij is dropping or something. Shout out to Dij, by the way. Yeah. Coming back, you're stronger. Jivu. Jivu tight. They came they were here. Yeah. Who else, man? Like, keep jogging, keep jogging. Yeah, there's that guy. Yeah, there's that guy. Something is in the tunnel. It's so many done. It's done. It's so many. It's so many. So many guys. Like, I mean, like, even like I was telling somebody like the other day, I'm trying to bring out their own guy talent. Yeah. Because it's not only us, you know, when people see us, they think it's just, oh, it's just those two guys. And then maybe Shuked and Twinge and that's it. No, we are a bunch of guys, man. I feel like there's an album I'm trying to create. It's called Smallville. I don't know if you get it. Some DJ Khaled kind of. Did you get it? All right, that guy is Smallville. You know what Smallville is? Smallville is that series for? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Clark Kent, Superman, where he used to stay. Everybody just got powers in that series. Yeah, so I consider a wrong guy like that. Yeah. A Smallville. Yeah, it's a Smallville. But I'd love to make an announcement, officially on Y-254 for the first time ever on Y in the morning. Yeah, Shinsuke and Y-25 is coming your way. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's a big exclusive. All right. Exclusive. All right, so you're trying to work on an album with wrong guy artists? Not trying.
