Perfect Ah, nice, love it, welcome to Bones Nation It's our pleasure to be here How are you? I feel good Thank you so much for making time Bless So I am DJ and I am Sunny, I think I am Sunny, am I a King? Sunny or DJ? I am Sunny I am a DJ and I am a DJ and I am a Bias Kidababa Where it all started, I know how you guys linked up but you'll talk to us about that So let me start with Lasti, she is a rapper, she is from high school and all that So did that, did your love for music begin in high school or way back, were you listening to some other people who inspired you to start singing or you are always new from an early age, that's what you wanted to do when you grew up Okay, for sure, I learned music, I am a dog But I am still young I don't know how to sing, I don't know how to sing But I know that I am a primary, I know that I am a soloist I know that I am a potato, I know that I am comfortable I am a leader So at that time you were a DJ, was there a Bias Kidababa? Yes, I was a DJ, I was a little bit of a dancer, I was in high school I was in Form 1, I was in Form 1 I was wearing some lines but then I had these lines Yes, we had some issues. I just haven't decided whether to keep a voice or not. I have never spoken so openly in anything else. You've become more of a poetry. Yes, you've become more of a poetry. So, I just wanted to show you my skills and come true. But I just wanted to show you me, I already have my own calligraphy and such. So, we had our own pre-emptive time time to know what's all going to perform. So I'm going to go back to work and see what's all going to be like out of the day. So I'm going to go back to work and see what's all going to be like out of the day. Hey, one day I came up with a paper and I recited it and I went to the stage. Then I saw Ragby so I said to him, I'm going to go and see what's all going to be like out of the day. So I said I'm going to go and see what's all going to be like out of the day. Sir, it's a multi-challenged. It's not like it's all going to be like out of the day. So first time I went to the stage, I recited a paper. So I said to him, I have no trouble with my shake. But the other day I was... Well, you accept. Yes, I accept. I'm going to go and see what's all going to be like out of the day. I was thinking of having a shake. I was thinking of having a shake but I was speaking too much. I was like, I'm talking. Then I thought, I'm going to go and see what's all going to be like out of the day. So I learned to speak and speak. But I didn't know how to speak. I just didn't know how to speak. I just said, I'm off practice. Because I was at the speed bus. I was going to the pages and mail them. So I was off practice. I was off chorusing. I was singing. Then I released my first song in 2019. It didn't really happen. My first song was Dimwesho. With my nigger, it was Kidlar. It was a big up Kidlar. Shout out to Kidlar. Yeah, man. Right. Around from 2. So I learned to fully record. I was at the studios. I was at the journalists. Yeah. In school. G.I., you've been in the game for like 10 years now. Karibu. Karibu, 10 years. Almost 10 years. You've been in the game that long. So what can you say has actually kept you going for that long? Because in the industry, some people give up along the way. And now I'm saying, I like to EGP. I miss you. Yeah. I'm going to say, first of all, I think as soon as I became a DJ, I was at the academy in Caiwa. After that, I was at the underage. So I was at the gate of gigs and clubs. I had the opportunity to get on TV and radio. Your design. So actually, I was given up. But two years later, I was doing other things. I was doing my job after that. I was doing music. I was doing anything else. I was doing two things with no passion. So after two years of hiatus, I was able to fully, officially, professionally do music. And what keeps me going is just hunger to be better, to be great. And then you're also a producer. So which one came first? DJing came first. Then production later. So which one is your first love? Last time, I was actually like a model. You can't give me real life. Me and production are still dating. We're getting to know each other. But DJing took a fully, fully committed, long-term relationship, Monday. Right. I don't know, like, it's a funny story how you linked up with last year. Because from what I know, I'm not going to be able to connect with you. Shout out to Boopier. Yeah, Mangeo. I like Boopier. I was on a bike when I was born last year. I was born with a lot of music, like Kenyan music, because I'm very big on Kenyan music. And they were just telling me, man, Kenyan music is good, but we need to bring out more artists. And Kangemi, where we're from, has dope talent. Right, Kangemi is 23, right? 23, West Side. Yeah, West Side. So, Reddyl is a team psycho. He's from Qatar, TNJ. And he's from Mangeo. He's from Boopier, and he's a platformer. He's one of the best. So, he showed me a video of last year, free-styling, trapping Monday or chilling. And I was like, nah, this guy is just, he has something. And, yeah, I have to meet this guy. I have to work with him. I don't know how, I didn't even know, like, how I was going to work with him. But I knew, yeah. You had, you had, you had. You had him. Cosimo, who could do that. That's it. That is my next project. Just like that. Last year, so, he reaches out and then what? Like, so he'll remember, so that Naniya will approach me. So a bike, and I'll go to the show, like, there's a guy who's in the middle of a ski resort, and he'll say, man, like, you guys can work together. But how did that happen? So, once you're a bike, see which hill, most of the time, you know, it's just a tiny hill. It's just a small hill. So, I was freestyle, you know. So, I remember that day, I was part of the DJ Flan. I was not so busy. I was busy working, working on my music. And I remember going to work, that was me. I was always very busy working on my music. I was there too. So, I was at the show. Ah, so I was going to work, but at one time, I was going to be at Teftemoti. I was there示 when. I remember there was J there, and I remember, hey, J is J, because I was at Gohtia, you know. But the other day, I had a conversation with a friend of mine. So I had to exchange contacts with him. I had no time to talk to him. I mean, I have a story to tell. I have a daily life and I am with him. So I had no time to talk to him. I had no time to talk to him. I had no time to talk to him. I have a crush on him. I had to talk to him. I have a crush on him. Let's talk to him. I had no time to talk to him. Did you know you had a high school? I have a high school. And I have a middle school degree. But it was your time. I had a teacher and I have a home care student. I had a crush on him. G1za, you know, I've always been a fan of G1za. It's not even G1za's story. It's not even G1za Jee. He's just my favorite guy. When DJs play me some bids, they're random too. I'm not even sure if it's bids. If I was here, I'd know. If it's my bumbik, I'd know. If it's my bumbik, I'd know. I'm not even sure if it's bids. I'm not even sure if it's bids. I'm just not sure. You see, they say, if I was a baby, I'd go to a doctor and say, hey, you see, he's crazy, crazy. That's what I'm talking about. How many people have come here? So you're saying, Jail comes from Kwanzaa. Jail comes from Kwanzaa, man. And he's like, look, he's going to show. No one has a freestyle joke. There is a challenge, that no one has a freestyle joke. So I say, I'm recording John Coppea, and Logic and Tulsi, and I'm recording. I was told you're really good at on-spot free styling I was told you're really good at on-spot free styling I'm not on-spot free styling I don't know if you know my style I don't know I don't know I don't know what you think Do you need a bit more of a flow?

How many are there? How many are there? Hey, hey, hey! I'm not a foreigner, but I'm just a foreigner! Wow! Now you see what G is all about. I'm not sure what G is all about. Because a lot of artists want to say, but if you do that, I don't know what G is all about. Self-lol has made a change. And you killed all of it, sir. Shout out to you. That's amazing, everyone. That's like super, super amazing. Because it's one thing when you have a profile and say, there's a freestyle in it. But then when someone hands you the mic, it's another thing to flow with it. And I can see it. Like, I don't know where they can see a little bit of Issa, Meja, Shinsuke in you. Even Biggie. How do you take that when you hear people say that? Because it's something I actually say. Because there are people who say that we are Biggie. Like what? We are B.I.G. Notorious B.I.G. So, me and B.I.G. Two hours say like, if they are comparing me to these guys, you... For the first time I was in the room, I didn't know what to do with them. Me and Shoto, they say they're dead. They're dead. So, I'm here. I'm here. I'm here to check it. And fully, I'm here to check it. With the music of the people, the music of the people I mean, I sing, I perform, I dance, I combine the two. And you have an EP by René Choudoba, with the music of the gang, we'll talk about that in a few. But first I want to find out from J.I. A lot of people say that Kenyan music doesn't have an identity but in fact it's not an identity. I'm a Piano, I'm West Africa, I'm Afrobeat, so when it comes to Kenya, I want to say that Kenya has an identity. What do you take on that? What do you think is the Kenyan sound? So me, I'm somebody who's like, follow this music culture of ours to the best of my ability. Since I'm a Joakila Kitu, but I'm not sure if it's because of Kenyan music. Even in the past few days, Kapuka and Ganga, those are the prominent sounds in Kenya. Kapuka was more club vibes and Ganga was more like for the streets, stories, you know, just our stories and experiences. So in time I came to appreciate like, okay, for me it's a long term, I don't think Kapuka is really a thing right now that we're talking about. But Ganga evolved, it became Gangaton, but it didn't die still. So Ganga is still alive, Joakal Yalto album, I think one week before us. So it's like, for me it was to define Kenya's sound and say, we don't have an identity. It's us who've chosen not to have an identity, but let's say Ganga for the people who know and understand what Ganga is. It's such a specific genre of music, it's music for everybody. It's our stories, it's our experiences, what we've gone through, what we enjoy in our language, in Shang. You know, so that's our identity and that's our sound, that's what I think. We come back and talk about the album Dobazawa Ganga. That is the name of the EP actually, not album, it's the name of the EP. We'll talk about it in a few, but first we take a short break. We're coming right back. Stay with us. Hashtag Bounce Nation is where you are at.
