And kipenzi ikonaiwa Vaibya ma piano kind of I left right after that your next song blow which is also super amazing inakujeka kwa hip-hop. How? So how did that happen? I produce, I engineer nabado mimi na naji record ya so me I go with the vibe if I want to do hip-hop I'm gonna jump there I'm gonna make a good song a hip-hop song if I want to do ma piano I jump there I make sure that song sounds so much ma piano u kiske wu kumpen nangoma zinginaza ma piano utaske atufautia kuna Ya Ya so and then but my main sound is is influenced by hip-hop plus R&B plus afro-pop Right So I merge them ya You merge them So you're versatile you're not just like na kuna ale hip-hop heads wzi mambiya kitu I zi toa ma piano ato umpele kwa pia ni hardcore hip-hop you know like na hip-hop na apon doiko he'll never like aki toa ma gini he feels like a sell out aso afro-apana mi mi zi wezi wuzaum tu mi mi ni hip-hop and that's it so it's good that you're versatile and of course about blow you featured e-3 ok e ok 3-60 3-60 how did that happen because he's really really dope I checked him out Ya so we have this I don't know if you guys are familiar with an app called Spotify Live ya we have Spotify here there's an app called now Spotify Live so it's more like clubhouse if you know clubhouse ya in a clubhouse it's more like clubhouse so we have a music community there where I have so many friends all the way from Australia UK US like I have friends all over actually my next song is coming out next month I've featured a guy from New York we met each other in the same room I met 3-60 ya you guys met on an app on an app here hi nice you see like tech super amazing the world is now a village na kumika we used to be told the world is a global village na tunakata so una patanam se namu tu kwa appam je meet in real life and then you work on a song we worked on that song and it took like two days to finish the song I sent him my part he sent his part back then I mixed it trust each other he sent it to me and he blocked it and he sent it to me it doesn't click in my mind cause atau kiba na shida na kuna more than 500 songs somewhere in Melalatua so like and come away nimsani there is no way you can do that to another artist here come away nimsani proper ya ya so here is shida so you link up on an app so the song is called blow and it's a hip-hop song and it's like doing really well and then right after that you released an album was that part of the album no blow was not actually blow came after the EP the EP was the project where Kikpenzi is in is a song called nafro music is life gomba kuna gomba is your favorite they so used to jump to gomba somewhere they used to be this gomba they smile this gmsm this way and then they skip nzi so that's a project by itself it's called killing ish collection I don't know if you are wenginesi but let's just say ish killing ish collection so what is like how many tracks it has seven songs seven songs so how long have you been working on that like how long did it take you to finish the whole compilation I would say around six months everything came together in six months and it was a very good project because it was my first real project by myself that I arranged everything and brought everything together you produced yourself some songs then I produced myself Smile and Kikpenzi all my productions and then the rest I had producers coming we do this he does a guitar for me I do this and that's how the project came together you did the whole project in Denmark because the reason I'm asking you featured so I was like what's up what's up I did the whole thing in Denmark actually in my bedroom the whole thing that's why that's why I did that in Denmark but you can release you did a tiktok challenge you did that in Kenya you incorporated that somehow my main aim in music here I want to highlight the African culture I want to highlight Kenya as my country I want to highlight the food the African food I want to highlight Africa in general so that's why everything you gonna see me do it has African vibes all the time here it doesn't matter it's a hip-hop song but everything is based on Africa so that's my main theme as an artist just to highlight Africa for example in Denmark they love our music I stand out when I make African music because they really love the music and we love their music but we don't love our own you see they support their own and they still support us so that's my aim I want Kenyan artists who are supported in our 20th year in the same way that's my main aim and you gonna tell us about the next upcoming project I really wanna hear about that but let's shout out the guys who are tuning in right here before we carry on with the interview right here
