And he has decided to help other African artists. Right? So that is a good initiative. Ume sema after Asha Mtoleangoma knows us as the media. We do our part by playing her music.

Who says that? So. Nya, ya almost jayskia. Nga nga sufi nga jita unscripted. Right. So today when I'm scripted we have a Kenyan artist. He is a hip-hop artist. He's been in this scene for a long time. Ya. And he is behind the hashtag play ke music. He started that hashtag officially a few years ago. Dr. Sae me kuza kukwa official this year. But he started the initiative back in the day and finally it's here. Everybody is talking about play ke music. And he's also producer. He has a record label. He's worked with various artists. MSID also a new engisana kua game. And currently he's working on his album. It's called the Statement. And he'll be telling us more about the album. Nga pehne sa bongakino ukusu wa toa hip-hopia. Kusagizin god ina kwangana ni. He'll be telling us that. Ya, thank you. Yes. Right. Una po doa po doa. Maski meja rol mzimo na zainu. Please utwambien. Right. So I'm talking about Kevo Kefos. Come on. He deserves a big shout out. A big shout out to Kevo Kefos. Ya. He's been in the game. He's doing his thing. So yes. Let's have a sit down with him and see what he has to tell us. Thank you so much for coming. I know it's your first time on the show. But ya, we'll be singing for us. I want Kevo to sing for us. I mean, I mean, rapa yesi singa. But we'll see. Right?

Ina ga rules by the way. So, and the show is kariyoki. So, very good. But ya, welcome. So how long has it been again in the game? I mean like, I don't know because maybe you can tell us. For those guys who are just watching. You know every show has its own following. So for the guys who've never, they've been living under a rock. They don't know you. How long has it been? This year. This year it's been 10 years since 2009. It's been that long? That's quite a while. We've been here for a while. We've been here. We've been here a while. Right. So, I want to know who are some of your influences when you got to the game. Who are you listening to and what actually just motivated you to get to the game and start doing this? I have a lot of influences. Some of them are hip-hop artists. Some of them are not. But generally my influences kwaiseka wukoflani, maumau. Right, maumau. And they have their bug. I don't know. I thought it was their bug, don't we? They're actually restructuring polipole. That's a great thing. I met some of them over the weekend at Kanta Is Funeral. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I met them back in the lab trying to get things in order. So, that kind of hip-hop I met them. Right. I met them at home. I know. So, I got my influences kwaiseka kwaiseka wukoflani, maumau. I got my influences. I used to listen to some masimaira kidogo. So, I have a lot of influences kwaiseka wukoflani. I don't know what to say because they bring something different from kenyemimu nye kwaiseka wukoflani. I've been a fan of you for the longest time, I think. I've been listening to you back in the day when hip-hop was still hip-hop. Thanks. But then, right now, we have people changing the way they used to do things. Okay, I'm not putting you in the spotlight but we have other artists even trying to do that. Do you think it's really hard to just make it as a hip-hop artist basically doing hip-hop alone? Because most hip-hop artists, they are really great but they are underground. So, do you have to change your style for you to make it in this scene? You have to evolve and adapt to make it in anything. Not just in music. So, just like in any other endeavor or in any other industry as time goes, the norm evolves. So, in hip-hop, you don't have to change your core values but you can maybe just change your approach because when you do different age groups and you get into the market eventually because right now, me, I'm 29. So, by the time I'm 35, there's someone who's 15 there who will be already 20. So, in the spirit of just including everyone in your fan base or in your listener base, you just try and reach out. You don't need to change yourself or become a child so that you can appeal to kids. You can just speak their language. And still press the message. And how about the... Okay, as much as that's true, we still have some of the funds not just in the hip-hop scene. In other genres of music, you find that people, you have the funds that are loyal to you and they follow your style the way it was but the moment you change just a little bit. Let me speak about rock. For rock music, we say, you are a rock star and then you go pop. And now your followers, it's like you betrayed them. They're like, no, we don't know the new Kevokafors. We don't know what he's doing. What would you tell someone like that? Someone who's used to the Kevokafors of 2009 and we have mumble rappers and we have other... So what would you tell someone like that? Like if you try not to change who you are the way you've said, maybe just find a new way of passing the message across and they still don't get that. What would you tell someone like that? First of all, if you're an artist, you're supposed to find balance. Because you have your core fans when you say ma. So come on in insani, to find balance in maintaining your identity which is like the one that made gages discover you Ant keeping up with the current trends and all that. So nīvi tu, bato pannaize zamgam ziki? Astronements don't listen to K-Force. Like they listen to K-Force music, not to K-Force. So tuna do.
