 Baka Rajas baide anashindoku. Kulere it go bala. I'm sure you're having a good time back at home. I go by the name Karan Jisa and you can find me on all social media platforms as on Facebook Karan Kang. I mean Karan Kairi to Suli and Instagram is Karan Kang and on YouTube is Karan Jisa. Yes, today I have a very special guest in studio because this guy does not is not like recognizing me but I kept it at that. He comes from Yes, just like the song, what a perfect intro to this. He is a producer as well but then again he's been doing big things back at home and so we have some CMG stuff in studio and of course His name is Jungle but you don't spell it as you pronounce it is D, apostrophe and then Jungle So maybe let's start from there Jungle Like Uli Kama Pajena yu Jina Jungle First of all, good morning Good morning, you told me you woke up at what time? I woke up at Kitukafu 20 am and by the way I got late man I don't know what's the problem man but anyways Jungle D, Jungle You can say it depends on how you feel But why is the D silent? Because it's too long Oh No pun intended It used to be when I was growing up my second name was Changu So there used to be this famous dance Jungle So it went from Changu to Jungle then my brother was creating all this my bigger brother then there was this bad guy in the hood who was like the guy at that time everybody used to be scared of him used to be called Jungle exactly how I spell mine D, apostrophe, Jungle So it went from Jungle to Jungle Jungle, Jungle at first I was like no where would you call me that I don't like that guy he's a bully and all that stuff I kinda embraced it that's what everybody calls me for a nickname and I used it for my creative side to create another independent character called Jungle So Jungle is supposed to be like the guy, the hip-hop a villain the bad guy, text us a call unless the booty call Okay So you guess what me and you are neighbors we used to be neighbors So we started at section 9 Represent So tell us more about your kha history and the records from the kha days back in the day because I'm pretty sure you started I started looking from my career music career early enough as early as I was 17, 16 and I remember at the time there was only one studio in Tika still is one studio I didn't have enough money to pay for studio, so this guy was like, yo, do you want me to give you a free recording? I was like, yeah, it was like help me push this artist by taking the music to radio stations and every time the music got played I used to get like a bonus session, bonus session. Then after some times I noticed that it was too little, too little for nothing, then I started hustling and thank God I had a lot of ideas of how I could make money and I saved up for my first mixtape and it changed everything, after 10 I was like, yo, everybody wanted to record me, we thought me paying them used to be like if I record at your studio then you're growing man, you gotta have this kid So you are a big package, you see you're not only bringing the track to record but you're also hyping up the studio, you're hyping up the group and the people working around you Okay, so let me know about what you love about Tikka, because ume imbasana, pakaya your YouTube channel is, so Django 237, in case you didn't want to know, that is our code So I grew up in Tikka and I love to play so much because I was born and raised in Tikka, everything from my mom to my pops, it's rooted in Tikka Like if you ask the local community they probably know my pops because of his participation in the church and what, he's a big influence there Everybody in Tikka knows everybody in Tikka? Yeah exactly and most of the people know my mom, even the street kids because she used to teach in a public school in Tikka and she was a good teacher I guess because most people still remember her So I feel like the same way they have a very big impact in the city, I wanted to have a big impact too And when I was growing up there was nobody to look up to, there was nobody who was saying like, yo I come from Tikka, do that And funny enough Amani is from Tikka but she has never ever called me I know a couple of guys that's from Tikka, but they are never proud of it, I don't know why So I was like, I want to be the first guy that will be proud of where he comes from And that gave me a good tag name because everybody was like, yo Tikka, Tikka, Tikka And since then everywhere we go we've performed so many places, Eldoret, Narok, Meru, where And everywhere we go we're like, Niki se wa Tikka, everybody's like, Tikka It's like Tikka is everywhere, it's just the place, it's the music now and the culture So good vibes, good vibes all through Great, so let's jump right into your work What inspires you rapping? I mean, Uli Anzaaje, what told you maze, this is what I want to do and this is it Okay, when I started I was a rapper and only a rapper So I can say I'm an artist there because I can do so many things besides rapping But when I started, excuse me, I was a rapper and only a rapper and the fact that I used to freestyle Most people know me from freestyles I was so good at freestyle that I remember when I was in high school I went to Kenyatta University Culture Week and I won a rap battle and I was in high school I was so damn young man, I always watched the video and I'm like nah, that's not me And then after that I happened to join KU afterwards And through my participation in hip-hop culture and bringing all the rappers together and stuff It made me a public figure in the school and it catapulted me to radio Like KU is a very, very, very big place and I actually thank everybody from KU That bumped my music in the first mixtapes because KU has people from everywhere, basically everywhere Yeah, from all corners of the country It helped my music, they fuse everywhere It's always weird that I don't think I'm where I'm supposed to be And I have fans even in places like Kisumu Street Karba Network And they can't perform, I'm like how do you even know my music? No me I think you have a great style but I want you to define it yourself Because I can't do it for you So kindly define your style maybe I mean, bitchwa is, I don't know, I've never heard of that word But I love it and I'm stuck to it I'm just there like bitchwa too Bitchwa too So tell us about your style My style is inspired by the hood I'd like to call myself a social experimentalist Because sometimes to get inspiration I usually do some petty stuff And I was up on the took-took just to get me through Githurai Somewhere I wasn't supposed to pass But I want to pass through there to feel what's going on Because the more you're successful The more it detaches you from being present in the hood So your music, you can stop being real If you do not focus on how you get that motivation and stuff And for me, I like speaking for average people in the hood That's the voice of Django That's the power he has So my style is hip-hop and music generally Inspired by things that I see and people experience From a basic Kenyan perspective It's nothing fictional We're driving Ferraris, we're doing what now We're looking to Nataphtakolo To look up for 20 Because that's what we're doing I'll ask you this question in private Because you can ask that question right now We'll share Nataphtakolo that for 20 Anyway, you'll answer me later So, wait Kuna bicha 2 So you've done one as a documentary And the other one is more like a track Basically what difference does it make To have the same title of a song But the other one is a story There are both stories but one is shorter The other one is long Actually, Bicha 2 Was from the mixtape TTC That was my first mixtape My debut mixtape It had a lot of positive impact in the hood Because people related to it They liked how real it was Everybody was like That's me man That's me looking for that kolo I like how he's saying it That's how I feel That made the song blow up Proportion from what I expected I didn't expect it to go that way It was such a big deal That Bicha 2 became that song Everybody was like I was like what's your name I'm like Django Then I'm like Oh Bicha 2 So it became Mr. Bicha Something like that It helped me grow So now that I'm in a position Where I can do better recording And with better quality I thought that first of all I wanted to do the remix Of which I already did It's out there Fichering Oxido And Flaco Denero And it's such a good song And from that I wanted also To make a short film So that people could feel Where the inspiration for the music came And thank God I found good actors Like Dway B Farouk from Taidi High And Citizen Royal Media And they did a good job In putting the story into work And I liked the enthusiasm They had Because I called them Was like you know I have this project I've written this script But I haven't Because I'm not good at writing scripts Would you come and do something And they were like Ya man I don't even need a script Just tell me the story And apparently It's a simple story So it was easy to implement That's how it came into being Okay, so that's where Your production comes in You're not just a rapper But also you are creating content Great So remember the challenge I told you we're going to carry out Ya It's about that time It's about that time Yes So I just want you to Turn your back a little bit Okay So ya You can see the screen behind you Okay On why in the morning We have a segment called Rate the bomb Where we're just gonna Give you that bomb Okay And you're gonna rate it out of 10 And ya If you're feeling it If you're not You're gonna let us know Let's go Okay, great So you can probably Read it aloud See, I wanna hold money In my hand like a dollar Ndanyangu itchune kama tatu zaronga Skuzi na na points Nsupatu na bonga Apto sho ni kikusho Bebe mi Ndonga So itisham zingalo Mi niko Mi konanyuki Situ ko mombasa Zitu konanyuki That's a good line On a road trip Next one is here Ndonga So itisham zingalo Bebe mi Ndonga It's nice It's nice And actually Give this bar Right here Because it had punch lines It got me laughing I like punch lines And things that Make me think out of the box Jump zinga Learn konanyuki Situ ko mombasa na Out konanyuki That's nice That's nice That actually carries all the marks in there Are you for real Yeah Out of 10 Out of 10 Because it's all here All here Yeah So 6 out of 10 Let's see who the artist is Revelation coming through Bebe It's Mbebe Bebe It's Mbebe Nice Nice So 6 out of 10 Bebe for you Great So the next one is Wakipo Me na play Speed kama kwenye PLA Kwenye perse si delay Unstopable NGG Na henyama Na henyama NGG Ni weke mambo ok Ok Mahalipazuri ni stay Michongosona Pei pei Ubongo wango heavyweight kwenye Romani si putei Kile usichu weza push Niki push everyday Na bad man on the way Actually I'd give it I wouldn't be mean I would give it 5 out of 4 Out of 10 Because it's basically rhyming There's nothing else Like when bogling about it It's basically rhymes PLA delay NGG So final score Final score 5 or 4 What's your final score? Let's give him 5 Are you sure? It's not me It's you bruh Ok let's give him 5 I'll give him 5 5 5 out of 10 It's just rhyme Nothing like Mind blowing Nothing like There's no punchline Yeah I love punchlines You can have a punchline Great so let's see who the artist is I hope we won't be shocked Chinbees Probably it's because it's Chinbees Because I find like Chinbees hip-hop is like Pop hip-hop It's not that complicated Probably it's because it's written When he's saying it Maybe it has a flow But when it's like a Migos rap When you write it it's petty But when he's saying it At least it's got a flow So great Wait let us know who you were planning to Work with in the future You told me you have an album coming up He has two albums guys by the way And a few mixtapes And he's telling me how mixtapes sometimes You just go in or out Talking about your life and everything But with an album You need to find a specific topic to And theme to focus on I actually have two mixtapes And one album First mixtapes is called T-H-C T-K-C-T-H-C Second one was T-T-T-T And what I like about mixtapes What I like about mixtapes Is because you're not bound to something You're actually putting out a body of work That doesn't have themes and what And people like that because They're real hip-hop fans Like it raw Even me I like a lot of music from mixtapes More than I do from albums When it comes to my favorite artists Because I feel when they're working on mixtapes They're free to talk about anything But when they're working on albums They're narrowed down to speak about And not all of them can make it So that leaves out outstanding people Like J. Cole Even J. Cole used to have great mixtapes I like his mixtapes more than his albums I have an album called Unchained It dropped last year I had the pleasure to work with big artists And one of the big artists I worked with Was Zaka He's actually my mentor Because when I was growing up I used to work with his jams I know all his jams from world to world And when he was recording I was so anxious to meet him I was like tell me about the stories Tell me about Ukufladi How did he used to do it It was so much fun So future plans would you plan to work with? Who I plan to work with I actually I'm planning on I feel like hip-hop is kind of Male saturated And that narrows down the audience To mostly male audience And a lot of chicks don't get the chance To vibe the music Probably because it's too raw Oh we only focus on one side of the audience And the other side So because of that We started transitioning From being just a rapper To being an artist That way I wanted to make my music diverse Because I noticed after some years in the studio I noticed man you can do EDM You can do what nene But the rule is never compromise on the quality So when I come back to hip-hop I'm still as raw as I'm supposed to be When I'm doing singing and stuff I'm as male as I'm supposed to be So for that the rapper I mean the artist who I'd like to work with Or Blinky Because I feel like the level of creativity Is different from what a typical rapper Will bring So would you classify Fena as The top best rapper? I think Fena's got flavor And I like the flavor If you put Fena with a good rapper It will work like magic And on the other hand Blinky Blinky's always got the beats And he's always got the vibe man I'm always like oh Blinky If you're a chance man you probably would regret it Okay Blinky Wherever you are bro Kindly reach out to Yeah but I don't know where it finds you Reach out to Django because he's ready for you He is ready for you Now we have come to the end of our interview I hope you guys loved this I hope you guys are down for Django Bida nani ambea peoples mamisha him Kwa matatu ati west na kujukujukaya Pa na mimi you know I mean that is how a true artist should be As in na na treat ma fansaw na respect Because you get that respect back Actually I get inspiration from fans There was this time I was almost giving up I was like what am I doing Sometimes this music doesn't play There was this time The reason why I notice my music is so powerful I met this donda Donda I look really to him Matiai niloh I think the fairs hiked up Like overnight So some place I was supposed to go with 20 bob na I was supposed to go with 50 bob Na I had coins I had 30 bob So I paid him 20 bob He was like oh man it's 50 I was like man maybe nukutumi impesa It was a tassel then it was like Tulea I was like why Why did he cheer Then after on it was like When it Django I was like what you notice me So you get free stuff But at least it was a good show Of courtesy and I really really Appreciate it We'll be humble back at home Kula humble pae you'll be good Now jumboji These are comments from our facebook timeline And jumboji anasema Hey ji from Muranga Show ikotu sana Ikotu tu sana Nichaza klasik by jumboji It's on youtube okay we know And then Mike oji ziki Anasema ametudro piasongia Ke hapopia we'll check it out We'll check it out Basically that's just it Right Great Music Let's jump right into music Kusbabu we are done This is why in the morning Do make sure you check us out On our facebook, instagram, youtube And where else twitter And yes everywhere everywhere I go by the name Karan Raju Django Django You got that right okay on to the music
