 I told you guys! I told you! I told you! I told you! I told you! I told you! Ni wanbia, we are not playing today. We did not come to play. And of course, these are all about hip-hop. I love just all about hip-hop. And throwbacks. Yes. Throwbacks in hip-hop. Throwbacks in hip-hop. Of course. You hang out with me. Your favorite presenter is Lucky Idol. My name is P.H.Y.L.I. in E.J.E.A. And feeling Jinn hang out with... The big doctor, DJ Epic, can you epic the DJ? Uki pandam nizam wicha dakitare wa. Wa masanturi na konbia. Lo tu kona omusani. Tu kona omusani? Yeah. Aha, ame pandan begge. Hey. Anyway, we have a singer, rapper, songwriter, performing and recording artist all the way from Nigeria. And he goes by Lolli B. Can you give that for Lolli B one time? That's what's up. Yeah, how you doing? How you doing? I'm doing. Okay, good to have you. I'm Kav, still. Oh, you're still Kav. Yeah, but I'm good, I'm good. Right. You're from Nigeria, but you're currently in Kenya. How long have you been in Kenya? And because I've seen best of you in music, I've had you speak a little bit of Swahili here and there, so... It doesn't sound like a newcomer. Yeah. No, really. It's because I used to have a lot of Kenyan friends in Malaysia when we were studying in Malaysia. That's why I cry. So, that's why you know a little bit of Swahili here. Yeah. So, I love that. All right, one thing my Niger friends complain about when they come to Tufa for is the food. They're like, you guys don't know how to make good your love. I do not know. How do you have the same experience or how you love in Kenyan food, how far? For me, I love experiences, new experiences, so I love to explore. You can try to make your culture with someone else's culture. It is a culture for a reason. I'm telling you. But therefore I had a lot to say about Kenyans, a lot. No, me and my fan of chapati. Chapati has always been my favorite meal. So, do you have chapati in Nigeria? No. No, right? Yeah, I see they find it so it's different. And you guys have Fufu and our Ugaris a bit are tougher compared to the Ugaris. That's why I keep having problems. The Fufu and Ugaris, you guys are getting it twisted. The only thing in Nigeria you can compare to Ugari is gari. Yeah. We call it eba. That's the only thing you can call it because it's strong like that. Yeah, but Ugari is too strong. And we don't eat ours, we egg sauce. What do you eat? You as well. We soup. Are you guys, the way you mix soup is so different? Yeah, we have different types. You know, the way you guys cook, we literally call it here mashakura because I'm not even playing because you guys will take eggs and cook with fish and you'll cook with beef and you mix it all together. And we never do that. You do it here, oh my goodness. Fish nanyama takulamot. It's trouble, you know, but you make it work. Seriously, she take out like this December I did a cookout with Jeff Alejandro. Yeah, yeah. So I made noodles with chicken and omelet by the side. And then I made another noodles with beef for another noodles. It was awesome. Okay. We did not see that. But you also love to go. What's your favourite meal to make? For me, it depends. But I always love anything that has high protein. I just love making it like chicken breast or beef on yama choma. On yama choma? You even mentioned it in your song. That was so slick. Yama choma and that was like. This is a tag from Nairobi to Kenya too? What's that tag line? Naijia to Kenya. East side Nairobi. Chilling with Kenya and jail. Yeah, you hear that, that's amazing. I will forever rep omodja east side. I told you. I told you. I'm telling you. So on this show, it's just that these are, they are still a bit fresh, but we usually have a segment on this show, on a day like this every past day, we call it our spito. So we usually have two rappers come through. So it's always east side but west side. I'm always repping east side. East team west side. So now that you said omodja. Omodja Peter, she took me as family. So it's been a blessing working with Milashie. And he's part of your EP, which we'll talk about in a few. But first let's take it back a little bit. Let's talk about your background in music. When did all this begin? Because you do drill and at the same time you also incorporate a little bit of Afro bits, Afrofusion right there. So tell us about that. I've been writing songs for some artists in Malaysia. Sometimes I write for record labels and producers. So I've always been camera shy and all that. So I was like, you know what? Last day I'm just going to try to do my own thing and bring it out and show people that I can actually serve them a buffet. So what I serve them my EP is a buffet. A different sound, different genre. To tell them I can do it all. Alright, I love that. Another thing you spoke about is the fact that your music inspired by your own challenges, the ones you've experienced and pain you spoke about that. But I don't know if you're comfortable enough to talk about that, but maybe just in a few words, what are some of those challenges you spoke about? At the point in time, you know, being in Nigeria comes with a whole lot of difficulties. You get stereotype instantly and you get to do with the stereotype. So the only way I could deal with the whole stereotype and then when you go to Malaysia now you deal with racism and stereotype at the same time. But at the same time, for someone like me, I always find a way to voice it out whether through music or acting. So I don't keep it down. You hate me, it's okay. I'm cool with it. For me I'm comfortable, I'm used to it now. So it doesn't face me however you feel about me or my country. But regardless, my country is still doing their thing like musically, boxing wise, UFC. So there are still good ones trying to do good things out there. So the hatred is just people just jealousy. You think so? Because everyone is always like I've got power in Nigeria. Nigerians are bad news. Everywhere you go Nigeria is Nigeria. That's the same thing they say in Malaysia and yet, all the Hokiaw Sturros after the Nigerian boys here in Kenya, most Kenyan men are not trying to act like Nigerians so they will be accepted. So that women will like them. But most of the time we're just being us. The only thing that Nigerians go down to is not giving a fuck. That's how it is. We don't care but we do our things. Right. Now, because of time, I want to talk about your EP. It just came out and your EP is sort of Villain. Who's the Villain? Who's the Villain in this story? Are you the Villain of your own story? Who's the Villain? Are they the fans, the critics? Who's the Villain? Nah, for me I have a song there called The Villain is everybody, I was speaking for myself or I feel like everybody can relate whereby you're that good guy you keep doing good and then people keep making you feel shitty for doing good and then you're like you know what, I'm no longer the victim I'm the Villain. You are now the Villain. You crossed over. Like any energy you give me I'll give it to you back. Right. So you reciprocate. If someone gives you good energy you'll give 100% If it's bad you're going to Yeah, I'm just going to ignore it. I hear that. Right, another thing I want you to talk about is the artwork. There's a song called Weird of the EP but before we talk about the artwork was really creepy though can you talk to us about that? I don't think we have it but it's on the song. You can call it you can call your EP Weird if the art doesn't match it. You just say the EP? Yes I did. You saw the artwork I'm talking about? Yes, definitely. This is my guy. I've seen everything. That was a 3D art only because I like creative artworks like Ellen's and so I decided to try and put it there and put my girls in it and see how it looks and because like I said I'm being considered weird because of where I came from and travelling around the world gave me a whole wide exposure so I feel like me being that weird put me like 10,000 steps ahead of a lot of people so that's why I said let me accept what I'm being called I'm weird. You're weird so you accept being weird you accept being weird and he loves aliens? Yes Do you know aliens what the other day? Yes You have that He has an alien touch He actually has an alien touch and this is the alien inspiration like if you take the bag it has half alien and half me but you guys I'm not even lying It was in Miami right? You can see in Miami they were like over almost 100 almost 100 I've never seen so many but I've never they say it's just people fighting 4 people fighting they were like and guys who were there they said it was in a mall people coming from a mall they said they saw aliens they were like giants they were like 10 feet tall beings but there were a couple of them but then would you take a video? Yes I want to take a video I want to take a video I need an evidence Yes there is no way but the video they showed it was not clear it was just like like usual but then it actually makes sense because they were like almost 100 vehicles in those cop it's not like one cop let's say like the four of them and they are all armed and there was a there was a patrol the police also had the chopper there was also in the air so why would they bring a chopper for people who are fighting and then they cut off electricity 30% of Miami did not even have electricity guys were like those were aliens they need to come clear people who saw them they need to come clear yeah they need to come clear the people who saw them they said they didn't have feet though they were like those things were just like moving but without feet it was weird and he said he likes aliens so yeah people are here I would just anyway anyway that is off topic if you didn't know the story you could just go search about it I think everybody has done a story about it right about now and speaking of your EP the one that just came out you have you have featured some Kenyan artists so let's talk about that how did you guys link up first of all I came to Kenya around January 8 so I was in that productive linking up with people or socializing so when I went back to Nigeria and I was like Kenyan Jewel artist and then what I saw was Milashie's music Cha Cha Slide featuring Mr. Right from Brooklyn Boys so I texted the cinematographer for it and he linked me up with Milashie and we clicked we became more like family and then we worked on the song and then my heart became slim slim yeah slim someone just brought him to my house they were like yo Loli you need to do a song with this guy he's good his name is slim me I was like I don't want to work with him but I just want to stay on my own and then when the nigga started rapping I was like he's got it he's good but I feel like he can do way more singing so I told him bro I sing he said yes and then I played the instrumental he sang you played the instrumental so you play okay wow let's finish I like you you can sing let's hit the studio and that's how it made it happen and that's why the song is the last song oh nice so how many instruments do you play now that you've mentioned that how many musical instruments do you play I only play one piano I guess just piano right I'm so good at guessing someone will sing I guess piano let's talk about the EP what is the whole story influenced by like we said it's a little bit of everything here and there but mainly what is the theme of the EP is let's just say the EP is just a way of me being petty I just summarized my life because my whole life is being like I'm being bullied for most of my life and whereby relationship, family so I always try to touch the relationship part and then family in general you know like you Kenyans when you guys come back from abroad your family will treat you nice now everybody expect a whole lot of things from you but for us Nigerians when you go abroad whether you go to study a friend of mine who we did high school he texted me he said Loli I hope you're not going to come back with degree certificate saying oh I went to school I'm like what do you mean bro your mates are coming back with Range Overs and G-Wagons what are you doing so now you're coming back you're dealing with friends that you know way back then expecting you to do way much and now family cousins all of them yo what did you bring back and none of them ever checked up on you since you were outside when you were away exactly so I had to put all of that in a song that's why I was like I told my mum was like no you stay you just came back to Nigeria after how many years you stay I was like nope booked my flight came to Kenya I prefer to chill with my homies I know from Kenya than to chill with people I barely know half of my life in Nigeria I know right I feel like that is so weird like you expect someone like someone is studying even if they are walking they should come from them from their heart they are like oh I got you this you shouldn't be picky like oh you should buy me a G-Wagons really but they don't know how much as you are wondering no back home we don't have any schools 17 year old is driving a GLK what excuse do you have 17 year old eh yeah oh wow must be like so the pressure back home is a lot in my other life I want to be in Nigeria anyway be careful what you wish okay okay okay I took it back alright I took it back it is amazing by the way what you have been able to do in such a short period how long was the AP in the making it took me it didn't take me couple of months but like yeah it took me they just say yeah just say yeah because people have years it takes years yeah that people take time especially if you are moving from one country to another country that you are not so familiar with I think you did pretty well alright so when are the you know the video is dropping while I was in Mombasa that's why I keep on telling people I didn't go for vacation but most of my friends don't believe that I had the opportunity to shoot with Chef Ali for Nala noodles and kuk studio or whatever and then I was opportunity to shoot two Mizi videos in a day I'm a Mifule and man like Loli what does I'm a mafulemi it is my son name it means it
