 The East Circuit, and as promised, Sasa Basi is in the building do metoka kupafom, but before we get to that kumbuka, unazatumayo shoutouts, Zot is a Happy New Year on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. That's on Y244 channel. I'm at the East Circuit. Our VP, did you talk? Yeah, yeah, I said I'm at my request. Exactly. Nah, I wish you. Sasa Basi. Ya, that's it. Kaributana kwa East Circuit. Wesim, geni apu, kuni wako. Amisum, geni. Sindio againi. Nakhwa na sandals, niks temga ku zut na pajangizu. Yo no, I was telling to Saba Basi earlier, unajo I almost forget how tall you are, how tall are you? Sixto. Buda. That's insane. Onoko gabi bol. Yandaw ni m Kuni minchi zabaki ki asi. Ya, Kujibangbatu sahi. Omaku kira kogo pro, asi. Asi. Asi. Taku tehna. Eh, ni sta kumia tehna. Ni umen kia hi school, sta kumia tehna. New Hitch. Goma za kwa zuka migi na kama na panchi. Actually, I love to look at nongi something earlier before we get into the interview, I want to ask you. The Kenyan music industry, there's something they're calling the new school. So, isima lambalolos and all that, isima goma zanya, they're not really making sense. Pole, we're good, we're good. But they're not really making all that sense. What do you think about them as a rapper? To be honest, na mi kwanza nile watwa, wana doki, I think muse ma kila, kila goma ina audience yaki. So, wana doi, ata mi goma zango, kuna watu zengina aita wa bamba. So, kwa kina e... Ya, kuna wana doi, kila mtu waga test yaki. So, to me, how me think wana do, because wana jibamba. That's the main thing, muse ma gaka. As long as we monee wana jibamba kwa crafty ako, usidzali jo atu ingini. As long as you're having fun. Ya, kwa wana jibamba, wana doi, isi kuwe fost. So, wana jibamba, me think wacha wendele. Because na doi kila, kila, kila kituna, kuna mtu wana ina bamba, ata we kuna ftu na kwa bamba, kuna ftu zengina bamba. So, I feel like wacha wendele. Ini na abamba. Ya, wabamba as you got. Ini abamba, she did. Ya, ya. Said she did, laki wad do kuna ftu zengi esta abamba. So, what have you been up to? Because the last time when you were here, you went back to the States. Ya. So, what's good? What's good? Nime kwa ni kire liz. Mangoma na ni kwa ni kyu, kwa sumo jisei na akun 2ku push brandi angu. Ngaku get a wider audience. And to get to a pointi enye. na, na penetret ni markete oku and piyoko in the, in the states. Ya, so that's, you know, now I call it off eventually maybe na compile, maybe ni compile AP or an album. We're waiting for that. Big up. Na sasata ni kuleze ni, ni, uh, what can I call it? Ni ni nuna ningumu sana, ni neneza kazi amtuku ingia, the markete Kenya sasa, as an outsider. You're not truly an outsider, but you're coming into the market. It's like, uh, Vilea Mistaizia na zengia uku, kwa Kenya market. Ono na ni ni neneza kwa ena kazi amtuku ingia? Your question is tricky. Because, um, I feel like, kama tungiku kwa, unazokasa utarfi kwa na chezaga more of their music, kwa media and everything. I think tungiku kwa na push more of our music, then kwa easier for, kwa kuna talent, umu nene na zua, very many people in Niazulikani. So kama tungiku kwa na push more of our music, as in si semi ati zingini ni si chezue, kwa so, that's the beauty of Kenya, which I think in a gift and a castle at the same time, kwa stuko diverse. But atua wene musema kwa katambi, tunde north lakini trudi, trudi home bad, home ni ii. So was dua. I don't need to stress, to stress kizuzu ni nai jasim baya, to the lakini to prioritize na. That's it. Kwa sababua, thank you. Into that type of thing. Na sheng kwa. Those beats na fanya bodi na move. But then let me ask you this, have you ever been tempted to go that short, because kumeku na a certain type of popularity with rap music squeezy, more English rappers within Kenya? As in... Ha, ni ia unji Kenya wana fanya. Actually, nisha fanya nga maka, but you know dua authenticity na fiil ni kaha ikwa, kwa so dua niko, kwa so na dua kuna atuengi wana fanya zongoma in that sense to me, outside of Kenya, to me say in America, so it's like already na compete na how, na what makes you unique. Kwa so na dua music, it's a universal language regardless of... Where you come from, what you speak. Yeah, what you speak. So it's like your authenticity up on dugu yon doktu atu tafta. So ata teme, ata teme ftikakata mbe kuna kuna madaflanu fanya zumba, Samo in Miami, yeni hadzuik, so hee lani ni, but hee zoni ngoma zina mba mba. And yon doktu sayili ni push towards, ni stick na what is authentic to me, what is... Being true to yourself and where you come from. Ah, I like that, because... Okay, I get what you mean. It's like they're stealing someone else's flow. Not really stealing, as in kuzo dua muse magad, there's nothing new kufi face of it. You know, you letuna una, una, I guess you borrow, lafuna mito. Then you emulate. Yeah, there you go. So bach na feel ni ka, at the end of the day, what makes you authentic, what makes you represent palu na taka, kuzo na dua, saite me, me, especially based in the states, ni ye kwa na rapka, aw, already upon a compete na a million people. And waki nuli za saia story hangu. O dua, ita makes sense, ni ki anza kwa mbin, ni ki anza kwa mbin o story na different, ni ni nene, I feel, I got 20 kuango. Mi yon dua ni kwa, na before it, the thing is before nili kwa na isa, andika more in English than Swahili, then with time, kaji funza. Ya, afika kwa the reverse asa. Ya, bach na isa fanya both, but I feel like it's more authentic, it's more accepted, we don't have to accept more. Uki fanya na shen, stays true to where you are from. With that regard, how would you describe your genre? Mrs. Gibox. How would you describe, kwa wuki kwa skia cha, kata ambi, they are very different. Initially, ni nge sema, ni nge sema tu feel good music in a sense, kwa inisha ni nge sema, nili kwa kind of boxed in certain beats, but thanks to producers kwa waidaka na gigs, waka ni push, kutoka kwanza kufkiriya outside the box, at this point, as in, mi mu waga nili, mu waga open na sema, kisa, whatever beat, whatever flow ni nge zanini na na experiment na ya. So, sii ni sema, ni na genre pa se, ni nge sema tu feel good music. Feel good music. Awesome stuff. So, before we get to the track that you hear to promote today, I want to talk about gigs and widaka. What's a good relationship in music. So, he's going to be involved. What's in stock in the e- E-Pee just expects anything and everything, kus the good thing, the good thing of working with gigs he's very versatile. So, haiko box, haiko ile, kus ukiskiya, yendali, pretty much, other than juli, when widaka will produce, I'll produce all of my work and everything is different. As in, tumikuwa na relationship for 10 years so it's life. Sii waga tu ni anakuza ida na mumbi oki this is what I'm thinking, the idea you're going to have. Ya, I'm behaving, then we just bounce ideas a lot. It's easy. It's very easy to work with him. That's the main thing, kus your growth, wadzo mi, mu sema, I grow every day, wadzo. As in this, kif kia pointin ko comfortable then, kuna shida. Ya, so I grow every day and that's my main thing, kuh grow. Ya. Storia kusainiwa, would you be interested? Because a lot of people wana kwa gana sema, in Kenya I don't want to be signed, I just want to release singles. Kuna zashi kilapata fadali? Santi. Kusainiwa. Gigza kisema, ok, now I'm signing. Would you do it? Of course. Kani gigza ya. Kani gigza. Kani gigza, kus wna zwa, visionietu imetokambali, as in, yen imetok na zelewana, nana zwa visionia, muna minalia visioniake. So, I can't hear ya sa, but anybody else, then it has to be something ina makes sense, na tuna discuss, but at this point, I don't think so. Ya. So sa, this Katambe. Aha. Kama kama kama Katambe. Katambe, wut wami abut Katambe? What's the inspiration behind the song? Katambe, justo, big shout out here. Tulko kwa studio. Then Tulko na vibe too and gigza kame kio bit. Then I was thinking of wuna zwa kawasani, people, watu wana naga the product, the final product, watu onagi, what's behind the scenes, and that's in any, any atagini, wana zwa watu wana zwi, what it takes before it will be kept wana tu, kukwa TV. So the main idea behind the song nile, okay, utuna faku ku consider that there is so much behind the scenes. So, to shikan emkono, to push each other. So the main, the main ini behind Katambe likuwa. Wacha goma za Kenya. Zitambi. Zitambi instead of kuzikazia. Kwa zi, kwa zi, kwa zi, kwa zi, kwa zi, kwa zi, kwa zi, kwa zi, kwa zi, kwa zi, kwa zi, kwa zi, kwa zi, kwa zi, kwa zi, gitambi. Nani noma? Katambe, hote nezaku getopi on social media because he, I'll be the first one to pop it by the way. Shukran, shukran. So what can we get it on social media on YouTube? Where can we subscribe?
