 Ostupale aiji, komments di kakuja ka sote, is the only faithful young brand in the 254, he goes by the name B-Mix and is here with us to share his story, Karibu Sanu. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. Your camera is number four, introduce yourself Mr. B-Mix and aka Zakozote. My name is B-Mix, I'm an artist and also an actor. I've been acting quite a few episodes, Trapos too. I started my musical journey back in 2018 and I went to Kafika Mali to Mefika. Okay, you're in Trapos season two? I was in one of the some of the episodes in Trapos as a supporting cast. As a supporting cast? I have some of my friends there and I trust them. The famous lady, Aika. Aika was here, a very good friend of ours. She's a good friend of mine too. What is the name of that guy? From the states? Roni. Ron? Yes, exactly. They've been here, we had a good time with them. How are they doing? Aika pwa, aika fiti wa nilia pwa. I'm on a run of later, we're in a couple of music videos. Yes, he's a vexer now. Making moves man. Making moves and we're clapping for you man. Shout out to them by the way and shout out to Trapos for sharing a Kenyan story, the Kenyan way. Mr. Mimix, that is not the reason we are here today. We, I posted you on IG this morning on our white five four page and I told people to send their questions that they have for you. These questions are so many. You allow me to ask the five questions now. Okay, very much welcomed. The first one on the list, let's just get to IG and see what's popping, what's cracking. Yes, there. We have the first question and it's Mr. Ha. That was the first question. How did you start? That is the first question. How did I start? Well, my musical journey, I started back in high school in primary. I used to do, we had talent shows. So I used to go do the talent shows where ngeyanda ngerap angoma zakina Ken Reze, zakina T.I. First forward to high school, we formed a band. It was five guys to look at me and say, but kima leza shule, 20 to hit the studio. We do our thing. After high school kila mpa kenanji ya zake, but we I managed to catch up with one of the guys, Javik. We did a song, but it was released. So I got used to the studio in 2018 and it released our first collaboration project, which was me featuring Donado and a guy called 1999. And then officially in 2019, which is Sango Mayango. Officially. What is the name of the track? The name of the track is called, the first track is called Tron, which is also the name of the coming album by the same name Tron, the album. Okay, so there's somebody here and a backup news story is going on, it was the real T.I. official. We've seen him start from way back in high school. Tell him to tell us the challenges he has faced as a new hip-hop artist in the in a gangiton-dominated industry. Well, being the gangiton-dominated industry unatua wimbo, msa nakuliza, na bro, si ujaribu kufanya ka gangitoni viki ya si ujaribu. Popside. That's the music guys actually want. But you see, there's a difference between what I'm doing and the gangiton vibe. Uta pata the gangiton vibe, mandi mwada kam ko kwa video wa tachise, wa jinaise, wa hype. I'm not against gangiton or anything, but kuna vele, I'd like to take my music. Ikuna a direction na jerebu kuipelaka. So uta pata, for me as not being a gangiton artist, wa say when I expect, like in my videos, when I expect kukuna mwada, mwada kam, nudity and all that stuff, kukuna all that drugs and all that stuff, that's something I'm trying to avoid as much as possible. This is quite featured along with my brand. And uh, one enda show, una pata show wa saywa na piga gangiton na lafum, vaibiyako, it's so different before I say we're just, uja ma. It's a tough one. I'm not against gangiton. Ikuna yo hype, ikuna yo hype ikuna gangiton ikuna vaibiyake. And the vibe that I'm bringing is totally different. This person is asking, how are you surviving in this gangiton dominated industry? By pushing. Just pushing. Keep on going, taking a step at a time, kuna kwa ma, una pause, I'm going to re-evaluate okuna ume ume ume jishika, una sangambele. We just keep on pushing, keep on pushing. Alright. Thank you very much for that one. And then, kuna ume sayana uleza, why hipo? This goes by the name CYN, CYN ATWA. It's very hard to pronounce. Cynthia. CYN underscore CYN ATWA. ATWA. So is he not? Okay. But shall I think for that question? I would say why hipo in particular? Okay. The thing is, the music I'm doing is not necessarily hipo. My fans may say it's hipo. Now me may say it's okay. You guys may say this is hipo. Let it be hipo. How would you describe it? My music cuts across genres. I have a song that is thrown in the first song. It's hipo, yes, but ikona also some old school classical kind of vibe. I have other songs that are coming. Ikona aregi vibe. I have an afro vibe. The album that is coming, which is called Throne, it's a compilation of many different genres. Uki kachinu skiza kinli naf, from the very start to the very end, it's a story. It's a story from the very start to the very end. The first song, Throne, Uki skiza bilaku shaful, ni story. Nika story kana ndelia. Which is very hard to do, which is actually not something common in Gengeton. Actually, then ikakuna mi siya metua Gengetoni kwa story. Challenge to you, Gengeton artist. The story ends with you on the throne, or what? Actually, the story starts with me beaming for the throne. The first song being thrown, it's proclaiming who beemix is. This is now beemix entering into the scene. Uki skiza throne, inanza, I'm back baby while I'm back in Amberta. You can see it from a mile, I'm a goka nageira. Basically from the start on, nambia waseni me kuja. I'm back and I'm better. I'm back from what? The first project we did, which was back in 2018, which was a collaboration. I have my own. Now I have my own song, my first song. I'm back and I'm better. And you can see it from a mile, I'm a goka nageira. Basically from the onset, thrown in a proclaim who beemix is, what's the story, what's the journey. And then going into the next song, which is no lies, now nambakupata, a beach behind the story of who beemix is. Shout out to you Mr. Beemix. I'm at this accessory. I'm a rock star baby. This big thing. Thank you. Is this your jula? Because you're icy man, you're frozen. Actually I have a plug for this. I have a guy who I don't know what he's talking about. I don't know what he's talking about. Yo beemix, I have some stuff for you man. Come check it out. Alright, give me a shout out. Because you're looking icy as well. Yo, if you can see me man, big shout out to you man. Shout out to you Mr. Hegigo. Thank you very much Mr. Amifist for sending your comment. Remember we're still having that conversation on our Facebook page. That is at Y254, and we are asking, do you think it's right for white people or non black people to be sidelined when it comes to the genre of hip-hop? And this is derived from this conversation that is going around about Eminem and Snoop Dogg Dogg having some settle business. So tell us what you think. Do you think it's right for black people to sidelined the non blacks from this genre of music called hip-hop? Remember we are in white people's genres as well so to squabo. Anyway it's out to you. It's never about what I think. It's about what you think right now. Alright so we have that Kenyan artist Anauliza. What was the inspiration What did you mean? What did you mean? Shout out first of all to that Kenyan artist who is a very big friend of mine. He's also doing amazing things and we should check him out as an animator dubstaff. What did you mean as I said it's part of the story and in the story in this segment on what did you mean we catch up on beemix after the heartbreak series. We start with thrown beemix and all that stuff. We go to the next song which is no lies. Now we get behind the story on beemix and in no lies a confrontation happens between the partner and in a relationship. After the confrontation they separate and then there's a whole list of song apokatikati which plays part of the story and then we get to what did you mean and in what did you mean he reflects back on no lies after the whole incident because in no lies I never trust the same way twice I never trust the same way twice and then what did you mean once beaten something twice shy reflecting back on no lies so what did you mean in short it's a heartbreak that was inspired by true events and I twisted it, I turned it I tried to make it as much relatable to the outer audience as much as I can. Wow Man how long did it take you to compile this project before we can carry on with the fan questions It's been a whole like this compilation of this project from 2019 nambaka saizi it's not yet completely out it's been a whole process man like one year and from 2019 nilanda kwi compile 2019 nasezi toko 2021 who's on production the guy on production is a bad ass producer by the way the kenyan industry hasn't seen this producer this producer is bad this producer is sick he's called frankenstein the phenom he's called samflani see when I look for beats I don't just go to a studio and the producer gives me a beat and I was like let's go I look for the soul in the beat because that is what the fun it takes with first because if the beats ikona soul wung is the soul yako is imaj it becomes something so epic I try as much as I can to connect with the emotional side of the songs so shout out to Mr. frankenstein shout out to Mr. frankenstein frankenstein the phenom palaiji the same name to frankenstein the phenom actually he also has his own songs you can check him out on youtube too the same name frankenstein the phenom on youtube on IG on twitter too which kenyan rapper do you look up to?

Cole wanna spit sense uki skiza kenya na saema kuna sense in it and then they are also on the other side kuna they are there for the hype so utapata so derogative so basically in the hiphop industry it has both kuna advantages kuna disadvantages everything has an advantage and a disadvantage and in the hiphop industry wanna help big time influencing this culture man so we can say for a fact that hiphop has a negative or positive impact to society it is what it is so you pick what you want you pick what you want because it's broad hiphop kuna kuna rapiasua kuna rapiangosa kuna rapia french not any hiphop see you that's a smart answer we have this person anitua cyn cyn twa tena she is back and she is asking what inspires you what drives you what inspires me what drives me what is the next big thing so i don't know if this is what's the next project come and drill down the next big thing we'll get back on that what inspires you what drives you well what inspires me is what drives me being a global world it says it's become a global village in the designer we can connect with so many guys from across the world and during e-corona time we got to see different states and all that stuff and in all that stuff we realize kuna villi tu kenya ahasi wamaju wanaju wa tu ko lakili kuna villi that tu pekaisi maketu na checki so the thing that pushes me is to try as much that's why i have ke kwa jina hangu na ju of course kuna those acts akina calligraphoji akina nyash they're pushing kenya to a big level already but i'm also trying to get nismamia apo nisemi kenya ninaoma numeka kenya kumapa kenya ninaoma kuna du desan aka kuna jaykol muna n singer piiisid kuna wase waka nivizuri and at the same time my mother is very a strong person fighting for racism and all that stuff and black hunts so it pushes me also to fight for the recognition of our hunts Kwa hivitana hifana kiwa?
