 Yes, and that was Jam Nautics. I like the way you say your name. How are you? Yeah, so welcome to the show. Thank you so much. How are you? I'm fine, I'm young, I'm dope and I'm fresh. Kindly introduce yourself to the audience back at home. This is me, this is who I am and this is who I represent. It's Jam. It's Jam Nautics. Oh yeah, that's me. I really like the way you say your name. Anyway, yeah, so it's been a minute since we last met. I think I'm just assuming that people know you just because we have met before. Anyway, so let's backtrack Hidogo too. You know, when you started your musical career, just so that we can bring people into the picture. Yeah. It's been a journey. If I have to like probably say when I started, I might even lose some part of it. But then I started music in high school, on a series not like now being a musician. But then after graduating out of campus now I'm a full-time artist. Yeah, only graduated. Yes, I did. Okay, congratulations. The last time you told me you were going to graduate, right? Yes, I was going to graduate. But a lot of times I was going to graduate because I didn't want to appeal to you. You didn't want to appeal to me? Yes, I didn't want to appeal to you. I didn't want to explain to you. I didn't want to give you a green bill. Ah, that's too much. Anyway, I wasn't a graduate then. But now that I graduated, I'm finally out of school and I'm a full-time artist. Now your energy is in music. Yeah, everything I'm doing is just part-time. Okay. Alright, that's nice. There's a song you used to sing when you were in Mamboga. Yeah. When you were in Mamboga. See, in Mamboga there's that art of reciprocity. That art of reciprocity. Mamboga doesn't hurt me to come back to Mamboga. Okay. But my mother-in-law is from Mali-Safi. I don't know if she's from Mali-Safi. To plug a boy's heart. My mother-in-law says she's from Mali-Safi. I don't know if she's from Mali-Safi. No. But my mother-in-law is from Mali-Safi. I'm from Mali-Safi. And I'm from Mali-Safi. And you know, I mean, my mother-in-law is from Mali-Safi. You're from Mali-Safi too. Is your husband from Mali-Safi? My mother-in-law am from Mali-Safi. She doesn't know where we are. I'm from Mali-Safi. We need to know the matter. Leave it in the comment section. If you have any short answers to the questions you need to know. Anyway, so I have noticed in some of the songs that Umefanya Eqa drill, there are two songs that they speak about love that they give a different vibe. Is that very intentional? The songs that you have done that speak about love can't let go and let me love you. They are drill and you're speaking about love and it's all kizungu, kizungu. Is that intentional? Yeah, it's intentional. Yeah, it's intentional. But for let me love you to be specific, I was just doing something that is avant-garde. Something I haven't done before. You see, there are some vibes, sort of R&B vibes, but it's still drill. But now because I'm a hippo-partist, I'm trying to like, you know, just maneuver through everything that is relating to music and to hippo to be specific. So for let me love you, that was an avant-garde kind of stuff. What is an avant-garde? Or something experimental, you know, something out of, you know, out of someone's normal way of doing things. So my allies? No, really. I learned how to learn. But yeah, you know. Okay, that's nice. So you experimented something. Did the experiment work? Yes, it did. But you know, at some point I was feeling like... It's not you. No, it was me. But now the reception. You know, sometimes you invest so much in your art. So lyrical, so lyrical. And then you end up people not getting you. I kind of felt like people didn't like, you know... Like an equal hit, you expected it. Yes, sure. And you even saw the script for the video. You know, I didn't have a car. So people were like, hey, when I took her down, I was heartbroken. I was bleeding from inside. You're bleeding from inside, but it's showing outside. Yeah, but I mean, it's like people didn't understand exactly. But it's fine anyway. Maybe they'll catch up with time. They will. Is that the reason why you have not done the video for Can't Let Go as well? Because they're in the same... Not exactly. The video for Can't Let Go hasn't been done for other different reasons. Because by the time I was doing... I was releasing the audio. I mean, I didn't have enough time to have the video out as well. And I felt like maybe just have the audio first, see the reception. And then maybe it's going to help me advance the idea of the video. And then again, I was doing last year, towards the end of last year, I was doing something known as Every Friday. So I was releasing audios every Friday of the week. So you know, if you release like, say, videos, videos, audios, audios, you don't have enough time to do so much. But then the video will be out sooner or later. So have you stopped releasing the Every Fridays? Is something you plan to continue with? Yes, now I began a new year. So I'm thinking of doing it again differently. Maybe just randomly, I can even decide to do this Friday, this Friday. Next Friday, sorry. Maybe after two months, after a month, you know. But just randomly, there is like no specific path for this year. All right. Okay. So let's talk about no favours. You know, it's your most recent track. Yeah, yeah, sure. So you're talking about, you know, see favours. You know, I have put in the work to get where I am. So you're speaking from a personal experience or is this the general life view? The general, but now from my personal point of view. Inasmuch as I'm talking about what is happening in society, if I'm like experiencing the same, I'm in a better position to understand and to explain what exactly is going on. So the thing is, in life, even if you know someone, say, I'm the president, you know, and you're my daughter, so you know, and you want like, she was saying, office of the first, you know, you have to like give someone something that is there and something that they can actually do. So even if you know someone and you are not like really qualified to do what you want them to help you do, really they'll still consider someone else. You have to like, I mean, let's not work at effort. You have to like put in work, work, work, and then yeah. Okay, interesting. So what are you working on after no favours? Are you working on an EP, on an album, a mixtape? I'm planning to probably just have an album this year, do as many audios as I can this year, do an event of my own. So yeah. But I'll have a new video sooner, maybe next month. Ah, okay, okay. You need to be consistent now that there's a lot of work to be done. Exactly. Putting in the work. Yeah, yeah. How is it different, you know, doing music after, in campus and doing music when you don't have the school workload as well? I think it's less different. You know, even if I got done with school, I still have other things to do because I have to survive. Also, I'm a human being. So, I mean, I just have to do some other things, apart from like, even if I'm not like going to class, I have to go like somewhere. So it's more or less the same thing. Now the idea is, you know, with school, you have to probably report to school on a certain time, on a certain time, but now with work, like right now I'm still looking for opportunities. I wouldn't say it's much of a difference, but then again, I haven't even stayed out of school for the longest time. For a long time, yeah. It's like, I just graduated. My DP is still with my graduation guide. Okay, interesting. Are you looking forward to working with anyone, doing any collaboration? Yeah, I wouldn't mind doing a collab with someone who has vibes and good intentions. All right, so where can people find your music? On all digital streaming platforms. Yeah, that's it.
