Zeke is a bad singer so he's rough and can really sing yeah he's a cool person so that was fun also another thing um I'm a big fan of In-Presa he's a boss yeah In-Presa ask him I'm sure you've had a chance to interact with us was Jimmy Riley tell us Riley's so maybe you can tell us maybe about looking at Jimmy and Taras what's the difference I'm what are you like when when you look at Jimmy you

check back my papers and make sure my business all right and then the last question um every time you come to Kenya there's something new something different yes and there's always a surprise in your performance yeah so what do you have planned for your Kenyan you can't tell people surprises or it wouldn't be a surprise let me ask you this way what do you what stands out about Kenya every time you come here Kenya people stand out the people is what stand out there Kenyan people are very unique and I'm going to show me love I love how this stands up yeah yeah yeah hello Tara oh your face is big you're so like you're shy but you're ready yes what's your name my name is Kalundu Musimi what does that mean you need to find out the meaning of that the song like yeah what means special special something special yeah uh when I listen to just the way you are I feel I feel love I feel special I don't know what was going through your mind when you release that particular song and the video are releasing it grow just the way it is what was going through your mind I wanted to love that special person right yeah man that was the whole point of making it and the video I never wanted to be like

to get up with him thank you yeah and my name is Moses Moses yes yes right from water yeah so I was asking you you kind of but you kind of sing different kind of general kind of okay you do you can do any kind of regular music indeed you can do bachelors you can do conscience writing you can do which is the main general you want your people know it depends which people yeah it depends which people because if you come here and hear just the way you are that's the biggest song they go somewhere else and that song is a bigger song so that's why we're not too focused on the rhythm we're focused on the message and the lyrics so whatever you know me what you know me if I say something positive yeah if I say to you fast I still just know I'm saying something good yeah but I really take pride in to making different kind of music there are different kind of people so I want to be everybody's singer I want I want all the ears in the word yeah yes my name is Omar so my my name is son of a king so my mother loved my father by the king so shot the king the son of the king must be all my friends so I know my name everybody must find out your name mean we'll do that anyway I wanted to ask you I've watched your performances before they're very electrifying what are some of the preparations you do like when you're rehearsing or when you're at that moment you're behind your backstage so that you deliver an electrifying you know performance that connects to the audience thank you say again what do I do before one stage yeah the the mental preparations like some of the things you have to do to get into a space where you really to perform and be yourself I see a lot of these people in the crowd I just my musicians and family there's the band in a black side band that one over there this blast is a cool person I use in trauma and they look like security but they're really family you know so we rehearse extensively and in the rehearsal room you just see that on stage so sometimes one man said try this song and this man said yeah and this man said yeah and we just try to get that ready so when it's stage time we can't do anything different but we rehearse so we just want to be friendly from that we rest so we relax and just try to hear the best everybody wants to do the best somebody want to hear the best because we know that you come out to see the best yeah thank you yeah

are telling me you know you have made some don't come back I think you're trying to trick me you know he's asking me how come to Israel and then I think I don't come back um so you're asking me it don't come back as a person yes it is a real life story but it's not necessarily my life story but there's definitely lines in here from my life but the purpose of the song again is just you know it's more like a confidence sign you know so you're the same look here love me I leave you alone yeah so anytime you blow one up and I'm gonna leave I don't come back and somebody else will love me you

first and then you look for a melody or how does it go so sometimes different because you answer that um yeah the question just left me how does it go you're asking me which one do I do first yes I don't know it depends sometimes you have a melody sometimes you have lyrics sometimes you have lyrics for years and you just find a melody some day you're singing a melody and you have no lyrics but I tell you the truth I won't tell you all of my secrets because then you would need me I grow up that's the right so I won't give away all of the songs but definitely there is some melody inspiration

question you collaborated in what which other mainstream officers do you work with I don't know I'm not crazy about mainstream pop I love music and I say anywhere artists you know me um yeah it doesn't really matter that's not what's a little bit of reason you know yeah what inspires me It was the first place I've been to in Africa and we always feel connected to Africa a long time. So you can only have one person. So that is a big thing. It's like your first love by your first connection. So that's a big inspiration to me. So another question is what's your favorite sport? My favorite sport is basketball. What should we expect? I mean, expect and expect. You know, I'm a warrior, so we won. You can clap the warriors to beat. Some people feel salty. Clap me too please. A lot of people are like Mr. Rimas, Ronan, Justice, Ronan. Give them a round of applause, yeah. Thank you very much. I'm not a big justice. Just want to thank you every time I come.

Look, I will be reaching the camera on the right. Yeah, you're strong. My question to you is, I mean, this is not your first time in Kenya, right? No, it's not. I mean, what is that one food? That one food that you have to eat when you come back here? Food? Mm-hmm. Can I be honest with you? Yes. I'm not a foodie. What? I'm really not. What about me? I'm not. I would lie to you with the microphone in my hand. And I don't want to lie in Africa. I feel like that's my luck. I'm not a foodie. So I just, especially with this cancer time. So I'm really just more just chewing. Like I just eat, feel just eat. Like I'm not really a foodie. Like this morning I came to the lab for breakfast and sweet potato. I said vegetable. I don't eat animals. So, you know? Hi. Hi. My name is Elizabeth. Elizabeth again? Elizabeth Boogie. Elizabeth, all right. Next question. How did you celebrate your father's day? How did I celebrate my father's day? I was home and my kids made a video and it was very touching. And they were all talking about what they like with me. What they like about me and what they like to spend time in high school. I was like, wow, that was nice. I have. Hate, I don't like. Haters are mine, yeah. But they're not happy. How do you handle that? I don't hate anything. There's more love than hate everywhere. Haters usually have to hide and hate. Because the love is great. Yeah. Don't be a haters anymore. They're not happy. Next question. In Kenya it is election season, right? And we have a candidate named Walter Coyer. Okay. Yeah, he's from the Roots Party. And his main manifesto is to legalize weed in the country. What's your take about that? Legalize weed? Yes. I never know. I think that human beings are more illegal than weed. Yeah, I don't need politics to tell me that. Yeah, because every human being comes to trees, right? Yeah.
