He has a nipsi household kind of greatness that is. Hi, what's your name? My name is Kizi, I was kantaise producer. How does it feel seeing your work still doing some magic even after he's gone? I mean it's incredible, it's an incredible feeling. Ya sure. So what have you brought for us today? What's good? We have an album on the way, actually we are launching it today. Secure, exclusive things. Ya, today so it's gonna be a, it's a play space launch. A play space launch. Ya. Itwinu. Yes. Wao. Itwinu. Wao. Instead of sending, we send each other. Oh. Unfortunately. It's okay now that we know we can fix something for the future. Ya. Because we want his name to make it to the stars. Tell us about his album. Ha ha. I asked the wrong person. I wanted to know what you think about the album. Not the logistics and the magic behind it. How do you feel about this new album? Personally, I love it. And I was in the studio sometimes with him holding his hand, making sure he's awake and alert and focused. And he also used to come with his wife as well and his daughter. This is actually like the rebirth of Kantai. He wanted to make a comeback. Ya. And for me, it's hypnotic. It takes you into literally a trance. Actually the name of the album is trance. Wao. Yes. And he's also, he just wanted to give back to his fans. Ya. What they've been missing because he was awake for a few years. Did you have any say in it? Like did you give in or take away? Okay. I know how he liked it. I know how he liked doing things. Can we do it a bit this way? Can we do it that way? Did you have that much hands-on influence? Okay. Since he was mostly in the studio with Kizi. Kizi would suggest a few things and he would add here to those. For me, I would be like just continue pushing. At times he would be tired but he's like let's continue recording. Let's go on with this because it's something powerful. Something worth listening to, something worth purchasing. Ya. What was one thing that he lived by? I can see you, I can hear from the story that you gave him. He was a very hardworking guy. Ya. He loved his family and he loved his fans. Basically he was, if I can say it in Swahili, Mtuawatu. Ya. Very jovial, extremely humble. Ya. And also extremely focused. Ya. You wouldn't tell him anything or when we were in the studio. No. He knows what he's supposed to do. He didn't even write his lyrics on paper. He would just enter the booth. No. Do his things. No, nothing. This guy had it here in his mind. Oh gee. Yes. So he knew what he was doing. And he would speak words of wisdom even to me and easy when we were working. Ya. What's the one thing you remember Kanta from before we get into the album now? Kanta was a G. He had this cool vibe. Ya. He was a guy that, he was just fun to be around. Ya. And he had so many friends. Ya. We came from the same place. Zimame. Ya. So he always came to the studio with guys. He used to be fun. Ya. The feeling was just electric whenever he was in the studio. Ya. Sounds magical. Ya sure. Tell me about the 8 tracks in the album. What are these particular ones? Well, the album is called Trance. She said it has 8 songs to it. Ya. Like for 4 months. Ya. So everyday he was in the studio. So the Trance album was just a Kambak album. There was nothing major to it. It was just a Kambak album. He would say to come back to the scene up to 10 years away from the game. Ya. So that was all to it. Ya sure. What was he doing those 10 years away? Was he just being with his family? Ya. He was doing family stuff. Ya. Whatever he used to say. Ya. Plus he troubled a lot. Ya. This guy has troubled a lot. Umsewa kwa US and everything. So ya. He was just dealing with family. But he wanted that Kambak so bad. Ya. Do you feel the pressure of trying to get his name to greatness? Like I feel like he's Kenya's MJ. Like we are now getting his like... At Kubali, ya. At Kubali. Like we are refusing. We are not bored in that play. Ya. Did you feel a lot of pressure for that? Before he died. Right now. Right now. Ya. The pressure is actually very real. Because even when we are doing these interviews and stuff. Everyone is asking so why are you doing this? What's the point of promoting an album for that person? Ya. For us it's leaving his wish and continuing what he wanted. Ya. To achieve. I think that's very deep. I think he thinks it's deep too. Because he hasn't said a thing. I'm not saying anything. I will try to translate the vibe that I'm getting. Ya. Ya. I would like to have friends like you. Imagine something that you've worked all your life so hard for. You finish the race, you rest and then someone continues. The marathon is continuing. I can say. What would you like to tell the fans of Kuntai? The people who just listen to his music now. Of the certain age group who don't really know what Kuntai was. What would you like to say to them? Kuntai was there back in the day. The beginning of early 2000. What I would like to tell the youngings of today is. He had that vibe to it. If you listen to Kuntai even right now. You still resonate with whatever he was talking about. Ya. Just go ahead and google his stuff. And just listen to the lyrics. This guy was deep, deep to the core. Stainless music. What would you like to say to rap this song? I'll use one of the lines in his song. He kept saying keep it clean. Basically keep it moving, keep it going, keep it fresh. This young ones they look up to him. Even every day get asked who is this Kuntai. What did he live for. This guy was just real. And he was extremely honest. Everywhere he went. People will be like this guy is annoying. He is full of himself. But that arrogance and pride that he had. Was actually part of his gangster side. But in real sense he was actually a very sweet person. And he was a pure soul. So just be committed and be more dedicated to your craft. And also know your roots. Because him he stuck to his roots. Nobody could copy his style. Even if they tried they can't. Because Kuntai is always Kuntai. Ma'am thank you. I am very proud of what you are doing. It's very good. I am very proud of you. Thank you. I am very proud of you. I am very proud of you. I am very proud of you. I want to say one thing. I am very proud of you. I don't think any DJ would have chosen you. I don't think so. I don't think so. That's a hit. It continues to be a hit. Yes, yes. Yes please. Thank you so much. Social media handles maybe. How can we get the album? You can go to Songa and Bumple Music Ups to download and stream the music.
