 First interview, he started all the way back in 2004 when the group was a Nazi, KS. Welcome to the E-Circuits. Shukran sana nika. Asansana, uluko na faku kuza narafiki e tubana. Kid, this is the gem there. You have a new song with him. What happened? Where is he? He messaged his apologies. Yeah? Hajatuboku kamlewa. Hakuna shida, hakuna shida. Actually, I like that you came because the conversation will still be the same. The thing is, you and Kid is way back when, you know? Yeah. On kapuka wa padulu kwa ina anza, anza ina shikashi kavizuri. And I say we are the evolution of music in Kenya. Okay, angalia, then and now, the conversations are play kei and all that. Do you feel like now people are starting to appreciate Kenyan music again? Yeah, actually guys are appreciating more Kenyan music now more than ever. Yeah? Kus avenue zaku lete imu ziki zime expand. You know, with the internet and all that. Ina patia, more space for everyone. Yeah, that's why you're seeing all these guys, all these new artists coming. So it's a good opportunity. I'll no longer talk about Gengiton and, you know, G, go there, there's content or not. It clearly has content because it has a fan base. I'll repeat guys, you know? Well equally. It's a kind of fan base. Yeah, it's kind of. It's no longer about content. It's about appreciation. And all those things in between so that our artists start to make money. Kumekwana, the story is the same about promoters. In the morning we were also talking about, you know, when they were in Nabila, a promoter kia Limfanya, she's still living the same situation. In the entertainment industry, kumekwana is a story, mingi. Mingi sana. Is it becoming any better for artists to protect themselves against such things? All right. Our industry is still very young, although it has come a long way. So at least kuna bodi zambazu ngeza registana. So you see there's MCSK, there's Prisk, there's Kamp, and you can sell your music on other platforms like Songa, you see Boom Play. So ninsani adiwe, where to go? Okingi anam zikiwako first. You should not just release it. Bilako registana award. So you stay protected. Na copyright na fanya kaziwile na faf, because I remember that there was a term where it cut us off for a minute from collecting, yeah. You know it goes deep down. Shida yam ziki, see yam zikipeke, just the way you say it about the sports industry. Guys are too corrupt. So na kata, yes, these bodis, but sa zinina ku effective. Bakazana ma mishokazi. You get. So you see like you have a Kulamsani, a Kula manager. Bakini manager na nga leti lehela yam zani. Ano na nininina na zichu kukuako, na takiku kuku jengana. Haoni bilimina na zajengana. Go even further together. Bu bilafsimi ngi koko industry? Bilafsimi koko industry. And not only music. Na leti piga kelele tu nambu o wa zani ma piga kelele sana. Na badu piku a sports tomorrow. Kenyans are too greedy, but I think it's all about the leaders we elect. So if I look up to the people I look up to, work on fish ideas and they get away with it. Ato kuchini tafani evo. Yeah, it goes deep. Kusaba butafani a beli ono na nyeshwa ya? Hei ono na. Wile jama li bami learning that. And he's still working around and flossing. Iko sana wa. Na nani miha wata pemi nijukue. Wata dami nijukue, life is short. Yolo. Yolo? Yeah. Kali, kali, kali. But I believe it will get better eventually because people like you, you know, are you staying farmed with the industry na badum na yandela kutu leti a hit after hits. Let's go back to waza nasi. The group, milikum na fanya Afropop kapuka? Kama li kwa hip-hop, hip-hop? It was a combination of. Kapuka hip-hop was to li kwa wane. And everyone had their own taste. Nene li kwa imiwa bring together before we talk about what split you apart? To kwa kama li kwa ma. Nene li kwa vijana wam tani when you finish high school. That period before you joined college. Uwam na, na mablistim na hand-out your neighbors. So we were like, there were three of them. And kapa sana rei plani, we were playing football. So in the middle of that game, we started doing freestyle. And there's one of us who were doing freestyle. And there's one of us who had a friend in the suburbs there kwa wana studio. So I said, hey, you guys, we should go do a song. So milikwa wakampani. I was not actually going to rap. What did you look when I hang out? And when I hang out to now, so when I dropped my lines, I was like, and we did a song. We created a song. It's way back. They liked the song and we formed a group from there. And now from 2004, when did you guys split? I think around 2009. 2009 to 2010. Because that's when I did my first single. So that's around the five, six years. Kwa pomoja releasing hits. Ni ni ni ni uli pata from that experience within the group so that ni ni ni nakuza idea as a solo artist now? Well, brand ni muhimu sana. Brand? Yeah, brand because even after I split, I called myself SK at first. No, I'm KS. It's still the same thing. But milikwa growing a brand, because we seek as a race. So at least with my experience in the group, as a solo artist now it's much easier because I know what I'm not supposed to do and what I'm supposed to do. And you can make decisions much faster because you are only... Exactly. I laugh when I jump up a group, everyone is going to say, I feel this song more. But for me it's different opinions. But right now it's just me and the producer. In terms of brand, there is no social media. So I'm going to say idea and I want artists to go nuts because people are doing crazy things to remain relevant. You know what I mean? Exactly, yeah. And I want to go spell artists and I want them to know what I'm doing and what I'm doing. So I'm going to say it. Yeah, let's say it. Actually, we have two things to say. The first one, we came here for the short cuts. We came here for the short cuts. People know them by one song, but they don't know the behind the scenes when you're on the fire for years before talking. You can look at kids on the air. Naiboi. Before they came on the scene, we came here for the new albums but they were never known. So we came here for the short cuts. Because that's what I mean, we came here for the short cuts. I just tripped and my mom got injured. But people picture it like a social... And you're also a non-chat friend. No, my mom blew up a box or whatever. Exactly, in just a week's time. Any crazy? Or any crazy? Or any short cuts? Or any short cuts? Or any BD, or any Kazi? Exactly. And second thing, we came here for the short cuts. Every sun seed never goes to waste. So it was a little effort on the fire and then it was a high-debate fruit. High-gender waste. Because they were not watching. Eventually, we didn't care about that. Exactly. And this new song that we saw, we came here for the short cuts. Kid is the gem bear. Kid is the gem bear. Kid is the gem bear. Kid is the gem bear. Kid is the gem bear. Kid is the gem bear. Kid is the gem bear. Kid is the gem bear. Kid is the gem bear. He doesn't like me out of that route. The matere has said. He haven't heard it. He never remembered. We are very oldult, so we said that we'd love to join you. Because we are oldult, you know, we're new arrivetusu toda. Like, how do we continue to understand? Kid is the gem bear.Min groot was born in machuik, where he came from. kwa amifaniya video nasu kumali 2 kwa spikes muzik ya, he used to do hip-hop then, up to spikes so, eventually when it will finya video the song was good, nakablua up from there so that's when we knew each other lafaniya do wa tani tuna kwa biwa nasu wata it's just a small circle atakama kwa jamee tuna tuna naka zizamunze tu lakini atakama ome niya maza mekana ekzikna when you need to know inbox on how to bluetooth misawa tu wana tuli kana papatana 2 kumbele badae ya, so that's how we met so from the same studio but working together in yanzara last year ya, nakuna more music coming akuna mo collaborations niya ome wa kia kama ks mmhmm what should we anticipate from you now because when you've learnt all these tricks ume wana the ins and outs of the entertainment industry ever since 2004 now you're a solo artist so what should we expect from you ok actually ks is also a producer I've done production of most of my work atayu ome zanusu it's my production so what you can expect is good music from ks kuna muzikini me faniya piya akili sana faniya videos very soon the party won't stop party won't stop asana shukran kuaku kuza kutu ome ngele siya bote industry I hope neksemone zekam naum jama lazimandam naum rute kwae atstuditu ome ngele ita padali because kidis always has you know just like you it's very insightful with this industry naveli imikwiki gruki change and we need such big brothers like you to nazoe this is an edutainment show kwae limeshia awa young artists odana kama so what you can expect on social media social media twitter at the only ks kini kais instagram at the only ks facebook at the only ks safika biza sani piya at the only ks but the question of the day is should we burn spots gambling in Kenya? let us know on Y254 channel and the e-Ciket until then this is kidis ks ks
