 Pulahti we will get you everywhere. Am I right or am I right? Prince Raman na suma, Mwane gita'i, Mwane to you. DJ Lil Russian, show is on fire. Sa, Sa, yes, I can cover up for my partner to some limit. After all, love is strong. Watching from Kisumu. Say hi to my mum Rose Oldwatch. Hello, Rose Oldwatch. Good morning. This is the Isai Kehcuti for watching. Sasa, thank you so much for all the feedback, I'm still curious. Why are the ladies letting us down? We'll still sample some more of these comments after this interview. Let me read just a few more first of all. Anto Mali is like Anto from Dando, maybe sasa, in a lingana na makosa, I'm a finer because when there's some cover then you find yourself in his or her situation, so it depends. That makes a lot of sense. To be sincere now, let him or her face the consequences. Okay. Piyama bo icha da menza kukwa ru isasa. Diana D, in a defend ni Kremgani, ame komit. I feel like people are still on the fence about it. But a Krem is a crime though. So would you cover it up or not? As in would you defend your partner or not? Let us know why to fight for channel and the E-Circuit. Our next guest is Regi and Dan Solatis, kuspa the name of Karchin. See Karchin. Karchin. Karchin. Welcome to the E-Circuit. Thank you. Feel blessed to be here by then. What's the inspiration behind that name Karchin? Karchin. You know like the chin? The chin? Ya. So in from one, I was the only from one with two beards. You see? Two beards. So my mothermatic teacher never knew how to call my name. It was like Charles, but it was like forgetting the name. So it was like the boy, the chin. Hey you chin boy, come come. So I finished form for it was just like Karchin. So you just stuck that nickname stuck? Chin. She didn't just come chin. But now I see you have a full beard so you've come a long way. Ya ya, let's go chin. We decided the car to be fully matured. Before we continue with the interview, you were listening to what we were talking about. The question is, if your partner committed a crime, would you defend them? Whoa. But that's a nameless lyric. I just realised that. Commit a crime and I'll be your defender. No, leave me out of this. Leave me out of this. Trust me bro, if you kill, no, I'm out. You're out. I'm out. That's the limit for you. Ya, I'm a bloody bastard. But he's saying yes to a default. That's what he's saying. That's not a default. Is it a default? No. I shall get it. See? Wait. So if it's something petty, or something not so serious like murder, you're defending them. That's what she's saying? I'll have to think about it first. Because anyone's kid. You have a sister. Ya, let's see, let's see. Let's see where this goes. Okay. Somebody does something about your sister. Maybe heartbreak, sir. So that's it. So what are you going to do? So what are you going to do? Who is him? Defend. Let's put a pause on that. Let's put a pause on that. Now Reggae and Dancel. What attracted you to that genre of music? Because you know in Kenya, we all kapuka this, kapuka that, and now Apropop is the mainstream genre. Let me tell you something bro. In these streets we are listening to Reggae. I grew up in the streets. Ya. Like Kukipanda. When did you grow up? I grew up somewhere in Ghidorai. Okay. I grew up in Ghidorai. I was a small fan so I didn't know what to say. And I tuned in. Ghidorai is like that place. I didn't know what to do with the phone. But at that time, I didn't know where to go. You didn't know where to go? I didn't know where to go. So. Like in a phone in Kenya? I stayed in Islam sometime. Then I shifted back to Kawest, where I met Embrandt, a very, very good director. So you grew up just listening to Reggae and Dancel. Ya. Ya. Famously Bujubantun. Bujubantun was my favorite icon. And recently was released. Ya. I'm sure you're happy about that. I had to celebrate. I met Bujubantun. So he's like one of your biggest inspirations. Ya. Call Bujubantun. Why Bujubantun? Why Bujubantun? Okay Bujubantun. The kind of music he gives. The message he gives to the youth. You know Bujubantun is not that kind of a person who will tell you to go hand of the gun and use the gun. Definitely the cops are going to kill you. Bujubantun is giving you inspirations and things to think about. A better life, a better perspective. And that is the things that the youths nowadays should be having. I haven't thought. You know, you just said everyone who you know and where you've grown up, you know they listen to Reggae and Dan so. I listen to Trump. I listen to Hip Hop too. But now there's the mainstream genres, the Afro Pop. What do you think about that situation? Is Reggae making a strong kamba because there was a time when that was the genre, in the club on TV. There's this girl named Kofi. Have you heard about her? Kofi. Kofi. Kofi is taking places man. I think last month he had an award, a Grammy. Yeah. It's going to be big. So Reggae is making a kamba. It's making a very big award. Actually, Reggae has been, Kenya has been home for Reggae. The previous day we had Jakiwa. Jakiwa was walking with the song all over the streets. They were just picking trashes. Very good people bonding from Jamaica and Kenya. Such a very beautiful thing. You said earlier, Bujubantun, you like the way he writes and sings, his songs. So what inspires your music? My music actually comes from the positive and the negative vibes in the society. I can give you the positive side of me. I can give you the negative side of me. It depends on how you approach me. That's just me. Because from the wake you have to understand that there is things have to be done. Did you feel like that when you were starting out though? Yeah. Or did you just want to have fun with the music? For when I was in class six my pastor chased me out of the church. That made me feel so bad. You were actually in the choir first? I was in the choir. I was singing in the choir. I was like, ha ha ha ha. And then all of a sudden kuna tabi yambaya koka nisa wewa henda. What happened? Do you mind telling us? No, no. I'm going to tell you that in the next show. Trust me. I'm going to say it. In our big spot. But that's the thing though. Most musicians, the top ones even, they started out in the church. A lot of challenges. Then they get kicked out. Do you feel like, you know, people are not really being fair or being truthful to themselves? I think you just have to follow the right path. Do you feel like you want following the right path at the time? I'm on the right path. Bro, I'm having new right here. I'm on the right path. Definitely. I have to be on the right path. So it's like a road. If you drive on the left side, you have to maintain the left side. If you come on the right side because of an accident. So if you maintain your left side it's just going to have to reach. So maintain where you are? Just maintain what the craft you're doing. Maintain the positivity. Never, never let somebody shun you down. Ever since you started, because you started way back when in 2006, what challenges have you faced in this genre? I've faced a lot of challenges. If I start right now, we're going to finish this thing next week. There are so many. But the main challenges was recording songs, then videos, but luckily I had somebody to back me up. It feels so good to have somebody to back you up. You had some type of backing. Are you signed? No, I'm not signed. Currently, I'm not signed. I'm just working. Kibyatawu na fanya shuguli, shuguli. Pesuna kutuna save na shu tri da. Ya, ya. I am up with that. That's every artist goes through those challenges. So where would you want Karachin to be in the next year? Karachin already is a big name. Karachin is going to be a big name. Shout out to everyone who knows Chagrikachin is going to be a big name. Aframa. Afrikama awards. Afrima. Ya. So the next time we're talking, you'll be holding that award in your hands. I hope so. God will open ways. We wish you nothing but the best with that. Anything is possible as long as you work hard. So what advice would you give someone who sees Karachin the big name and they want to be like you? You want to be like me? No, no, no. Don't be like me. Be better. Be bigger than me. Actually keep the positivity in you. Make sure. I write five songs per day. Mouto kajobu na kuja nanti kango matano na lalasa tisa. My mum is like, yo, hendu lale keshu kukazi. I'm like, mamu wale we shit. You just don't get this each. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. surgeries don't fear the man whouters kik one kick. I think it is amazing. You have a new song right now, Top Rapa. It's your type of vibe… That's something new. It's something different, something new. How can you describe your sound? What vibe are you bringing to reggae and dance right now? Right now, something like… Like you a tang tang girl You make me feel dam dam It's like a flight go a London I'm not going nowhere without my honey bun You see just a vibe You feel it Nice music to the melody I can call it African dance Because I'm African I'm also Kenyan But my grandma was a Jamaican So you have the roots of Jamaican Ya, I can't speak Jamaican well But I could speak Jamaican because some Kenyans Wouldn't ever understand I don't even know what you just said Ya, I have no idea I have no opinion I'm saying if I start speaking Jamaican right now Most of my fans will get it But most of them will be floating around like us So I prefer to speak in Swahili I know a lot of Swahili You should not Kwaisan No, Kwaisan Come on Ya, we have some people up there I know some people Will you film me?
