 It's why 254 hashtag is why in the morning I'm so having fun. I hope you also equally having fun. It's hip hop Thursday. You know how we do. So in the building, I am not alone. We have an amazing group and they have been into the industry for three years and they are doing an amazing job. They go by the name Charped Farm. So make sure you stick along because stick along, yeah? We have a lovely conversation coming your way. And you guys back at home, you best sit down because there's a lot for you to see and hear from these guys. Hi. Poa sana. Mko poa. Ed kofiti. Thank you guys for coming through. So wambia otum nyumbani, like who are you guys? And you can start by introducing yourself. Na pia moakili shemta. Komajina maze ni Alphonse. Alphonse the gamey. Yendo jina usani. Pru ni ito Charped Farm. Yes. Ya utu ko trio yani tu ko asewatatu. To make a co-industry for like three years. OK. Yo, wassup? Nya le? Poa sana. I guess people at home are called too zeleza. Poa poa. OK. Part of the group. Sani one. Sani one. The guy with the combat look. Yes. So I go by the name Sean. So I'm the producer in the group. Wow. So I'm the producer in the group. I'm the one who makes everything happen. Blending, whatever he has, he has. OK. So it's lovely to hear that you guys are an artist. You've got all of you are an artist. And then you have the producer. So the producer equally joins the lyrical aspect. Yeah. So how did you guys come up as Charped Farm? Charped Farm, to look at my name, say, high school. Ya, even utu le mi ito yani. So later, when I was at your high school, you look at my speed, and you look at my order too. OK. To come up form a group. I don't know, I'm sorry, I don't know. Any artist in the game, in a wangahad kuni ni ko, come up on your door, on your connection, in a wangahad kuni, and then pick it up. So it's easy for you to come up as a group. Talking of making things be a little bit easy, is that the reason why you guys fund within yourselves? Ensure like you have a producer just within yourself, just together there? Ya, it's easy. Because I'm a producer, you know, it's a big deal for me to talk to you. And I want to talk to you, maybe 40,000. OK. I want to talk to you, maybe 40,000. And then I'll come up, I want to talk to you. And then the same producer, I want to talk to you. I want to talk to you. OK, so you mentioned. So how is it to be a producer, as a young producer in a chapel? OK, so being a producer, I can say it's fun. Because I believe that I've joined people who are very careful. Just a minute. I would like to use this mic. Oh, yes. Yes, that's way better. Thank you. So yeah, being a producer, it's fun. It's something I call, it's my passion. So I love it. Yeah, and basically because I've joined with one of the best in the game when it comes to rapping and everything. So yeah, so blending whatever they have and whatever I have is very easy. Yeah. OK, so do you also get to be part when they are writing their lyrics? And before you even answer that, you guys, did you sit down and decide like you're doing rap or hip-hop in general, or you guys don't want to be put in a box? Yeah, we don't want to be put in a box because we do. Basically, like the songs we released, we have kappoka songs, to corner hip-hop songs, corner trap songs. Basically, we are artists. So we don't put ourselves in any box. To not do only rap. Yeah. That's lovely. So you guys have different personality, let's say. And what do each of you have to bring in the table called chap form? Because I believe for something to be a unique product out there for people back at home to get to watch and have a good time and also to share and just love the product at the end of the day. What do you each of you have to bring in the table in chap form? That is so different. OK, so what I can say is we have different personalities as you said. Yes. So like Alphonse, once when you hear the songs, you can feel like he's someone who goes hard when he comes to the beat and touches someone who loves. He's a fun-loving kind of guy. OK. So yeah, he's a fun-loving guy when he comes to the songs and everything. So him going hard, him being a fun-loving kind of person. So we bring different aspects. And our music is kind of soothing to almost everyone. Someone who loves hardcore, hip-hop, fun grooves and stuff. I love the idea that you've just made it clear that you guys don't want to be put in a box, that you have different things to bring into the table. As the young guy who is all in black and all looking all good, could you tell us like what do you feel like it's different that you're being in the table? Because I listened to Cheezy, your jam. And I felt like you have a very hilarious aspect of writing your lyrics and how you're singing. And the vibe is so different from the rest of the group. And you're so hilarious in your lyrics and the rhyming. I love the rhyming when it comes to when you guys are speaking your lines. What is your sense of style? OK, so basically, you have to bring this aspect of, OK, you are an artist. So you're an artist at the same time you are an entertainer. So you have to bring in that fun, OK? OK, so that's a different thing in the industry, you see? It's something that you just don't see each and every day, you know? OK, so a hilarious aspect of writing lyrics. Is that your sense of style? Because I found it so hilarious. I do listen to it. And I'm just like, yeah, it's rhyming. I love the flow and everything. But again, I'm feeling like it's just funny as an aspect of it. It's an aspect of hilarious. OK, that's lovely. So for you guys, what do you see yourself in like in a few years down the line? I'm not going for five years. What are you guys like from now? What's the sum of the projects that you have for us? We're releasing a new track next week. I hope you guys will come and release it right here on Hip Hop Thursday because we are really anticipating for that. Yes, yes. Thank you. Guys, I got you back at home. Yes, it will be our next Thursday, Hip Hop Thursday. So make sure you stay locked for it. Yes. The next few years, I'm not going to give you a fire. I'm always the limit. I'm not going to give you a fire. That's true. I'm not going to give you a fire. All right. The entire revolution is the industry. Bye. OK, take it about the industry. It has been three years, right? What is the industry feel like for CHAPFUM? For CHAPFUM, I think at the moment. Yes, the reception at the rate of your air plays and also the marketing aspect of your music if you have a marketing team, that is. OK, right now I think we're in a better position, you know? Like, it's very easy right now at this Coupata, like you're here playing, you know? Yes, yes. Yeah, like with this play, Kenyan thing going on, yeah, and your support in Nakamdu. Ah, so you guys are for the Sanjumume. You know, you guys and Gukiad. But I feel it's supposed to be that way. We should definitely play 60% and even more if possible. The Kenyan music and Kenyan sound. As a producer, what would you speak of on the aspect of... What is the kind of... Do you spend time with CHAPFUM as a crew? Do you spend time with them and you guys sit down as a group and decide, like, you just reason, brainstorm on lyrics or do everyone just to work on an individual aspect and then they come and approach you. Like, here's what we have here, the lyrics. We're ready to spit, give us some beats and everything like that. So basically what we do is when we have the beat. So Nakumme and Kilam say a beat and then we come up with the topic of the song and we decide this is the way you're going. So Kilam say, I come up with an idea. And then when everyone is done, we meet up in the studio and we try and now incorporate whatever he has brought and whatever I have. So when you're writing music as in a room, you kind of sound the same in a way. So you have different ideas. So when you bring the ideas to the table, now you can choose, ah, this is an idea, this is an idea. And you also feel like if they work as an individual, they will put in more effort in their persona when giving out the lyrics and their vibe. So when they bring it to the table, it's like a full package and just we're just connecting and incorporating to a final product. We have a kind of competition kiddo go. Oh, I didn't know about that. Teach the teacher and the canine, the effort and the canine, the net and the canine. So you have to actually bring it, you understand? Because when I was a kid, I didn't know about the canine and the canine, it was easy. But that's what you can learn. So you have to bring my A game that come to collect, ah, okay. So you have a kind of intercompetition kiddo go and it helps out. Okay. I love the aspect that all of you are young. We're all young people and we're going after James and mostly young people tend to give up along the way. And especially during this aspect of social media, we tend to see what people they have, what they have acquired in their career. The 10 year challenge, you know. 10 years, you're just looking at your life and you'll be like, yeah, there's nothing I've achieved compared to that someone I'm seeing on social media. How do you guys ensure that you stay disciplined and just don't be in a hurry, just patient and working on your content? Um, Another aspect of it, I love the fact that you're speaking of discipline and being patient and just waiting for your time. But the aspect of that timeframe of waiting, there's a lot that happens, especially for young people. And you don't have probably they lack, there's someone out there back at home who has same talent. They're looking forward to being artists in regardless of the gender they want to do. But they're thinking, I don't have a group whereby I'm having a producer. I don't have a group where I can partner with someone who's my friend and is willing to put in as much effort as I am putting in these work. And I feel like I truly have the talent, but at the end of the day, I lack the right networks. As you guys have come here to Y254 to talk about your music and your progress and also launching your next song, which will be next week, launching right here. So what should you tell that person who is at home, individual, who is an artist, looking for but lacks the right connection into the industry? Nothing is easy. Okay. Okay, so I would like to also look into, because why do you prefer it's a youthful station, right? And we are looking for young people encouraging them to go after their dreams. It's hip-hop Thursday and it's all about hip-hop music and we're also telling guys back at home, stay tuned because we have more music coming your way. And also, you can follow us on our social media platform that is at Y254 channel, bringing your requests, our residential DJ, we're playing them across to your handle that is at Y254 channel. So make sure you comment and also your playlist. Let them come through. Okay, so you guys are talking about patients and just going consistency on what you want. And so what if you go to the studio and the producer says, no, you can't speed lines, you just go home. Yeah, you can't, you can't speed lines. What did you say? Okay, you know, first thing, okay. Coco, confident, you know, just about anything. Where's the kill dream? Can't be confident. So it doesn't matter whatever Harry has to say, whatever Alphos has to say. To cry, like, immediately I can do it, you know? So as long as we're being told so many knows, we still keep on going, consistency, and just how do you deal with rejection, though? The producer wants to answer that. How do you deal with rejection? What you do is just ask yourself, what do I reject you? I love the sound of that aspect, yes. When you ask yourself that, then you try and figure out what can I do to make myself better, understand? Because no one is perfect. Yes. Like, you all have to start somewhere, you all have to invest in whatever you're trying to do. Yes. Yeah, yeah. And then you keep on pushing? Yeah, keep on pushing. Find someone who knows someone. And then after finding, that is the aspect, find someone who knows someone, but again, you're not just knowing them, you have content, they'll ask you, why do you want to come for Y244? But I've done these and these, yes, and there's look, okay? If I can add something. Yes. Add large everyone who's out there to focus on the skill, because nowadays, the kind of life we're living is knowing people, understand? So first of all, before you know someone or not someone, focus on your skill first, understand? Yes. Because you have, that's why I feel like Kenyan music wasn't played a long time ago, because there was a lot of mediocre critique a long time ago too, because people are getting played because they know someone, but you're focused on skill. So sit down in your room, focus on your skill, make it good. Do what I'm talking about, and you can present someone, and you're proud. Okay. He's good, she's good. So as long as even though network is network, just focus on your skill, focus on what you want to put out there, focus on what you want to be seen doing and what you're representing as an individual. Exactly. Okay, that was nice. Apart from, I would like you guys to speed some lines from Cheesy or any other song of yours, because I fell in love with Cheesy, I love the lyrics, hilarious aspect of it, definitely. But I would like you guys to mention your social media platform so that people back at home can also follow you guys and we can equally learn from, you can, they can approach you and learn something from you as a group. Facebook, IG, Alphonse, the Gimmie, Twitter, Gimmie, underscore, Alphonse. As a group, it's a platform, Kenya. Okay. Love the way you have highlighted. People are just saying, individual social media like, as a group, it's a platform. So, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, it's dtwitchie, d-e-underscore-twitchie, Kenya. Okay. And for me, I'd like to say, the kind of studio we are under, people that are to reach out there, Five Star Music, Five Star Nairobi School of Music. So that's where we are based. Location? Location, Afia Center Development House. Oh, okay. So it's Naban Center, okay, yes, definitely. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Five Star Music. Yeah, that's all I would say. No social media, nothing, nothing. Okay, so the producer is kind of humble, you know. So you guys, you can speed some lines for us, like in any, you can choose a song. Like for me, I would go with cheesy any day, any time. But again, you guys have to choose like, any jam of yours. And I'll just, you know, jam with that. Cheesy, kono cheesy. Don't play cheesy. No, we have instrumentals, we do, let's do events. Yes. Okay, as we wait on the DJ. So you guys, do you have any new plans? Apart from these new jams that's coming up, do you have any resolutions as individuals, you know? For me, I don't have New Year's resolution or anything. I spent like that. I'm like, things that I didn't do last year, we just still go on with them. So you guys as an individual, do you have anything? Nikalinda, do you date, do you change your name? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's supposed to be that way. Resolution, for me, it's music. It's music, I'm going to do that. Yes, let's do more music. Yep. Literally, gross kill, that's all. There's a group that I put them to unblast, who you? I spend more time in the studio, and I put it back in the studio. The end of the resolution is a group, that's where the studio is. Okay. So DJ, drop, drop, drop. I'm going to go to old school now. Okay. Yeah, yeah. It's a little bit early, I'm a rapper. A little bit crazy, I'm a follower. A little bit funny, I don't mind but to be realistic, I don't mind now. I never used to be cocky back in the days, bro. I'm young, I'm a star in a film, Joe. I'm a chick, I'm a ninja, I'm a ninja, I'm feeling nice. I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy. I got the mystical flow, I'm very spiritual, I'm very magical, I'm very credible. I got the credibility to be unpredictable because I'm a guy who's got a lot of art. Still, no. Okay. I'm all about the gola, the ladies want a holla. I'm headed to the bar and I'm dancing gora gora. The brown is the gola, so can I pay the holla? And I'll save my inshallah. Let me sutra it to soahili. Billard mouths, kumbili. Yousef flying, mukti kab!
