The first time I came to meet 진짜 siliwa andbetepu I started thinking, why don't you give me a look at me... A little lost, but it was a short conversation with Magiwa What happened? We sure have made the move We know that too many people really have watched and learned I told them that at least they have something we listen to before they go back to school Musiki Imitahs serpentu teki siha kwenia. Ya We don't have a lot of scouts and stuff, you know. A lafum ziki sujimbona wali fokus on specific places. I get what Lianza before, like Dandora, Kibii, Kiskiya hip-hop, kakakia muna fokus on specific places and stuff. But really hip-hop just pops. You can come from anywhere, just random music or whatever, as long as it's good music. But let me correct you there, CCC, Niwao. No, no, no, next time. Do you know where to FF4 is all about? Like Sio here today, where to FF4 is all about discovering these people. So when you guys reach out to us, from wherever state, I mean origin of this country, you know, what you need to do to FF4, CCC, Niwao. Niwao, one door na wa fanyu wa na kategorize. But the platform is all yours, man. Natu na shikuru sana, bedi na shikuru sana, thank you so much. But I get what you mean. I think kukusapostu kwa na vitu mingi zina kusanya ma youth tsemi, in general, like kila mitu to a specific thing, because kukusanya ma youth, ni futa. Futa, futa ikona support yote. Same as Kibera. Ya, una laikanya ni futa. Ni either you're doing books or you're doing sports, na puna support tsemi. But kuna izi other things, kuna music, kuna mitu iako geto niza trak cheda lontenis, maybe na shizia apilontenis. Kuna vitu staff to mingi zina kwa zikreatiwiz opportunities. Akuna vitu za kutoshia. Okay, great. So I have a take home with me today, na kitu mojo na takaku, tamboa leo na ni ambi epia watu enginu konje producers and people in the industry. You know, we need to go out there and get you people. Ida ni kasa, Ida ni fika, Ida ni ruiru, juja. Nyambia kwingini me, kisumo. Everywhere, sendo. Kus hip-hop is not about Kajole and Kibera and... Quote. Quote maze. So kwa descriptioni ako me sema you have, ye songs are all over, these many platforms, this music platforms. How do you go about putting content on these platforms? Kus na jokun na msi apkaming uko maze anashanga. Nenda jeku kuwe kangoma kwa maybe skiza ama angoma ama all these other platforms that you've talked about on your social profile. Okay, vitu zingi no transitaftia, kina skiza and stuff, iso lazima physical appearance and stuff, like you take yourself there, pe ana miziki a go and stuff. Oh, offices. There are offices. Okay. Iso kina angoma, like you have to physically present yourself ama seme your label lama something has to be there. In order. As in, in order to sign these all stuff kwa pay rights za kwa upload vitu za kwen stuff, kuna iso. So you're, I think you underwaga kaziya mcsk and stuff, how distributors water. But now come to kama mimi, Siko signed and stuff. Kutaka, seme ni amue itunes, kina Spotify, kina stuff kuna digital distributors, kama... Siko anata kuna ziadbeta iso ma... Seme zi kenda distributors. Kina songcast, distro kid, kuna postuko zina distribute. Oh, so they have a website where you can just directly post your song and distro kid dot com. And then they do the work of distributing it. Is it a Kenyan based or it's not? Okay. Kenyans out there, can we create some of these opportunities for ourselves so we can create more employment and at the same time to execute spread the word that is hip-hop and other things that are part of this music industry. By other things, we'll pull content and stuff. Sorry, hi. Anyway, yo mazeo sinichu ke, bana tako toambie, what's the future like before we wrap up? Bright. The future looks bright. Yeah. As long as you put in work, kaziya all day, kama mungu alali, atwaiku lala, P.S.C. mazeo. Tundo. Mazeo. Okto alikwa na listia ke ya, listia steps to take for you to succeed.
