 favorite humans doing? Are you having a fantastic time? I really hope so. Remember you can interact with us at Wifi Phone Facebook, Y254 channel on Twitter. Hashtag is Thursday vibes because we like to serve you with good vibes, not just on Thursday, but it just so happens it's on Thursday and reviving. Yeah, please tell me where you're watching from, what you want to hear. If you have a question for one of our guests, previously we just had a guest with Brian and I think it was quite interesting. If you missed it, please do catch us on YouTube. Yes, and without further ado, my name is Valentine, by the way. Without further ado, let's get into it. Hello. Hello. Hi. Hi. Well, you look nice. Thank you. What's your name? Oh, thank you. What's your name? My name is Beemix. Tell me a little bit about yourself. Beemix is an artist, an actor with appearances and trapeze happened on MTV around 2020. Also an executive producer for a show called The Breakdown 254. Basically, The Breakdown 254 breaks down and talks about the writing process for the artist. Maybe I look like Anisha, but the fans never got it. This is where you come and tell us on The Breakdown 254 and I'm also performing an act. You do a lot of things. Yeah, quite a couple. Okay. I have a question that is, I want to marry what you just said. So, there is this post on, I don't know now what platform that was, social media, so many, but as I see a post and it is of Pop Smoke's, I want to say manager. Yes, the late Pop Smoke. So his manager comes up and says, yo, now that takeoff, may he rest in peace, is gone. Do something with his music and get released an album or something. Now he's talking to the Migos family or what is left of it. And, you know, something about inspiration because Pop Smoke kind of blew up after, you know, that's ridiculous. Yes, so ridiculous. That's giving him his roses after he's died. Anyway, hashtag is one money. So how do you feel about that? About using what? Pop Smoke's manager telling the guys to use takeoff's jumps to release something. Yeah, kind of make an album and just. Well, not even feeling about it. Thing is, it's gonna happen. We're gonna see, we're gonna actually in the next couple of months, duration, we're gonna see a lot of takeoff songs, which we had never heard before, but as you know, he's in Goma, and all that. And the guy is not even there and I remember seeing one of the clips at your interview, he said, give me my roses before I die. And it's sad the roses are gonna come in plenty just after he died. Is that something you're afraid of as an artist? Sort of, but at the same time, I don't know why it's like that has this sort of impact where guys now look at you on a serious note and then they like, hey, okay, this guy was actually really doing something. I believe you're gonna get your roses as you live in, but even as you die, if you left a legacy, that's a legacy. And it's gonna be there even after you're dead. So definitely it's gonna come with other pair of roses you never got. So it's still gonna happen. Sounds a little bit unfair though. Yeah, it's a little bit unfair. I wish we'd get our roses before we die, but sometimes it just tears what it is. What part of you do you think is most dominant? Is it you, the actor, you the artist, you the student, perhaps of life? Well, I'd say the artist. Why the artist? Why? Why the artists? Why the artists? Because usually I find myself in that writing process, that creative process, and most of the time I'm usually thinking about music. The acting side, growing up, I think, I can't remember. Yeah, and then there was the fugitive, Harrison Ford, and I usually loved those movies, I can't face off. And then I was like, then later on I got to appearances, high school to get my MF, university to get the musical, I went to the theater side, and then I later on come to see the acting side, the big project side with the NTV and Najwan is something he called inbuilt in me. The artist side is also inbuilt, but I believe when you work on the artist side, it will also give me placements in the acting side. Oh, that's smart. Okay, so actually, they're all part of me, they're all different talents that I can say blessed with. Oh, humble and also aware, okay, like that, I'll tell you a funny story. So I once upon a time, I used to do stage plays. So my first couple of stage plays, okay, definitely were not good because I didn't go for any training. I just kind of, no practice, we practice, but just the process, like telling you, okay, now you got to enter, when you have a character, this now becomes you. This is you from now until further notice, this is your name, you should be, someone says it, you should turn. No, this is not the name you were born with, but if someone's basic things, I didn't, was not quite aware. So I finally get the hang of it. And then my mom comes to see one of the players. So a few weeks later now, you know, I'm feeling better about myself, I'm feeling a bit more confident. So randomly, my mom asked me to do something. And then my, kind of my response, but I remember her, she told me, why are you sure you're not acting for me? I'm like, okay, thank you for telling me you're such a great actor, but it came out as a reflex. I wasn't even acting though, I was, I was genuinely your natural response. I think the thing is, the thing is the acting is, in as much as you have to be that character, that character is made by you. And there's going to be a little bit of you in that character. That's true. So especially after, let's say you've done such a big project, let's say come out, we've been rehearsing for like months, summer, weeks and weeks, your characters are partying, you may seep in so much that even after, after the show is over, there's no elements. Don't tell you also, you have to kind of come out of the character. Yeah, you have to come out of the character. You know, it's kind of stick with you anyway. It's a whole lot of knowledge. People think acting is, is faking it. No, those emotions are very real. I'm just directing them somewhere else. You have to tap into, maybe you're acting a scene where maybe you're breaking up, you can, you're acting on the stage is not what you're feeling, but you'll have to tap into somewhere, you'll have to tap into that brief, that emotion will bring equal life. So at the end of it all, in as much as you're acting, there's the realness in it. Like I had a bad day the previous day, and then I find myself on stage. And then your character was crying. Yes, it was so amazing. You took advantage. And you see the good thing about acting, for actors, I can say it's also kind of masks some, some aspect for us. So for you, you took advantage of that. You let out that grief in such an easy way, guys would say you were doing amazing. But deep down, there's no grief, there's no sorrow, there's no sorrow. It comes with the parts of acting. Do you ever worry about being type-casted? Like you do really well as, say when you're in command, boom, boom. But do you want to audition for a doctor or some psychologist out there, but they're just saying fighting? Well, currently, after you were back in the in the university days, we used to do a lot of projects, mini plays and stuff. And they'd always give me this father character. It's unique one, Nini. They'd always give me this father character. I don't see that coming. I was always given this father character, and I don't know why, it's maybe because I usually am almost 24-7 in trench coats. I'm not a trench coat, I'm not checking. So this is out of character? This is out of character a little bit. Just a little bit. Not entirely because my brand image is actually all black red glasses. There's that aspect of being all black that adds a little bit of danger. I just love it. And then the red adds a little bit more danger, so it's, yeah. So usually in trenches, the zone up at Nikiwa Shulewa is the father figure. I was like, but okay. Because I was kind of comfortable in it. I was kind of comfortable. So sometimes I was slack. But I wouldn't want to be typecast. Because when I was in Mahali, after being typecasted a lot, you get too comfortable. You don't explore other avenues that you might have, that might have had that spice. But you just never got to it because umez zoya kufanya. He, Nikiwa Mokoki, do the whole time. You need to be, you know, feel comfortable. That's the thing. Okay, and then you feel comfortable. Hey, budji, you think you're funny. Show them. Snap out of it. Snap out of it. All right, go into your music. Now you said you have something new coming up. Yes, I have an album coming. Yes. When did you sleep? Okay. We're trying. We're trying. I have an album coming. This is my debut album as I'm also graduating. So do you call it sophomore album? Mama ni nini. Is sophomore mama ni nini? Let's call it sophomore. Yeah, but basically this is my first album coming out. I released some of the tracks previously. That is for them thrown, no lies, what did you mean, and for a band. And the thing is, Kikai Chinuskise is called almost different vibes. Throw me some classical vibes. Guys used to come into a semi-cona. Some ice cube type of things, hints type of thing. And then no lies is where the story gets deep. It's some hip hop, emo rap. And then firebun is just completely the opposite. To Nakuja, to Nandaku firebun, it's some reggae vibes, some feel good vibes. Did you just say reggae? I would never have begged you for that. Imagine that and then there's also some Afro vibes in it. But basically the whole album, from the very first song to the last song, is a storyline. Nelu kis kise bila kushaful. Kuna ka story kana ndelia, macheki. Kana ndelia, lakin ni mila design any. Each song individually is a vibe. One is kise individually is a vibe, but Kikai Chinuskise is the whole thing. It has this bigger picture. You're like, okay, I never saw that. What's the name of that dufkiri? Excess. Jamal. Lazim. The thing is I try to do things that just not face value. That years on later guys are going to come back to this and they're going to say like, Atakama, this guy is doing big this time. Atahio time. Badu alikwam, no? Badu alikwam, normal. Was in. I try to make, when I'm making my stuff, when I'm making my music, something that is going to be timeless. Now for you to do that, ayesi kwa just shallow. It has to have a lot of aspects to it. Wuna pa dasa sa easy like, let's say, for example, I have a new song that is out, Lemon Paper. Lemon Paper basically ni akwambi wa say, thrown the album is coming, macheki. Wow. Basically, that's just it. But it's a crazy thing. No, interlude. You just want to just give us a full track. And it's a whole six-minute track. Thanks, beat it. Ya kwa ambi wa two wa say, basically, the thrown the album is coming and kwa ni sha wa say, just a bit of words, me, currently. And um, oki skiza, Lemon Paper, kunam say, Atakama, kai chinia, skiza, skiza. Eh, okay, this guy did a whole six-minute. That's crazy. That's dope. I end it. Kunam say, Takuja kai chinia, as kiza, skiza, as kiza. As kia, eh, ni ujama al kwa na flow. As kia, eh, the flow was legit, men flow, top. I end it. Kunam say, wungi ni atakuja. Now this is later. Monya me kuja me kai chinia, kaka skiza flow, kuja kai chinia, kaka skiza. The six minutes later on, on a kuja tena wa kuja, the second time, o kuja kuskiza, naka skiza. Okay. Kunakitunja, ma kumbi al kwa na say, ma kumbi si ku flow pe kia, there's something he's actually saying. Waskiza. And then they go. Kuna na, then later on, wungi kuja naka ku, dissect what I was actually saying. And then on a real, kuna de, de, kuna ma buzz zingine ziko hapo, kuna zingine ma interludes kuna de, kuna de, double in tundras, muna zi tangaji triple in tundras, all those things. As in, kuna, some other aspects ziko in, word play wise, you'd never see it just from the upper view. So there's, kuna eleviu ku yanga li liya hapa, and then you get closer, you realize there's something else, and then you get closer, you realize there's something else. That's what I try to do. As in, ii unningo ma niku soshiwa, years later on, they're still gonna study this. They're still gonna study this. Not even play. Study. You're getting study. I'm gonna be studying this. Weh. All right. Now, you're giving me gas. I'm so excited not to listen to your album. Man, you can sell yourself well. Good job. Very, very good job. Okay. Do you sample your music to people who you... Okay. Let me rephrase it like this. There is the public eye, and then the people you care about, and then there is their opinion of you. So it could feel or slap different when you talk a stranger about your music, or you sample it to them, versus someone who you actually knows you maybe, perhaps. And someone you care about. Yes, there you go. So do you sample to... Yes. Walai. Yes, actually. It doesn't feel so vulnerable and... There was this one song, actually. What did you mean is a hardback song, also part in the album, and it reflects on Nolai's. It's kind of like going back to Nolai's. And in Nolai's, basically it was a whole confrontation where it got so haywire. The love relationship went south. But that was the first time I was dropping something of that sort. Mecheke. Previously Nilikwanme dropped Thron. Thron is a classical vibe. Basically, Nilikwanme said, say, I'm good. But I could be bad. Mecheke. I'm a good guy, but I could be bad. And inside, there are hints that the album, what is going to happen is the whole album progresses. I'm the villain that your hero can die to. Okay, and in the fire band, we'll see the hero. And later on, if you listen to the album, you'll see the villain. You see. But Niki Thron or Nolai's, at that point, where I tapped that emotion from, because I tapped it from somewhere. I was in such a low place that Nilikwanme put out that he was like, I'm not good. See, he was like, bro, are you okay? Are you okay? Bro, are you okay? Because Nilikwanme put out because Nilikwanme put out into the music, I'm not good. I'm so sure. It has the human emotions. I'm sure they'll be able to do it and relate to it. They'll say, that was my aim. I'm sure they'll say, I'm not good. Bro, are you okay? Hey, hey, hey. I'm sure they'll say, so Nilikwanme put out so 50-50 about it. But, as always, there are those people who you value their opinion. And as much as there's the public eye, there are those guys who are your people. So, definitely, I'm sure they'll say, yo, bro, what are you saying? What are you saying? Drop that shit. Drop that hit, man. Yeah. So, definitely, there are those people who say, I'm not good, but if you have a point pair, they'll say, I'm not good. I'm not good. I'm not good. I'm not good. I'm sure they'll say, I'm not good. I'm not good. They'll say, I'm not good. I'm not good. Oh yes, by the way, they know I'm never good, you feel vulnerable telling people, but at the end of the day, I think everybody has their own people, when you value their opinion, before the big, the big, the big, the whole world I know you want your music to be timeless Do you ever feel the pressure of staying relevant? Because clearly music has waves This industry It's not as good as it used to be as if it's never existed Spinn around And then Gaginton was there and then Kamata was there But there are destructors for two minutes Let me tell you Previously, the world is full of waves Flannery and raedim And then size it's weird Kamata and the waves But the thing is for me To make my music My target is To tap into something Guys can relate to as a human As long as you're human There's something you can never feel From that song you can relate to So and I believe with that aspect in itself It kind of makes it beyond the wave When I say wave comes It's Peter But this song It's like I'm touching It's like a lighthouse In the ocean It's like a lighthouse When I say mama The waves come Time comes Everything is happening But it's too much And this song Trust me After years of coming here It's very much relevant That's the thing Because I talk about human emotions And everybody As long as you're human You'll feel something Does it offend you if people Openly Do not vibe with your music? Well, not really Because everybody is entitled To their own opinion Actually, I see Vibes and emotions Are very different When I say openly I think it's trash Of course, it's bad It's bad So I'm still waiting But In the event that I say it's trash It's okay That's your opinion There's no value Check it out There's a clip on Instagram Let's say As an artist I'm not sure if it's true But we charge for Zilla experiences And all the time It's a waste So I'm here to charge This for this I'm here to say Bro, this is Slightly expensive And I'm here to charge And I'm here to perform At a way cheaper price At a maybe Just for the exposure and stuff Because exposure gets things We also know guys Who will pay better money Than what you're offering See, that's the thing That's the thing So I'm here to say Openly Bro As long as Intentionality wasn't Being negative as in I don't know if it's true With the publicity Bro, I'm not sure As in, it's true I'm a same But I'm not sure if it's true Or if it's true Bro And if this is someone That is offering Proper, real criticism I'm not on the sideline Constructing Bro You know what I feel? Some people If they beat you And they say If they slap you Some people will say If they hit you They may be No That's Proper Criticism You know what I mean? Constructive Constructive criticism But If you say Just to blow your face Bro, I'm not Actually That's you I'm not going to say I'm not going to say Okay, they're telling me We're running out of time But I don't know why We just Sat down Okay, two more questions Okay, let me make it one There was a list The other day that was released Something about And Prayana said to me last week Something about The most streamed songs In Kenya Like top ten Not one of them was a Kenyan Wow Not one Wow So we put it out there We gave it to our viewers And then They gave us this reason And honestly I'm asking him because Me pa dosi wa pachi Hashtag the stay stay vibe So alse ma Ni kama Uwa san ni wa Kenya akona kiburi san How do you think How do you take that I don't even know Like sijui Oh Wasut iwa Kenyas do yana kona kiburi mingi ati I don't understand if it's that We cannot relate to them Because they feel Or allegedly feel I don't know How would you take that Kuskiam san ni kama Yata kona kiburi san By the way Well I'm still trying to Understand the context of it all But You sing For the whole top ten list There was no single song And the Kenyans Were saying It's because Wasani Wa kona kiburi How does that Affect the top ten list To Be on me But Kona kitu pi anya shal kama Sayama Sometime baka ki Yana kiburi wa sijui I think for some city And something akambe Wasawam buti ya waka ringa And he commented on Kebs Akasema He refused to follow me On I.G.O. I'm not voting Ah ah Something, I think Akasema that on Kebs Naka in elea kasema It's a free country You can do as you please And then God bless Even before you sneeze I can't remember the exact lyrics But Suidi san mati wa san yaw kona kiburi Ono juo As long as you know your worth As long as you know your worth Musey mingine mo nyakopale haju yaw worth They're gonna be like Eh bro I Me na juem se Yana zafa nyabis Chee pa ni ni ni ni But That's not my worth That's just it Standard zangu zin me zif kisha hapa Fika hapa to wak Ono cheke Suidi san mati wa san yaw kona kiburi First of all, one of the reasons why I'm saying Maybe we're not on the top 10 list is because Kenyans wanna say man ga play ke a lot They've been saying that a lot Alafu And then wakuyo na pata kuna wa se Ngine piwa wana sema Oh Akuna Content ya maana kenya And then they Wana let anka kaka ngine Kame Akana sense alafu And they say Is this what you want us to support What you want us to play ke And this is what they need And they are actually Other songs Ziko huku And they're doing so dope But We'll make no So I think Pea Kenyans wakuna ignorance Kuna ve la tu peat kuna ignorance That's why sometimes We sleep on ourselves Last question Last question guys I promise Hashtag to stay safe So Yes, it's important The sequence of the songs in your album That you told us tells the story So there must be an importance How you name them Why did you name it throne? Why did you name it? Yes The last reggae one And they were like Wana kenya Pitu mina kumbuka direk Well The name of the album is called throne Each song would realize Actually some of the songs Atokis Kiza Wukia nga liya Lyricaly wise nga vinyani main But wukia nga liya That the title of the song Might not actually Even be in the song Really? Yes But What I was making Nili inaku peat that vibe Of what the title is Wana cekii So The whole song In my summary is one of your title And The whole idea of throne And in another song Also along in the album Which is called chasing dreams Chasing dreams is coming soon It's almost the same mantra as throne Throne nga samanga And I'm always going to be aiming for the throne In chasing dreams Nga sama Chasing dreams In a sort of sense Throne Is me Just chasing my dreams Wana wana In another context Aiming for the throne Is the same as chasing my dreams Nga nga sama And I'm always going to be aiming for the throne Right now I'm pacing I'm chasing Can stand at the seat I practically know And I can miss See I only got two options And they both for the win And we can drop The facade there was no option to quit Damn Now I'm wrecking And almost now I'm wrecking Whether you're thinking it's the same And not it really don't matter I've been through a lot That's still really don't When it comes to chasing dreams Then it really does Basically The whole album In Angalele chasing your dreams And then there's also the aspect of heartbreak Wana So you can imagine chasing your dreams Wana usually Guys are fueled by positive Emotions on a book Go chase your dreams But I wouldn't imagine this If you were fueled by negative emotions To chase your dreams What would you be? Wait Not anything good You'd be a monster Yeah You'd be a monster Hey And that's where the villain comes out Where is Paul Abbas? He's gonna be bad You read a lot Yes Yeah I can tell Joey, where's the one-a-word I'm giving you You can't be playing with my mind Like that if you don't read Okay Right so yes Like I promised was my last question Although I will have several others I'm behind the scenes But that's neither here nor there Hashtag is Thursday vibes Please do tell us how to get in The touch with you If we are allowed to get in touch with you How to get your music And things like that You can find my music out on Spotify Deezer, Boneplay, YouTube All the rest All the music platforms at Beemix, KE Spell it Wait, wait I am here Did in the example, yeah Spell it Beemix, B, M, I, XX You're in YouTube Yeah KE KE Official All right Okay Yes Instagram and all those little And Instagram, Twitter, all the rest Basically you can search Beemix, KE Which is actually on Google Which is here And you can also catch up with me On Friday We'll be at J-Quart, Halloween Performing a long great artist Akinna Kami Akinna Brenda Minor Akinna Ndugu Akinna Atsi It's gonna be a whole vibe Happening on Friday So guys can catch up with me then If you miss on Friday You can also catch up with me on Sunday We're gonna be at Lavalate It's gonna be a whole vibe You are busy clearly this weekend Yes All right Okay, there we go So Beemix in the house And I am quite intrigued If you are not Me nongo jayu album By the way Very much so Meanwhile at 254 Facebook By 254 Channel On Twitter Hashtag of the day It says their vibes Now you stay there And we'll be right back After this short break
