All right. All right. All right. All right. So six is your new EP. It's out on your streaming site. Yes, it is. But it's tracks that you picked out of a compilation of tracks that are going to be dropping sometimes soon. Yes. Yes. Yes. You're right. So the EP is called Six. No, the EP actually, it's called Six. Six. Six. All right. What is the name of the project that we are anticipating? Six views to 8K. Six views to 8K. Yeah. All right. First, everybody finds six. Twenty-six. Six. Six was a compilation of six tracks that didn't make it to the six views to 8K in any mixtape. Cause being, I lost all the files. The whole tape was actually complete and I lost all the files. I was left with the six, the demo six that I had on my phone. And I couldn't just trash them. So I decided just let me give it to the fans as well. So those were demo tracks that you had on your phone? Demo tracks, everything, bro. You lost all your files? Yes, I did. Wow. Yes. So I decided just to start again and then Nikanzer transitioned to 19 and I could record and then I'm back to like 20 tracks again. You're back to 20 tracks again? Yes. Six views to 8K. All right. So how did it feel when you lost your files? What? Let me say it was jammed. What? You know, I thought like things were working just against me, but you know. Everything happens for a reason? For a reason, yeah. I think right now I think it's six views to 8K is ten times better than the last one. Wow. So you feel like this was a blessing in disguise? Yes, it was. Manze, thank you God. Manze, you actually put there. So nothing happens for. All right. Gaevo took in our coincidences. Everything has a reason. So thank you. All right. Let's define six views to 8K now that we own it. Okay. So six views you say we have three ADF members. Those are two eyes each. So as you six views, like the six, the six views. We have two leaders. That's Sao, my manager and myself. Two kings because we are the leaders of the ADF music. So ADF music is a label? Yeah. ADF music is the label where I am vice president. Sao is an executive. You are also an executive. Yes. And VP. Sao is the president. And then you're the vice president. Yes. And then the rest are board members. Yes. Wow. Any other artists signed before we can carry on? Not yet. Not yet. All right. All right. So six views. Those are six views. That is six eyes. Yes. AD family. 2K, two kings. Yeah. I didn't have to know ADF music. And then now you have now eight. Eight now include now two leaders. Now we have eight kings now. So six views to 8K. So let me try to get my understanding of this compilation. Yes. It's representing the gang. Yes. Stories about your gang. Yes. Stories about our journey. Story about your journey. Story about our movement. Yes. All right. So many times I've had you say, people were saying, they didn't shrub it or something like that. They didn't shrub it or do this and that. You've been complaining so much about people who didn't believe in shrub. Yes. Tell me the story. Yeah. You know, Manzee, once you start something, people are always afraid of what they do not understand. So like, hey, backlash you make are crazy, you know. People used to actually think it was a joke because they're all doing Swahili. People are like, yo, apart from Nairobi, you're shying. No one else will like understand, you know. So we were like, how dare you, Manzee? What do you mean? Like, I don't want to know what you're saying. And then you just out here wilding. Not making any sense. So every time I try, like, as much as possible, I have to remind people. Dog. I'm not hiding. I'm not hiding. I'm not hiding. I'm not hiding. I'm not hiding. I'm not hiding. I'm not hiding. I'm not hiding. I'm not hiding. I'm not hiding. I'm not hiding. I'm not hiding. I'm not hiding. So you have to insist and persist on that thing. Yes. All right. So I saw a quote that said, you have to love what you do. Yes. And then people will like it. But where? Because there couldn't be a panda. All right. I love what I do. You love what you do. So much, Manzee. All right. So you love what you do so much. All right. So this latest track that you have. Yes. Rumor has it that you are supposed to go to South Africa for Empower. Conference. You were picked by Mr. Easy. But should he make it because immigration is all going to problems now? How did you even know about that? All these things are on the blogs, Manzee. All right. Yes. So I tried to keep that as low as possible. It's the end of the year, but in the start. Yeah. I was a part of the top 100, which he looked like he was crazy. Mr. Easy could choose. Then, fortunately, I was selected as the top 10. I didn't really put an email, but I was just in my best place just chilling. He looked fun. Like, yo, you've been selected to be the top 10. So first, the top 100. And then, emailing in at top 10. Yeah, top 10. So he looked so crazy. Like, yeah, he looked overwhelmed. And then I started working on my documents. But it turns out our staff fight as efficient as an attacker as fast. It was the last week. I was working on a Rudy. So it was nearly too impossible. Nearly too impossible to go. So other Kenyan artists that were picked. Me, Bay T. Karun. Top 100. Top 100. Yeah, Bay T. Karun. Monsky. We had some other guy. What's his name? Forgot his name. Then we had that Cadem. That Kayang Chile. She's like an Adele kind of singer. Oh, yeah, yeah. I've seen her. People are like a lot of talented people. All right. Top 10. You are the only Kenyan. No, myself and Bay T. Yourself and Bay T. But Bay T made it. But Bay T made it. Shout out to Bay T, by the way. Any projects coming out with you and Bay T? Yeah, surprise, surprise. Surprise, surprise. We'll have to wait on that one. Yes. Waitify for a channel on Twitter, Waitify for a channel on Instagram, and Waitify for on Facebook. Is there a way to interact with us? The Sharp God is in studio. If you have any questions, keep sending them. Are we social media handles? It's a couple below the screen. And don't forget the hashtag. Why in the morning? Don't forget the hashtag. Hip hop Thursday. And don't forget to tell us where you're watching us from. So, yes. I recently had a dope. I mean, who's a member of your gang? Yes. So dope. So dope. I also dropped his EP, dropped a video recently is doing his thing. And when you guys were starting out, people thought AD family was a group. But now we see guys dropping their solo projects. You guys come together with the Cusini gang and do your thing. How is this thing set up? We're still a group. As I said, there's AD family. AD family is the group. AD family, Dopei Meme, Butrus, K-Green, and Musa Moomo, the manager. ADF music has the compilation with the DJs and where you can do like your individual tracks. All right. So it's the label? Yeah, the label. When you see Butrus, it's Butrus under ADF music. When you see AD family, it's the three. It's the three. But AD family is still under AD, ADF music. ADF music, yes. All right. Such a good business. You have to have the, what do you call it, the chain. As much as a smart, I don't know. In music, 20% my friend. Everything else is just business. Everything else is business. How did you guys learn all these things? Because so many artists be second guessing things. They just drop things left, right and center. They don't know how to package their stuff. If you ask them about the music, you don't know where to stream it. You cannot find it online. How did you guys come to learn all these things about the music business? It's all about time. You know, sometimes you have to sit down and listen. You know, one thing I can really pick up from being around my fellow artists, not just respect. We don't listen at all. We sit down and listen. We listen. We're driven by emotions, you know. So, ego. So sometimes it's good to have like a manager, someone when you're in a job. You know, like for me, my work is being in the studio. I say maybe it's not as funny, but my manager, I deal with the paperwork. Poor the drinks, yeah. You know. But if I decided it's not funny, if you didn't like my photo, like this guy, I wouldn't come for the interview. It's bad for your image. It's bad for your brand, but to you, out of joy. But once you manage to make money, no, you should do it. When you do it two times or three, I think you can learn. So that's why I say time. Sometimes if you're open to learn, I think it's time to learn. I think it's time to learn. I think just be open to learn. All right. So as you grow in your music career, you picked up a lot of things. You've learned a lot of things. All right. So take your time and learn and do your research. Yes. All right. So another thing that people don't know about Butrus is a producer and audio engineer. Yes. Yes, I do. All right. When did this start? And how did this start? My laptop, YouTube, YouTube tutorials, and a few labs to my producer's place and a few productions. Down the line, my first mixtape, the internet mixed everything. I saw the reaction. I was like, OK, I can do this. My second mixtape got into radio. I was like, OK. So you like my quality. And then from just history. All right. So your second mixtape made it to the radio. Yes. But your first one was a learning process. A learning process, yes. All right. So you have to take the first leap. You have to. And you don't have to be scared to fail it. As I said, my friends and people are afraid of what they do not understand. Let me tell you. You see, what kind of love, your quality, out of time make you a mixtape, tenor. So you have to learn to be patient. You have to learn to be patient. You have to learn to be patient. You have to learn to be patient. You have to learn to be patient. The next time, you have to learn to be patient. It's better. Keep working. Keep dropping. All right. The reason we are here today, see the classes that we are here because of this particular song called wrong. Wrong. So I have to bring up my character. All right. So wrong is, was your submission for this empower thing? My what? Your submission. You guys were submitting songs or what? Because I saw it was dropped on Empower. Yes. Yes, it was. The video was officially dropped on their page. Yeah. So how did this come along? How did you pick this particular song to be dropped on Empower? How did it go? Actually, the choice was all mine. They gave us the liberty of actually choosing the kind of track that you want. The director, everything. Just the whole project. You yourself. And then they have their page where they upload and push for you. See where the market leads. So for me, I was more of like, I don't want to put out something that a lot of people would understand. Necessarily not in a bad way. But I want to put out something that I feel super comfortable doing every time. Super comfortable. I submitted actually like two songs. One was like Half Fungoso. A little bit of Swahili. And I was like, no, no, no, no. I need to be comfortable. I need to really be comfortable. They want to push a guy from Kenya. They're not pushing a guy from Siji State. They're pushing a guy from Kenya. So let me just give them the Kenyan feel that I feel comfortable in the Shrapkat. And they actually loved it. They actually loved it. They loved it. It's doing well so far. People are loving the song. And we can't end this conversation obviously without talking about my Josie. What? Yes. You did your research, my friend. Yeah, yeah. Josie is a good friend of mine. Yes. So sometimes we interact online. Sometimes we do, I think. So when I interact with him, obviously ADVAM comes up. All right. So I saw you guys were shooting the video. We are waiting on this video, my man. Surprise, surprise. Surprise, surprise, surprise. You don't have a date yet? No, no, no, not yet. But soon? Yes. Soon, yes. Yes, yes. We're just waiting for something, you know, just like a something. Plus shout out to our girl. Manzeh. Ashinde B. Team support Mumbai. Was some support here? Was some support Mumbai. One she does there. Manzeh Tuna Pelika. Xwaili International. Xwaili International. All right. So one thing you'll help me with Kablash Malizeh. Yes. You're my one and only. No, no, no. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. I'm just going to have a cup of coffee. All right. Well let's ask. We have a job got in the studio.
