How do you describe Rap?
Rap is a form of expression or communication
among youths, more and more are using it to speak out as a voice and just like
music, it is a universal language.
Where do you derive the inspiration for your music?
Life
is my greatest influence. If you stopped and looked around, you'd find that
there's a lot to draw from.
Does this music relate to you in anyway?
Yes. My life and all the experiences
I encountered along the way. Be it in the club or at a funeral.
Mention a song or two I would find on your iPod on repeat.
Youssou Ndour_ Old man &
Angelique Kidjo _Agolo
Are you dating, single, married?
Dating but married to music. Lol.
What’s the best thing about your music and tell me a little about Alwoo the
song.
Working with a producer that
understands to vision and direction of a song I am working on makes life easier
as a writer. Alwoo's inspiration was a combo of real life situations I had gone
through and what I had seen other people go through.
Do you ever get nervous before hitting the stage?
Stage fright nooooo way in fact the
bigger the better, I only get the butterflies minutes before I hit the stage.
Talk about rap’s future in East Africa.
In the future, with unity and
oneness, I see rap being the headlining genre for generations to come.
How do you keep it together as Africa’s Rap Queen?
African
rap queen is my way of saying I am the best at what I do, how I know to do it.
I believe if I do not want to be the best I shouldn't do it to begin with.
Humbly meaning it all comes from within.:)
A word for any aspiring females wanting to join the game?
Stay true to you, do you, learn, work hard and
keep believing, keep dreaming.
Who’s your best rapper at the moment or who would you consider a threat?
Threat? To be honest I am never peeking
through the neighbors gate, I am my own worst enemy, if I stop trying to better
myself I become a threat to my progress and success there from.
We can’t get enough of your flow wats wat?
More
heat, lol, the kitchen is getting hotter, Kekonians are getting hungrier and
the chef is working twice as hard to deliver the best meal to feed them with,
new singles and the long awaited debut album coming real soon.
