He's among the foremost Kenyan rappers who scooped several awards in CHAGUO LA TEENIEZ early 2000's. TING BADI MALO being his most recent release featuring the OG Khalighraph Jones. He's also remembered for HAPPY featuring STL and one of my favourites KANTADA/HUYU NI NANI G. He'll surely be missed.
