Oh, yeah. 91 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,440 Yeah. That's how my week has been, 92 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,400 really just me being under the weather. 93 00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:30,440 Aside from that, just been working on a bunch of music. 94 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,760 Yeah. I actually made a ton of beats 95 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,480 this week. Also been working on editing 96 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,720 videos. Yeah. 97 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,720 I've been saying that's been really interesting. 98 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,920 Yeah, yeah, just kind of tinkering, seeing what the 99 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,520 algorithm likes. Sometimes it's like, well, you 100 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,440 know, am I going to sit around and wait to like find like dope 101 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,960 video editors to like kind of do do stuff for me or like I'm just 102 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,760 going to learn it myself. So yeah, just kind of decided to 103 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,480 learn how to. Yeah, because it's easier. 104 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,880 It's just way easier. So that's currently what the 105 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,760 industry has done to me, man. It has also made me. 106 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,160 VJ Editor. Figure out how to how to edit 107 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,160 videos because unfortunately not unfortunately, you also just 108 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,840 have to find innovative ways to market the music. 109 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:24,320 And that's what I've really been, that's what's been in my 110 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:31,040 mind a lot this week, just thinking about how can I market 111 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:37,240 music and merge that with visuals with a limited budget. 112 00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:41,560 And I was like, OK, yes, now because since I have a limited 113 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,680 budget, let me learn how to do the videos. 114 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,040 So that's really what my week has been. 115 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,760 Are there any similarities between editing and like editing 116 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,520 videos and editing beats? Because we do edit beats, 117 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,240 Essentially that's what we're doing is we edit. 118 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,200 Beats yeah, yeah, actually, there are a lot of similarities, 119 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,640 man. I really respect the craft of 120 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,960 like, editing videos. It's really fun. 121 00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:06,880 Although it's really, it's really nice because it's like 122 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:12,200 you spend a long time editing a 32nd clip and you put a lot of 123 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,080 effort into the transitions and the cuts and like the timing of 124 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,200 things and everything. Yeah, just for 30 seconds. 125 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,560 But like, it's really fulfilling once you do something like 126 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,440 there's sometimes you, you have like some really random moments 127 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,480 of like, this is actually insane. 128 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,440 Like there's one editor I made and I was just experimenting 129 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,400 things. So I just like cut, I cut the 130 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,400 the the I cut the clip and then I, I chopped it into like 131 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,440 multiple pieces. Yeah, I don't know how to 132 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,320 explain this. Yeah, this is into audio, Audio 133 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,160 podcast. This is not to describe and I'm 134 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,720 doing hard. To describe editing in an audio 135 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,240 podcast, Yeah, let's see how you do this. 136 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,800 Yeah, but like I chopped it into multiple pieces. 137 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:03,160 I left spaces in between and then I like, I like, like, like 138 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,720 gradually increased like the volume of the music bed and 139 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,120 like, I don't know how to, And then I timed the drop perfectly. 140 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,160 It was such an amazing like thing. 141 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,840 Like I did like just on the spur of the moment and I was like, 142 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,600 yeah, this is actually really fun. 143 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,840 I'm kind of so I, I've been just like editing on Cop Cut because 144 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,120 like it's free, but over late. They've what they've done. 145 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,680 They've introduced the they've yeah, they've introduced a pro 146 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,600 version and I'm so upset with Cop Cut, man Y'all, you guys 147 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,640 were supposed to be for the people, man. 148 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,000 What's the why? Why did you have to make a pro 149 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,159 version? And then like, because now like 150 00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:44,600 there's a bunch of dope transitions, there's a bunch of 151 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,640 dope transitions, effects and all that type of stuff that's 152 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,240 now in the pro tier. And I'm like, bro, like we had 153 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,160 this stuff for free literally two weeks ago. 154 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,360 Like why? This was so unnecessary, man. 155 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,240 Capitalism is annoying. We knew that. 156 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,320 AFAM was going to start editing and he's going to need this 157 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,800 thing, so we need to get Afam's money. 158 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,520 Yeah, they get you hooked.

It's a weird space where the 188 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,520 days are moving fast enough for me to notice they're moving 189 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,320 fast, but not fast enough for me to not notice what that's made 190 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,400 sense in my head. But anyway it's they're just 191 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,680 they are blurring in in some aspects. 192 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,600 And Saturdays, Friday and Fridays, Monday and last 193 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,400 yesterday and the day before yesterday was Sunday. 194 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,360 So I don't know what's happening. 195 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,680 But it's cool though, progress getting some work done. 196 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,600 Been doing some writing, writing, writing songs, which is 197 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,640 fun. Writing songs, writing melodies. 198 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,360 That's cool. I'm taking care of my stray cats 199 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,000 who have become much more clingy than I would like them to be. 200 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,880 But that's that. Not to bore people with that. 201 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,240 So yeah, man, we're here to talk about the industry. 202 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,160 Let's get into it. Let's get into it. 203 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:13,240 OK, there wasn't much happening this week as as per like news. 204 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,320 But I guess an interesting thing that happened earlier in the 205 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:23,640 week was we saw posts from Yashinsky and Savara as well as 206 00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:29,200 the Madaraka Festival page kind of announcing that the highly 207 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:35,760 anticipated USA tour for 2024 hosted by Madaraka Festival 208 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,200 would be without its headliner, Yashinsky, as well as a few 209 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:47,000 other guests such as Savara. And so just reading from reading 210 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:53,200 the from the, from their Instagram, they say they they 211 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,680 released a statement saying throughout the past decade, the 212 00:11:56,680 --> 00:12:01,040 Madaraka Festival has proudly stood as the most enduring 213 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,720 African music festival. Our commitment has seen us grow 214 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:10,160 from a single annual event in Seattle to a vibrant celebration 215 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,480 spanning 13 cities. This year, as we near our 10th 216 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,920 anniversary, we are excited to mark this significant milestone 217 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,240 with all of you. However, regrettably, due to 218 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,880 unforeseen visa processing issues impacting some of our 219 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,000 headline performers, we find it necessary to postpone the 220 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,280 festival to a later date within the year. 221 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,880 And then they say Ticketmaster will be sending emails to all 222 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,280 current ticket holders with instructions and information on 223 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,960 refunds, and refunds will be available at point of purchase. 224 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,360 Nyashinski also released a statement saying we regret to 225 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,360 announce that due to factors beyond our control, we will be 226 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,720 unable to perform at the USA Madaraka Festival 2024. 227 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,520 Despite the diligent efforts of the organizers, they were unable 228 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,560 to secure visas for our team's entry into the US. 229 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,240 We had very much looked forward to the tour and we sincerely 230 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:16,520 apologize for all the inconvenience this has caused. 231 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,400 I know a lot of people are very disappointed. 232 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,800 I mean, and I'm sure a lot of money has been lost because I'm 233 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,960 sure it was a huge investment already. 234 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,400 So it's unfortunate that they wouldn't be worrying. 235 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,320 How do you feel about this? Like what are your your initial 236 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,320 like thoughts? Well, I mean. 237 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,840 Like seeing the consolation and stuff. 238 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,120 It always it always sucks because it's an opportunity to 239 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,800 grow or to, to celebrate music, right. 240 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,840 So that's, that's, that's terrible. 241 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,120 That's, that's kind of that's, that's whack. 242 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,200 It's not good and all all the opportunities. 243 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,480 I'm not just thinking about. I'm not just thinking about 244 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,400 Yashinsky and Savara. I'm thinking about all the band, 245 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,720 the people that are going with them, the people in the bands 246 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,800 and. Oh my God, just the people. 247 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,560 Play in the background who have like a really good opportunity 248 00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:14,840 to add to their artist resume and actually the experience of, 249 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,600 you know, playing shows in a different country and all that 250 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,240 business. Yeah. 251 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,080 So that's that. That must be very disappointing. 252 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,640 And also since the announcement, I'm pretty sure there's been a 253 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,200 lot of practice time that has been put into it and money spent 254 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,880 into preparing, which is, I won't say it's lost because they 255 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,240 could always use what they've prepared for later on. 256 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,680 But then just that anticipation linked with the loss, I guess 257 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,680 that's just kind of sad. It would have been good to see 258 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,600 again because we haven't really seen ya since we've seen Shin 259 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,840 city here and we've really wanted to see him perform 260 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,240 outside. So it would have been really 261 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,400 good to see that. I guess we now we have to wait 262 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:58,320 for that and hope that there's there's a new Ave. to yeah I 263 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,920 mean that it comes around again. Who was he taking on the tour 264 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,360 again? Savara and. 265 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,000 Oh, I would, Eddie Kenzo. I would have to con. 266 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,160 I would have to confirm because it was Nyashinsky. 267 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:16,360 Eddie Kenzo, Savara of Sautiso Dynamic and Naomi Achu. 268 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,560 Yeah, you see, there's, there's also also artists who are really 269 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,720 looking forward to, you know, breaking ground in that way. 270 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,560 So. And the and the and the tour was 271 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,560 actually, well, it was supposed to start today. 272 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,560 Oh, really? Oh my God. 273 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,120 It was actually, yeah, it was actually supposed to be in 274 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,960 Dallas. So that would just be like an 275 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,160 hour from where I am. Of course, you'd be going right 276 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,280 to support your Kenya. People going considering yeah 277 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:47,440 and then Houston, Boston and then New York and they're 278 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,280 supposed to end at Seattle on the 17th of June. 279 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,120 Well, they were going to go to Dallas, Houston, Boston, NY, 280 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,760 Philadelphia, Washington, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Denver, 281 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,240 San Francisco, Phoenix and LA Wow, that was actually a really 282 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,280 dope man. Even me. 283 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,200 I had to feel very disappointed if like but like why is it get 284 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,800 why brah? This is my frustration with 285 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,960 America. Like getting a visa as a Kenyan 286 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,640 to America is such a long. Process, Yeah, like the process 287 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,160 has become, it seems like it's become more difficult, at least 288 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,800 from from the feedback. They make it, they intentionally 289 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,920 make it so difficult. You can apply for like one of 290 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,280 those visa meetings. Like you could even take like 291 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,080 months. And you pay for that joint too, 292 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,720 right? And then you you pay for it. 293 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,160 Yeah. You pay for that just to get 294 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:36,960 rejected. Yeah. 295 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,760 Do you think it's actually annoying? 296 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,680 And then they ask you for like they ask you for hella 297 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,760 information. That just seems. 298 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,480 Irrelevant. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 299 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,480 Who was your primary school teacher like? 300 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,000 You don't know him. You don't know him. 301 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,480 You. Don't have to do with anything. 302 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,120 Don't worry, you don't know him. Have to do with anything, man. 303 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,040 Like, I don't know why it's so weird. 304 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,480 Like sometimes I look at this world and I'm like, man, like 305 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,040 we've complicated so many things in life. 306 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,560 Like we're all human beings. Like, why does it have to be 307 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,760 like, OK, It's like getting into our country is such a special. 308 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,599 I mean, you play the devil. But like we can get into your 309 00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:18,160 country without any like difficulty. 310 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,839 Like why is things so one directional? 311 00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:22,560 You know what I mean? Just because you're. 312 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,400 Yeah, I. Don't know. 313 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,280 Yeah, I get, I get that because security, right? 314 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,360 Security is really paramount. Security is one of the 315 00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:35,040 security's biggest. So they, they should be, as they 316 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,400 should be as stringent with with security as they possibly can. 317 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,440 Do you think, do you think the government should try and figure 318 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,560 out a way, and this is just me shooting out a thought that I'm 319 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,680 currently processing as, as I'm saying, do you think the 320 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,640 government should try and figure out a way to work with the 321 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:56,240 different embassies to create like maybe a special yeah thing 322 00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,080 for artists and for art? Yes, definitely. 323 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,080 Because I feel like it's such a dope opportunity to one, spread 324 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,920 the agenda of what's happening in Kenya, Kenyan music, like you 325 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,840 never know what's going to come out from Kenyans touring the 326 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,960 world. You know, that's so much dope 327 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,560 opportunity that can be reinvested into the country. 328 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,360 So I think the government should take a vested interest in some 329 00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:24,720 of these things because like, you know, they should intervene 330 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,560 how they can like if if we can get you guys visas. 331 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,400 True. Let's because I feel like the 332 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,600 country stands to benefit. It does, whether it's even 333 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:38,200 through advertising, the fact that Kenya has artists who are 334 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,600 eligible to like, tour in Europe or America, like it brings a lot 335 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,640 of attention. And then you never know who's 336 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,440 like, Americans might listen to Savara and be like, farm, this 337 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,040 is fire. Yeah, it definitely it grows the 338 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,440 creative. He makes more money as a result 339 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,200 of all those eyeballs. I don't. 340 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,040 Know it grows the creative economy and I think that's 341 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,640 that's one of the things that it does the current president said 342 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,160 that he wants to do is is grow. The Oh yeah, the current 343 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,240 president. What a guy. 344 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,000 He's currently over there, actually. 345 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,320 No, he, he just, no, he just landed. 346 00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:13,800 He landed I believe today. Yeah, he's he's in Kenya now. 347 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,920 Yeah, he's back. But anyway, yeah, he was there 348 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,600 doing what he was doing. Maybe that's maybe those are 349 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,880 some of the talks he was having, who knows? 350 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,000 Getting snubbed, getting snubbed by the likes of Tyler Perry, 351 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,760 That's. Why I don't? 352 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,920 I don't want to. Say our whole president. 353 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,200 Imagine our whole president being snubbed by that's an 354 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:38,560 uneasy by Madea Madea. Imagine, imagine. 355 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,120 My dear, serving a whole head of state, he has, he has an army 356 00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:45,720 under his control. He's loved by my dear man. 357 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,120 OK, now, now that we're here, man, now that we're this is just 358 00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:54,040 like a sidebar I suppose, man.

Ha ha, ha, ha. 385 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,720 I'm like, bro, you're making us look so backward like like 386 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,480 Kenyans don't like maybe watching. 387 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,840 Yes. Maybe we might be, might be 388 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,680 going to school on Lions. Actually, maybe. 389 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,000 We really might be, I don't know, swinging with the monkey? 390 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,560 Well, they claim they claim to have gotten like a lot of 391 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,320 benefits from America, but like, yeah, I. 392 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,440 I mean, hopefully the hope is that he's, he's done like 393 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,920 something that would benefit because spending all that tax 394 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,000 money for, for, for, you know, the trip. 395 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,680 And of course, Kenyans are never going to see back here at home. 396 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,680 You're never going to see anything like that as a positive 397 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,800 thing because it's our money that you're using. 398 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,240 And it seems very very. It seems a bit. 399 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,720 They seem to have secured a lot of like funds and stuff for anti 400 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,520 corruption which is ironic because I have a feeling that 401 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,280 money will. Go into now I'm getting tight. 402 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,200 Can we leave the let's leave politics when I'm getting tight? 403 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,040 You're going to get actually, we could, we could actually just 404 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,800 segue into content creation and sort of there's a little thing 405 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,760 that's bubbling. Oh yeah, and the fact that he 406 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:31,080 taxes everything that moves. Everything that moves, at some 407 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,280 point they're going to figure out a round, a roundabout way to 408 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,080 tax taxing itself. Like I'm pretty sure there's. 409 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,400 No, I'm telling you, they might come for podcasting. 410 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,240 They might come for podcasting pretty soon. 411 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,760 We might be actually. Let me not put that energy in 412 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:45,560 the world. Let let me. 413 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,360 Not Oh no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, 414 00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:48,440 wait, wait. Alpha. 415 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,840 Brilliant segue, because they're actually already coming for for 416 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,560 podcasting. It's so. 417 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,880 Tell me how some this? Is what you did. 418 00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:01,800 So this is a very new developing story, but it's really, I think 419 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,040 it's really important. So I think it was yes. 420 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,160 Is it yes, No, it was today morning from the Internet. 421 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,560 The main story happened yesterday. 422 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,280 I think I'm not sure the timeline is kind of weird, but 423 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,480 today morning I'm online just going through seeing what's 424 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,960 going on, you know, catching up on my industry, industry news 425 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,600 and everything like that. And I saw the the a really 426 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:29,760 popular podcast, the Econini podcast have gotten well, the 427 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,520 host of the Econini, one of the hosts of the Econini podcast, 428 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,000 MAF Maflica. He was, I think it's actually in 429 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,680 the States. He was, he was, he went on a 430 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,600 little bit of a little rant. I think they had gotten a, a, a 431 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:48,200 legal document, as we would put it, a legal document from a 432 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,680 legal document from the Kenya Film and Classification Board. 433 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,320 And he was just on, it's on YouTube if you, if you need to 434 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,480 go see it, It's hardly really important for content creators 435 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,360 to to just catch up on what's happening because it's going to 436 00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:05,840 affect everyone. He, he was ranting about what 437 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,640 they had sent. So basically he had gotten a 438 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:13,520 legal document saying, talking, requesting. 439 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:21,000 I think that or rather putting forth the idea that that content 440 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,560 creators specifically, First off, specifically on YouTube, I 441 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,160 think that was the major thing on YouTube. 442 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,520 Of course they have a podcast, but they post a video on 443 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,040 YouTube. So content creators on YouTube 444 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,640 are going to need licenses, licences to post their their 445 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,960 their content on YouTube, which of we'll get into that, but that 446 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,480 off the bat doesn't make much sense. 447 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,760 And then also the the second thing that the that they put in 448 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,240 in the digital document is that content creators are go are 449 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,800 probably going to have to start sending in their content before 450 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,680 it's posted for examination. And basically screening actually 451 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:00,880 have fancy we have seen screening. 452 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,800 Actually have a, I actually have a copy of the document. 453 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,720 Yeah. But this one was sent to Mamito 454 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,040 Eunice, who is a famous comedian. 455 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,400 She also got like hit with the same thing. 456 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,040 And it says it's a compliance with Kenya, with the Kenya Film 457 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,520 Classification Board regulations. 458 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,320 And they're saying refer to the above matter and write to you as 459 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,800 follows. That our attention has been 460 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,840 drawn to your YouTube channel Mamito Unis, where you have 461 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,520 continuously uploaded audio visual content for purposes of 462 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,360 exhibiting and distributing it to the public without acquiring 463 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,160 the requisite filming licenses from the KFCB. 464 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,400 That Section 15 of the Films and Stage Plays Act mandates that 465 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,640 the Kenyan Film Classification Board to regulate the creation, 466 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,320 broadcasting, possession, distribution and exhibition of 467 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,880 film and broadcast content in the the country. 468 00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:58,440 That further section four of the ACT requires all film makers 469 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,960 producing film within Kenya, film okay anyway within Kenya 470 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:09,040 for public exhibition or sale locally or internationally to 471 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,680 obtain a filming license. Additionally, Section 12 472 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,680 requires that all classes of film being distributed, 473 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:22,640 exhibited or broadcasted within Kenya must be examined by KFCB 474 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,400 and a certificate of approval issued. 475 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,040 Before I'm I'm about to finish.

Consequently, we demand that you 477 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,600 strictly comply with the requirements of the Film and 478 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,160 Stage Plays Act by obtaining filming licenses for your films 479 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:47,760 and submit them for examination and classification before the 480 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,400 same is exhibited and distributed to the public 481 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,160 through your YouTube channel.

And this effects musicians 501 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,560 because your music videos, at some point they are going to 502 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,160 have to get, you're going to have to turn them in to get 503 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,280 vetted. Like what first? 504 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,000 OK, that's, that's, like I said, that's, that's problem. 505 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,520 But problem #1 why do we need a license to put things on 506 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,120 YouTube? YouTube is not owned by. 507 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:26,160 Like it's like YouTube is a free to upload platform. 508 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,640 If I want to post cat videos on on YouTube, why do I have to 509 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,320 send them?

Yeah, you know, that's what it 515 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,560 is. It's like licenses, of course, 516 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,520 like that's what they want. They just want to make an extra 517 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:54,600 buck. They don't really they. 518 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,000 Don't have the capacity to do what they're saying they want 519 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,240 to. Do they don't even have the 520 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,880 capacity to do it anyway? They just want to be paid bro. 521 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,760 Like do you know how many people post YouTube videos every day? 522 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,680 Or how many content creators in the and then what if now they 523 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,080 see, oh wait, guys on on Instagram are making money, then 524 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,680 they move to to to to Instagram and then Tiktok. 525 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,120 That's ridiculous. How many people? 526 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,800 Yeah, this. Sets it sets a horrible 527 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,360 precedent. They might even start like being 528 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,760 like Nah, you all can't even post like Instagram stories or 529 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,800 Snapchat stories. Why is it like why is why is 530 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:27,720 China? Why is it? 531 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,760 That when people say that they want to grow something and on 532 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,440 this side of the world, like we all want to make this thing that 533 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,280 we want to work for it, we end up angering the people doing the 534 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,320 thing. Like, OK, now here's the thing. 535 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,840 This is this is the thing creators actually need to. 536 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,280 This sounds ridiculous. And unless we are completely 537 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,560 misinterpreting what's going on and maybe there's a better 538 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,320 explanation, this sounds absolutely ridiculous and 539 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,120 creators need to like band together and such. 540 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,200 This is the point where and I I was thinking about this while I 541 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,640 was watching and I was. No, we, we will band together 542 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,120 and we cannot let this is be a thing. 543 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,320 They can't. They cannot. 544 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,240 We are, we are at a point in different industries in the film 545 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,760 industry in the and let me just sidetrack a little bit, why are 546 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,720 they focusing on content creators rather than actual 547 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,440 films like this? I've talked to a lot of people 548 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,120 in the film industry and they're saying there's no funding, 549 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,960 there's no support from the government, There's no, we don't 550 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,600 have the proper structures, we don't have the proper 551 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,480 distribution. Why can't the government focus 552 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,360 on that and the Kenya Film and Classification Board for Kenya 553 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,440 Film Classification Board, whatever they called focus on 554 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,960 that and try and make that system robust? 555 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,720 Why they're going for small time content creators? 556 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,640 Like I feel like there's bigger fish to fry. 557 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,920 There's bigger things. Like like pay attention to first 558 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,520 of all, even like the structures in place are not even that great 559 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,360 as everybody knows, man, the the CPMS, that's super low in our 560 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,000 side of the world. Compared to other countries. 561 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,880 Super low. So it's not like it's not like 562 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,720 even you have like if, if people are now to start paying licenses 563 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,240 to upload videos, they're going to have to be going out of 564 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,480 pocket. They won't even be going out of 565 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,840 like the. And you know that money, you 566 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,040 know that amount is going to be a high amount instead. 567 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,720 Right. And so it's just annoying, bro. 568 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,760 It's just like, bro, come on, can we just live here and like 569 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,080 figure out also how to make livings for ourselves? 570 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,480 Yeah. And this stifles creativity. 571 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,680 You know, I it's not going to happen. 572 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,920 I've refused. I'm there's no reality. 573 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,880 I'm living like you have to pay license craziness, upload. 574 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,200 It's craziness. And it's going to go, bro, it's 575 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,000 even going to like you said, it's the cup. 576 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,920 Like even us like, bro, like they're going to be like, yeah, 577 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,720 you all need to like what? Yeah. 578 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,000 What are you talking creatives? Do need to like I was saying, 579 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,320 creatives definitely need like we, I feel like we're getting to 580 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,760 a point in the film industry like things are just bubbling. 581 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,440 If you hear the different conversations going about, like, 582 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:50,640 I think people are getting fed up. 583 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,920 We're getting, we're getting tired of the same things being 584 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,600 told to us and the system's not working. 585 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,400 So I do feel like people like creatives now, like we, bro, 586 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,760 listen, if you're creative out there, like it's time to if we 587 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:10,040 don't start the fight to ensure that we have a working, creating 588 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,880 a creative economy, if we keep covering behind a lot of these 589 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,800 things and don't like speak up about someone. 590 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,320 And when I say speak up, it's not just like talk about it. 591 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:24,160 It's like fight it till the end. It's it's whether the mentality 592 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,920 of we are going to work to get this thing sorted out, whether 593 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,360 the end result works in our favor or not. 594 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,360 We're going to work as hard as we can to make it work enough. 595 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,720 And we all have to hold hands and do this together because 596 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,800 individuals doing this is just not strong enough to get it 597 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,320 done, you know, And I hate to sound activisty. 598 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,960 In fact, maybe I, I love to sound activisty in this 599 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,520 situation because it's ridiculous. 600 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,560 I mean, these are the things that we, we, we are going to 601 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,160 keep seeing. And if we don't stand up against 602 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,360 it, even in the music industry with the whole MCSK thing that 603 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,800 we've seen year after year after year after year after year. 604 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,520 And it's just complaining and binding together in our small 605 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,240 groups and saying, oh, this guy's and maybe even starting 606 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,920 something small but not really doing much about it. 607 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,480 Like this might be the time to actually start binding together 608 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:15,160 as creatives and taking our economy to where we want it to 609 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,320 be. Rather than dictating, let it be 610 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,760 dictated to us, you know, kind of deal. 611 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,320 I don't know whether I'm being a little bit too, too much with 612 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:23,680 it, but it's just, it's really annoying. 613 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,840 Like it means. Yeah, if you're being adequately 614 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,760 you're in fact, I would, I would you you should even be more 615 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:31,840 outraged. Man, we. 616 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,400 Should all be outraged. This is crazy, is outraged this. 617 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,280 Is crazy. Imagine imagine having to to 618 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,840 submit a license to do your get ready with me videos. 619 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,080 Imagine that. Imagine that. 620 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,400 Tell me who is here? What? 621 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,560 That's ridiculous. God, like, like, like, like I'm. 622 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,120 I'm showing you guys how I made the beat to like. 623 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,560 Yeah, but you have to submit allies. 624 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,080 You have to give that to someone to vet to see whether you're 625 00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,880 another thing that Moff brought up, brought up when he was 626 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,440 talking about it, right. See, he said that this might be 627 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,640 another way for the government to just censor information 628 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,160 because and he's reasoning for that. 629 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,480 And you can, you can, you can check, go go to the Ikonini page 630 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,560 on YouTube, right? So he said that there's a lot of 631 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:23,600 people online who are giving, like, very, very raw, unfiltered 632 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,679 opinions on political matters, right? 633 00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:32,080 It's a political thing. And so the government saying, 634 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,639 OK, send me your videos so that we can know whether that's 635 00:34:35,639 --> 00:34:38,159 that's that obviously just seems like there's like, all right, 636 00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:40,800 because then now it. Just takes it takes away your 637 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,600 freedom of speech because somebody's determining whether 638 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,120 or not you are allowed to say what you're saying, you know? 639 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,120 Yeah. And and we've sort of seen this 640 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,840 happen with also Ezekiel Muto and some of the messes that he's 641 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,880 gotten himself into in terms of freedom of speech. 642 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,120 So that could be another angle that that we are looking at in 643 00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,360 terms of like, are they trying to censor the information that 644 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,040 we're putting out? What about the laws? 645 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,640 That we need to, we need to band together, man. 646 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:09,600 It's kind of crazy, man. So hey, yo, from this way, we 647 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,480 just be tired, man. This is why people just leave 648 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,840 the country and go elsewhere because it just, it feels like 649 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:18,040 just feels like the government is against the people anyway. 650 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,600 Like I don't want to get too much into it because I'm 651 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,960 starting to feel like I feel like they're watching. 652 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,160 It's annoying. It's annoying. 653 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:28,560 I got you. OK, in more in more music 654 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,080 industry news, I guess this is the last thing I kind of have 655 00:35:31,240 --> 00:35:34,080 news, man. It was a bit of a slow Newsweek, 656 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:39,160 I'm not going to lie. There was there's some bubbling 657 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,880 beef we talked about, stupid boy. 658 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,320 That name? Before when he had, I know it 659 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,480 sounds like I'm insulting him, but like, yeah, we talked about 660 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:57,120 stupid boy like when with his beef with Doctor Fenneke and not 661 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,280 being paid for the interview. Well, I'm going to assume he got 662 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:05,680 paid for this interview he had with Mongai Eve where I guess 663 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,840 the most salacious thing that comes out of this not salacious, 664 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:15,120 sorry, the most. What's the word not click 665 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,800 Beatty, But like this is what the the blogs were going with. 666 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,520 Yeah, the blogs were going with him going Yeah, they were going 667 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:27,000 off with on him. They were going off with his con 668 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,560 comments on Willie Paul, essentially saying that Willie 669 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:37,160 Paul has a huge ego and he hates him with all his heart and the 670 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,200 soul. And you could really feel the 671 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,480 hate in which he was saying. So I think what happened was, 672 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,880 yeah, yeah. I think what happened was he was 673 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,000 with Willie Paul. He's been in and around those 674 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,200 circles. And I think he had asked for 675 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,440 like, a collab or something of the sort. 676 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,160 And it's curved. Yeah, it looks like. 677 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,960 Yeah, it looks like Willie Paul was dubbing him. 678 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,680 He says Willie Paul even threatened him at some point. 679 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,960 Like, well, now I'm just going to say it's alleged. 680 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:08,880 I'm just going to say. It's alleged. 681 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:09,840 Alleged. Yeah, let. 682 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,640 Me not put, yeah, let me not put myself in this beef now. 683 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,720 But like, yeah, essentially he's just very, very outspoken 684 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,760 against Willie Paul. And then he just it descends 685 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:27,880 into him kind of just like just kind of insulting Willie Paul a 686 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:33,320 little bit with some very, very funny one liners here, which I'm 687 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:34,040 not going to. That's that's. 688 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,800 Not this part, but let's leave that for the other. 689 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,960 Part like yeah, I so I don't know how I feel about it. 690 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:46,000 Maybe I feel like stupid boy is very like outspoken and he wears 691 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:51,160 his heart on his sleeve. I think one thing I've one thing 692 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:58,840 I felt about Will stupid boy is maybe well, I actually I 693 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,120 appreciate that the fact that he wears his hat on his sleeve. 694 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,000 He's raw, he's unfiltered, and sometimes the industry needs 695 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:11,800 that a lot. So hey, listen, this is a 696 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,840 developing story which I have beg attention to because you 697 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,080 know, Willie Paul obviously see he's established in the 698 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,040 industry. He knows a lot of people. 699 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,440 He's I know. I just know how people lie. 700 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,400 It's probably going to try and make it tough for stupid boy to 701 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,840 exist, but. Like, Oh no, man, I I feel like 702 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,240 I feel like on stupid boy's part, it if it comes to me, it 703 00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:35,160 comes off like a a little bit cloudy. 704 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,280 See, it comes off a bit capitalizing, capitalizing on 705 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,520 the previous attention he got. Well, it's basically for the 706 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:48,040 same thing, more or less, right? But I don't know, it feels and I 707 00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:50,560 hey, I don't have. AI don't, I mean, I don't feel 708 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,840 an element of cloud chasing us. Imagine. 709 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,480 I feel like that's just him. You think that's, that's his, 710 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,400 his personality. I'm not mad at it because I know 711 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,520 artists, artists these days have to do a lot like just because of 712 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,520 our attention spans and, and just the way we pay attention to 713 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,400 content is different from how we did back then. 714 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,440 So artists these days have to do a lot to gain the spotlight on 715 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,480 them. So I'm not necessarily mad at 716 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:16,360 him using this opportunity. It's just if you're using it in 717 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,640 a way that you're bringing down and not to be all peace and love 718 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,280 and Jay Coley about it, but if you're using it as a way to 719 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,160 bring down your fellow artists. Jay Coley Jay Coley about it if. 720 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:31,080 You're using it in the channel in a spirit of, of, of J. 721 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,920 Cole. If you're using it to bring down 722 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,200 like artists for no reason at all, like if you have a reason, 723 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,360 cool. And which he seems to do. 724 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,480 But a lot of people seem seem to have no reason to bring down 725 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:43,880 other people. They're just doing it because 726 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,240 they know people are a lot smarter than they make them all 727 00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:47,440 to be. They're doing for clicks. 728 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,240 And that's why I'm like, all right, like. 729 00:39:49,240 --> 00:39:52,000 No, no, no, I I'm not saying he's not smart. 730 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,360 I'm just saying for me, it feels like you could be absolutely 731 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,240 right. Like he might know that this is 732 00:39:57,240 --> 00:40:00,120 something that's going to get him talked about for a while on 733 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,360 the blogs. But I'm just saying, like I feel 734 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,160 like he's just very outspoken and wears his heart on his 735 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,920 sleeve, but.

They were interviewing an artist 793 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,600 and and they were playing that song before and I was like, I 794 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,120 thought this guy's only played Kenyan music. 795 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,880 Why are they playing this song?

Let's see, Shad Mizuki released 808 00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:56,880 a song called Rihanna. I feel like at some point every 809 00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,240 every male artist has to have a song. 810 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,640 Bro, do you do you remember the the Nigerian movie Beyoncé's 811 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,280 versus Rihanna?

I think the songwriting was 829 00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,920 really good and also his vocal performance was super dope on 830 00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:01,440 that. I definitely enjoyed that. 831 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:04,120 Did you do? Let's see, what else did I 832 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,800 listen to? What else did I listen to? 833 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,840 Preeta also dropped the song called Baddest Ever. 834 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,080 Some rapping on there if you need. 835 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,440 If you want to listen to that Femi one. 836 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,840 And how do you pronounce that Dufla? 837 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:25,240 Dufla dropped the joint as fire. Always like to see Femi one and 838 00:45:25,240 --> 00:45:28,720 on on releasing always fired sister. 839 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,480 What am I talking about? It's always dope for me one 840 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,840 release music. She's she's just good balance by 841 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,200 just man and critical. This is an interesting song. 842 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,560 I think this song was burst out of I remember the last I think. 843 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:44,160 Critical with a queue, yeah. Critical, remember last year 844 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,200 when I, we did the whole Colombia, Kenya thing? 845 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,640 I think I talked about it on the podcast Colombia. 846 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,400 Yeah. So Jasmine is just Jasmine is 847 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,040 from Colombia. And so I think critical has been 848 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,920 working with him and they finally released some, some 849 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,320 music. It's called balance. 850 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,280 It's really cool, man. It's cool to see that the, the, 851 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,480 the link up between Colombia and and Africa. 852 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,600 We we and sorry, in Kenya, we we always say that we want to see 853 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,760 more collaborations with other regions of music and other 854 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,480 styles of music. And so this is This is why I 855 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,080 feel like in this one critical more brought just man. 856 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,880 Actually, no, because just man is is he's he's primarily Afro 857 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,160 inclined. So anyway, it's a good song. 858 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,760 It's a good check that out. Shout out to critical that's 859 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,120 we've worked with him before. So he's he's super dope. 860 00:46:28,720 --> 00:46:29,680 Let me see. What else, man. 861 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,520 Afram.

Bro is breaking his NDA's, but 914 00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,920 breaking NDA's is what's fun. Actually, I don't know. 915 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:06,560 It's fun for the culture to break. 916 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,840 NDA's actually. You don't have to say you don't 917 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,840 get yourself into trouble. Actually I I haven't seen 918 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,320 Valerie talking about it, so I don't know if I'm going. 919 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:20,200 To keep that one in the talk. So anyway, so the session was 920 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:25,280 kind of split into two because the first time we recorded, she 921 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:29,800 had already recorded it and then she had recorded her verse and 922 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,840 she wanted Bien on the track. So she invites me to her place. 923 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,840 I had to Bien's place. I was very nervous. 924 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,160 I went to Bien's place, really nice house. 925 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:44,720 Then we just recorded. It was a bit on the fly type of 926 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,320 thing, you know. So it wasn't like, yeah, because 927 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,360 it was in the house, it wasn't in a studio. 928 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,960 And then a few weeks later, Valerie hit me up. 929 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,600 She's like, yeah, I want to re record like my portion of the 930 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,680 song, at which point we re recorded, but now just her and I 931 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,640 So yeah. So that's cool. 932 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:08,280 So shout out to them. Mixed by Hook. 933 00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,840 Mixed by Hook. I want to say Hook did justice 934 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,040 to those vocals. He really makes it. 935 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,640 Well.

Yeah, if, if, if you're bold 991 00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:27,480 enough to put your name on the project. 992 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,760 I feel like every artist has to release a no. 993 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,800 Not every artist has to do I don't want to. 994 00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:35,040 I don't see a drink. If you're a. 995 00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:43,440 Serious artist. I want to see the album that. 996 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:48,000 OK, it usually doesn't work for rappers, but like when when 997 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,880 you're like in the old like Paramore released on the album, 998 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:53,720 like if you're a band. Yeah, it's cool. 999 00:53:53,720 --> 00:53:55,440 No, it does. It's kind of, it's kind of 1000 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:56,720 swaggy. It's just there's some people 1001 00:53:56,720 --> 00:53:58,800 who I don't. Know like if you're a singer 1002 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:03,040 like if if if like Beyoncé released what hasn't Beyoncé 1003 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:04,680 released subtitles. Subtitles. 1004 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:08,440 So yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like it works when you're like 1005 00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,120 rappers, it doesn't work, but like other. 1006 00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,400 I don't think it's not just rappers, it's also your name. 1007 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:14,920 Like you can't have just a wild name. 1008 00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:17,360 Imagine a family phone at the album. 1009 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,440 So you're saying, oh wow, I'm. Taking shots at you. 1010 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:25,080 Listen, I get micro aggressions here all the time. 1011 00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,880 This is an example of one. This is an. 1012 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:29,400 Example. It's a joke. 1013 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,040 Aggression against me. Good. 1014 00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,800 Oh yeah, that's what they say. That's what all the toxic people 1015 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,320 say. It's a joke. 1016 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,160 And meanwhile, they've just stepped on your ego. 1017 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:41,320 They have stepped and broken your heart into 3 million 1018 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:46,000 pieces. Anyway, So Billy Black, I want 1019 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:47,800 to give a big shout out to Billy Black. 1020 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:52,080 Man, he really delivered. I really, really did enjoy 1021 00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,640 listening to this album. The things I loved about this 1022 00:54:55,640 --> 00:55:00,480 album, the songwriting, I think his songwriting is very, very 1023 00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:02,000 deep. It's one of his strengths, 1024 00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:05,400 Meaningful. It is like there were times he 1025 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,360 was saying things and I was like, hmm, what does that? 1026 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,360 What does he mean by that? And I was like, like, it made me 1027 00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,640 think about like, yeah, it made me think about certain things 1028 00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:20,120 that he was saying. And then his voice, his voice is 1029 00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:24,200 phenomenal. I, I like the raspiness in some 1030 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,280 of these tracks. I, I can't remember. 1031 00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:30,040 I think it was Hold Me where his voice was super raspy. 1032 00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,960 And I was like, bro, I I dig it. I dig this so. 1033 00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:40,160 And then I love the simplicity with which he approached the 1034 00:55:40,720 --> 00:55:43,200 production for me. I liked it, You know I. 1035 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,640 Love it for sure. Very simple, I love. 1036 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:50,000 The guitar, yeah, I loved it. I loved it. 1037 00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,160 I think this is a solid, solid project. 1038 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,840 I think my favorite song is not. I think I'm pretty sure my 1039 00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:00,040 favorite song is the collab he has with Costa. 1040 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:04,240 I see the light that. Was and that was a good and then 1041 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,200 the not the. Harmony, the melody, this is my 1042 00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,680 last day. The melodies they were doing at 1043 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:13,400 the end, Oh my God, I was like, this is some really, really 1044 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,240 good. Music Oh yeah that was a really 1045 00:56:15,240 --> 00:56:18,360 good it was a good collaboration with with I see the light. 1046 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,640 It's definitely my my one of my favorite songs to come out this 1047 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:23,200 week. I enjoyed the project. 1048 00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,280 I I just shortly before we we pick a song I enjoy. 1049 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:28,880 I've been listening to Billy black since I think the 1050 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:30,040 pandemic. I think it was strange 20. 1051 00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:35,160 A friend of mine put me on to his music and I fell in love 1052 00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,920 with like there's a song he did called a March on and I all the 1053 00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,200 streams that he's gotten from that song probably from me. 1054 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,640 Like I really enjoy that. So I really enjoy his music and 1055 00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,320 a couple of songs on his first project. 1056 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:50,160 Let me just I don't want to get it wrong because it's not not 1057 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,080 just like I really do think it's dope music. 1058 00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,360 It's called my from my heart to yours. 1059 00:56:55,240 --> 00:56:57,520 It's A5 song project. It's really good. 1060 00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,720 But yeah, he also delivered and this is the same kind of feel. 1061 00:57:00,720 --> 00:57:05,240 He does more acoustic themed music and like we were talking, 1062 00:57:05,240 --> 00:57:07,200 I I feel like his music has a lot. 1063 00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:11,160 His music feels like it will be really good for like film and 1064 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,560 like Netflix and all all that stuff, like yo. 1065 00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,760 I got that feeling as well. I got that feeling as well. 1066 00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:20,400 It's very, it's very cinematic in, in the way he presents it. 1067 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,880 So man, shout out to him. Shout out to him. 1068 00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,000 My favorites, my favorites where I see the light. 1069 00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,600 I really enjoyed that. I liked Champion. 1070 00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,480 It's a song I think we've had a lot, but it's interesting to see 1071 00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,880 how he's done it. And also seen as Anthem, which 1072 00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:35,720 has like more of like a gospel theme. 1073 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,400 Speaking of gospel themes, there's been gospel themes with 1074 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,000 artists recently, but we'll we won't get into that. 1075 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,800 Yeah, we will get into that.
