we met with Troy at a rap battle and Troy gave me his no. I had the song written and decided to do a collabo.

Tell us about the song ‘keep it real’ that you did with Troy

It’s literally about how music these days has changed and how they affect people. I can’t say much, my music speaks for itself.

Are you related to khaligraph or you just inspired by him

(laughs) not at all. His music is good that’s why I like it.

If you were to collabo with a Kenyan female rapper whom would it be?

Definitely Bey T. Would be the happiest. Male, khaligraph and Timmy blanco.

You so young do you face any criticism?

Yes, alot almost everyone I must say and that’s what keeps me moving. I will prove them wrong eventually.
