Kimya is a Kenyan rapper and Bamboo’s little brother. Today through
his Twitter account, he has decided to speak his heart out about how he
felt loved when he was staying in Tanzania compared to how his fellow
Kenyans treat him and his music.
HE TWEETED
I learned Swahili in Tanzania and half of who I am is Tanzanian.
Learned the art of patience there and found love amongst strangers. A
prophet is rarely accepted where they come from. Eg, Jesus, John the
Baptist. You gotta take your art to everyone.
That being said. it’s been so real, but a brotha gotta chase what’s
good in Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda & Burundi, Malawi & South Africa. I love
Tanzania but People get it twisted; Tanzania is light years ahead of Kenya in
so much. The first being humanity.
Second, no one supports their own as much as Tanzanians in East
Africa. Uganda tries too, Kenya doesn’t even really try. Third, they
appreciate music a lot more. We out here dealing with Africans who are
too elite for local/ international music.
I’ve been in the grind in Kenya for 11 years and faced hell on earth
in my hometown, in TZ I never slept hungry once amongst strangers. I was
in Tz doing my things and was alerted of the fact that Kenya knows who I
am and about my music through my brothers Kikosi cha Mizinga.
Pina, Dogo mwendawazim, Chisondi, Beckham, Askari wa kiturkey, Rachie,
Suma lago, Jaymoe mchopanga, Tina Makalle, my TZ brothers for life.
I’ve collaborated with more than 100 artists. I have over 200 songs
including recorded freestyles. Majority mixtape material + 1 album.
I’m already an IT Expert with over 15 years experience in
networking, web development, graphic design, video editing, basic
java-script. Programming, c++ programming, a couple other scripts, ima
certified sound engineer, im a producer, im a rapper, ima a musician,
Ima professional mixed martial arts fighter, I’m a pastor without a
church, (associate degree in theology), I know thing or 2 about farming.
I do event & stage management; I have opened procured equipment
for and wired more than 10 studios in East Africa. I wanna study
aviation in the next few years. Might study psychology too later so i
can understand you and what makes you tick.
