FELLA INTERVIEW SATURDAY 8 PM ON MICWORMS FB FAN PAGE
Kindly break it down to
me :)
Blackfella
TheBigfella Well, to me i can say HipHop music is what i grew
up listening to. From the message the hiphop artists raised, i was
inspired. Ballancing both the problems we face and also the good times in
life, i learned the skillz in the process.
Blackfella
TheBigfella Since HipHop is a lifestyle i can say nilianza
kitambo...lol, i began writting back in High skul but proffessionaly,
i began
recording in 2009. I waslistening to kalamashaka,
Biggy smallz, jayz and many more american rappers.

Blackfella
TheBigfella I recorded my 1st jam with my childhood friend
BaB-Sule at Ufuoni records and the jam tittle was 'kazi tunafanya',
the reception in coast was crazy. The jam was No.1 at KayaFm for

now...
Blackfella
TheBigfella Got featured in The "Ufuoni family mixtape"
which had Abbas, Ukoo Flani, G.O.B, mwaka utanje, Hustla-j just to
mention a few. Worked with a female rapper MIA(uk), Juliani ,Prudence(TPF) ,
kevlexicon(USA), any many coast artists.
I Know and many othe
unreleased (in upcoming album).
How do u manage to get
the music to the capital for airplay considerin
ua from Mombasa?
Blackfella
TheBigfella Mombasa is my Home but i am currently staying in Nairobi. I
do alot of Social networking, mostly online marketing. I also
travel alot so i get to meet so many people and i marketmy self in the process.
I also belive in talking to everyone for opinion without judging.
w@differences n
simmilarities av u noted in the Hiphop industry
between the two
Blackfella
TheBigfella I belive as an artist you need different environments to be
at a certain state of mind and to get different outcomes. Mombasa
has alot of tallent and so does Nairobi. What makes it defer is the
Day to day life, shengs slangs, culture and beliefs. Advantage wise,
nairobi is top. This is because Nai is the capital of everything so you
are guränteed to meet everyone and
everything is available
Nimoh Futuristic Nyc...so tell me
abt ua video ..the concept behind it n w@ u workin on @ the moment?
Blackfella TheBigfella "ONCE TOLD" video was directed by
Brian kyallo and the (i am the future) crew. It was shot in the Ganjoni
area of mombasa, this was so as to catch the coastal feeling and its
achitecture. The video shoot was graced by coast Astists Fikra
teule, Hustla jay , Producer N.J.E, masella and some beautiful
babes......lol http://www.youtube.com/fellayo www.youtube.com
Share your videos with
friends, family, and the world
Blackfella
TheBigfella The initial plan was to do it on top of bima tower so as to
catch the whole of mombasa but its was so windy up their and no
bariers. 16 floors was too high for every one, so we opted for Ufuoni
records roof top and some shots in a Tuk Tuk.
Blackfella
TheBigfella Working on my 1st album, also done new collaborations with
new artists eg. Enkori, Nafsi Huru...., got featured in a soon to
come mixtape by PointBlank, Checkmate, Man Njoroo, Bab-sule
and Nafsi
Huru produced by Mojay of Audio
Kusini Working on the next video for the single "I Know"
and looking foward to working with more artists from different
genres and orígin.
make corporate world
embrace it?
Blackfella
TheBigfella Be more business minded and goal driven, investwisely to
get good hold of the right market, Stop sidelining çourselves
and feel as if we are not wanted or supposed
to be doing what we do best. Sale our products in more professional
way and support each other. Nothing
is imposible, HipHop is gaining its respect back when it
comes to corporate industry.
Nimoh Futuristic Coool,wuld u say
music run in the fam coz ua sista is a Femcee too:)w@ do u do other
than music?
Blackfella
TheBigfella Anything can be sold for the right price. Its time we
exausted the other side of business in Art.
Blackfella
TheBigfella Well, u can say so. She is a good upcoming female rapper and
she is getting better. Other than music, i am a young
entreprenuar/ businessman. Deal with Scrap metal and PA sound. Also a
student of business and IT
I appreciate you time and Jah Bless.
