And today I'm having an amazing person like this. You know, just look at this
picture, the picture of Pesa Tajiri. Tajiri Mwenyewe.
(00:54):
One of the biggest producers in, hey, I'm not going to rank him,
I can say in the whole world.
But to me, he's one of the biggest producers in the whole world.
I respect him. I appreciate him. He's talented.
He got talented. Is it fingers?
He's an amazing person. He has done a lot of hit songs.
(01:20):
He's a boy from the village. But he came to the city.

Thank you so much for having me. I'm so happy to have you here today.

You're good. That's God's word. Inshallah.
How's the weather? The weather in Nairobi is... It's winter.
January? I'm telling you, it's crazy. I've never seen January in Nairobi.
This must be the best year so far. Blessings. Blessings. in abundance.
(02:28):
Absolutely. Tell me, I know I call you Vince on the beach, I know I call you
my guy, but what happens when someone calls you daddy and you don't know?
Maybe someone is calling you daddy.
I have someone who calls me daddy, I have someone who calls me daddy,
I have those people who call me daddy.
Daddy. Oh yeah, sorry. Sorry, sorry.
(02:54):
Maybe tell us about you. Who is Vince on the beat?
My official name is Vincent or the word or Monty.
I am a man from Nyanza, Rongo to be precise.
So, from the village, of course, right? So, you're trying to say that we're
(03:15):
Rongo, but we're not from the village? Okay, we're not Rongo.
Oh, you're trying to say, you're trying to say. But, yo, Rongo is the village.
LaVince on the beat, new album, a boy from the village.
It's out there in all streaming platforms.
And, yo, it's amazing. Trust me, yo. Because I love that song, Marco.
I think I love, I love the whole, let me not be just like, I love one,
(03:36):
I love the whole thing, but. What's your favorite track?
I love that song because I love the King Kaka song too.
You blessed me. Absolutely.
They really touch. The whole project touched, but they really touched somehow.
(03:59):
What are some of the tough situations you had, but still, you almost gave up, but you didn't.
I know. I like how you put it. You almost gave up and you didn't.
Because if you gave up, you couldn't be here right now. True story.
So, my story is long, man. I don't mean to say all over.
(04:22):
So, maybe a few highlights.
I come from a family that never believed in whatever I'm doing right now.
I don't mean to say bad. I really understand that generation.
It's that generation where TikTok, production, artist, Vixen,
DJ, those are not careers.
(04:50):
Those things I mentioned, they were not careers. You would see people who had
left or things like that.
But I knew what I wanted to do. So, we were having fracas with our parents.
And sad enough, I was kicked out of the house.
Because really my dream was to do this and then they wanted me to do this.
(05:11):
So I was seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
They were not seeing the light. So those were the other challenges.
When we went ahead, I came to Kisi where life was a bit tough.
I had just left school. You look for a life as a young man, you look for rentals.
I remember my first house was for Kisii Kisi. And that Kisii Kisi.
(05:33):
Bro, Kisii Kisi. It was a lot back then.
It was really hard to get 1500 to pay the house So it was normal It was like
Other jobs that I didn't have to do I sold credit I sold safari I sold 10,
(05:58):
I have used it So now we are the ones who supply What is it?
I used to go to the liquor store and drink until late at night.
My kids in Kisii, you know, they're tuned. There's a place called Gesonso.
It's very far. It's like from here to where my studio is further.
So I used to walk all the way. You know, you know, liquor store, you open it late.
(06:23):
So you drink until 7 o'clock. True.
At 8 o'clock, I'm still with my husband. He's drunk, but I'm still eating.
I'm like, God. You have to open the next one.
So I open at 7 o'clock. I would walk around the city, and if you know,
it's like a forest-forest walk to home.
So you know, it's a risky life. But at the expense of 3,000 BOP per month.
(06:44):
To pay rent 15,000, you can't even pay rent. So it's a challenge like that.
But I think it's kind of normal because if you hear a lot of people in the industry,
mostly I think our African parents believe that you can make it through industry.
But at some point we understand. We try to understand because there's something
(07:07):
that it needs consistency.
You can't just wake up today unless it's your time. You can't just wake up and
already you're making money, you're known, you know.
And I know back then, whatever you're doing right now, I see you're looking
great. You have something in the pocket from whatever you're doing.
Things like this, it's not just KBC.
(07:28):
YouTube is new, bro. You're monitoring as you're getting something out of it.
You tell your mom or your parents that you're hosting 888 Culture.
Now it doesn't make sense, but back in the day.
I know. God damn. It was crazy. It was crazy, man. How did you manage to,
I know you worked so hard to convince your parents that this thing is doing great and all that.
(07:51):
Was it so difficult for them now to believe in you until this point?
These guys never believed in me until the day I popped. I popped.
We talked for a long time.
Ah, I see. We talked for a long time. There were times when God did something to him.
He popped at home. And then they asked, like, That's when at least we'll go,
(08:43):
oh, kumbe, we're going to find a new man. Let's do something. Wow.
That's great. Yeah. Let's talk about Vins on the Beat now.
The Vins on the Beat, I won't brand you as Vins on the Beat.
Because people say they know you through Kali Craft, but me,
I've known you when you were Vins on the Beat, Vins on the Beat back in Kisii.
So let's talk about Vins on the Beat. How was your journey with Kali Craft, Kwa Meet Kali? Yeah.
(09:08):
And your branding, you know. Big shout out to every fan that knows me from Calligraph.
And big shout out to Kali Mwanyé.
Because he plays a big role.
I can't say without him, I wouldn't be here.
But still, without him, I wouldn't be here. Because he found me.
What he did, he actually sped up the process.
(09:29):
So lovely. Even here, I was supposed to be here.
Even in Mbani Zaidi. But slowly, you find people like Carly King, who want to speed up.
They have Mito here. It's a culture, you do a lot of things and they know you'll get it.
So Carly, we go way back. I was in Kisii, in 2006.
(09:51):
I was an online producer. Which year was that? I can't actually remember,
but it was a couple of years back.
You can go to YouTube and see. I was doing online beats and vlogging.
Guys, this is how you make a beat. Things like that.
So I think, you know, people are looking for content like beats online.
He bumped my beat. He saw my number there.
(10:14):
He called me. He actually called. I had his number before.
But you know, you're a celebrity. You have a celebrity number. How can you call him?
But I'm afraid to call him. You don't know. You call him and he picks up.
You don't know. I love that rejection.
So I had all these numbers. But I couldn't call.
(10:39):
So when he called, it came to my phone, Calligraph Jones.
It wasn't a strange call. It came to Calligraph Jones.
Worse enough, it wasn't like a call. It was like a video call.
So you see my WhatsApp, it was like, Calligraph, I'm like, God damn.
And this house, there's no background.
I went to the wall because I didn't know how to do it. I was like,
(11:02):
I have to go to that place where there is a dirisha.
At least I don't get caught. I'm like a man. You are so good at explaining.
So then we talked. She told me, you are doing a good job.
Blah, blah, blah, blah. We talked in a polite way. She told me,
I'm in Kisi. She told me, you are so talented. I want you to make me a beat.
(11:25):
And because I'm in Kali and I'm in Kisi, Me, I was a fan before I became the
producer. Wow. I remember I played the beat of Old School.
Bro, I took like five minutes, five minutes to skim that whole beat.
By 30 minutes, I was like, bro, you did that in 30 minutes? That's normal.
(11:46):
Guys, the song is called Rwanda Magere.
And it over-hit. I know. You get it.
But did you expect it was going that far in exemption of Kali being Kali Craft?
Like, did you expect like... Baby, I didn't know anything. I just see you expecting.
I sent the beat and it went missing. I talked to her again.
One month, I talked to her again. So I was like, ah, these are the things that I promise is empty.
(12:10):
I don't know if it came out when I didn't know. I'm just saying.
You didn't use a project that you used on the beat? No, no.
I saw the project on YouTube like two days later. It had your tag? It had a tag.
That's where the big shout out to Vince on the beat came out.
So I was saying, Kisii, Nyanjwa, they're checking me. They're like,
Vince Manzi, when did you produce Ghali?
(12:32):
I'm like, ah, I don't know. What are they doing? I didn't even see him.
I didn't even go online. Bro, what are you doing?
I didn't see him. When I got in, I found Mimi.
How did you feel?
I know. Tell me how you felt. Tell me. Bro, I didn't have the actual word.
Yeah. But I was overwhelmed.
I didn't even know what to do.
(12:54):
I didn't know because I was like, I was like one million thousands steps ahead of you. Seeing expect.
I was just a guy in Kisii doing beats.
I didn't know like, I can do a job. Sure.
So life changed like a flip of a coin since that day. Until now, we thank God. Wow.
(13:16):
How's been, how's your journey been working with Calligraph?
It's not one project, not five.
You have done a couple of projects, like a lot of projects with OG.
How's your journey been with him? So after we did that Londa Magere project,
it's on YouTube, it's getting views, 500,000.
I don't know how those are going to be. In terms of money, I didn't know anything.
(13:41):
And I didn't expect, I didn't want him to pay me anything. anything.
I was so excited to do that job.
I was so excited to do that job.
But then I sat down and I thought, so after this, what next?
Because right now what I have in Kisii is what is called fame.
(14:01):
But the bad part is that it's negative. And that's where depression comes. Depression, bad.
Deadly. So I was there in Kisii, hype, Kiasi kiasi, kinakatapila I saw him here. He was here.
Kinakatapila, tunarap, tunarap tunafanya machallenge. Zile ma yesbana zimetoka,
nisha fanya remix hapo yivu.
(14:23):
Masijui, leave me alone nisha to a bit. So, nafanafanya vitu,
lakin nisijui what next.
Nika sema manze, sometimes you go get it. Nisikuna mtu takuletea yu.
Nika sema what I want to do, I want to risk.
I remember yu times kuwa na do, nakumbuka I had like maybe 25 or 3K.
I said I'm going to Nairobi. And it was 2020.
(14:47):
How old were I? Roughly around 2020. Guys, I know you might think that I'm born
in Nairobi, that I'm here. Me, I came here yesterday.
When I knew first I joined in Kisiki?
I said, oh, you're a young man. Kisii, you're a young man. Normal.
You're not bad, you're not bad at all. You're not bad at all.
(15:10):
Normal, normal, normal. That's amazing.
So I said, I'm coming to Nairobi. Sure. I'm coming to get the dream that I have in my head.
I have it in my head, I'm sleeping.
But I want to actualize it now. So I came with my 3K.
Let me tell you. Did you know anyone in Nairobi then? I didn't know anyone.
(15:32):
Wow. Yo, I don't even have a relative in Nairobi.
Was it the first time? Yeah. It was my first time. No.
I don't know how to explain it. I don't know how to explain it.
This is exclusive on 808.
This is the fourth year now basically in Nairobi.
I'm brand new. I'm new. This is where you were in Nairobi when you were a kid.
(15:57):
Wow. Okay. So I came to Nairobi, I didn't know anyone, but I got a saviour,
a big shout out to David Guaro, who was managing Nadia at the moment.
Nadia was a hit at the time. So I had her number.
Remember I told you I was doing online beats? So I used to remake beats of artists.
(16:18):
There are upcoming covers.
So there's a time, Hellmind, the studio of Nadia, they were doing most of the
covers. So I know I make beats immediately.
I don't know if there's a producer who is talented in your design.
Like the beat comes out of nowhere.
Five minutes later, you have a beat. So I was quick. So I think he got my number.
(16:45):
So when I came tonight,
Because I didn't know him, I said, this is not the number of David Goro.
I don't want to misuse it.
I called him. I went to his studio. I was in his studio.
When I landed, let me give you another story. When I landed,
I had dripped to his size. His size was too big.
(17:08):
So when I got to the studio, we were just talking casually. Vince,
are you normal? Blah, blah, blah.
We were talking. Time was ticking. And I know very well that after this,
I don't know where I'm going. Where are you going?
No, no. We're talking. I'm like, hey, man, I'm not going to go to the normal.
It's not like that. At times, I'm like, I'm going to be there in 10,
11, 12. At one time, he started talking about that crap he was doing.
(17:32):
He was like, I've been so.
Man, thank you. Man, next time, we'll link. Roy started talking.
I'm like, where are you going? Where are you going? I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I went to a lodge.
It can be done there. It can be done there. What am I going to do?
And this is Nairobi. If you leave your village, there's a way.
(17:52):
Yeah. Nairobi, you hear, it's like you can ask people. Ask people.
There's a way. I don't know. I don't know crimes. I don't know anything.
There's nothing like that.
Then it's COVID. The curfews are starting to... People are starting to walk. Walk.
It got to a point, now I'm the one who's listening. We're going to talk.
I told David, you just told me earlier. All of these were hype.
(18:15):
Bro, I don't have a place to go. I don't have a house, I don't have anything.
I came here to look for life in Nairobi.
I don't know where to go. So how do I do it? I'm not easy.
I swear, I even told my father, I told him to lock me up here in Dhani.
Because there's no place to go. Yeah, there's no place to go.
(18:35):
It's like being out here in Embakasi, or in the gate.
And I just sit there, like Shauli.
I don't even know where I am. Every building is different.
Every place is different. I don't know if I came here or I'm here.
I don't know. I told him, bro, what do you do? Lock me in here.
(18:56):
I'm going to lock you in here for the sake of security of your equipment.
I don't know where I'm going.
I'm God because I know where he trusts me. He actually locked the door.
He locked the door? Yeah.
I was locked up like that. I remember I was sleeping on the carpet,
So I was just But that's Big shout out to him Because He gave me accommodation
(19:20):
Accommodation That helped So I slept there,
Next day he arrived He came and opened the door That's when we started The real
talk of men It was hype I said bro I don't have a place to go I'll go there
He had a producer friend Named Aubrey,
So we just started working,
First forward I started getting Two or three to rent, what, what, what.
(19:43):
So, we must fast forward to go up. Be sure to God every day.
This is the real from grass to grass.
From grass to grass, man. Be sure to God. Yeah. The story is brave but it's
not that big. I know, I know.
We appreciate where you are right now.
I see you have worked with a lot of people and funny enough, like,
(20:06):
I find it funny because it's rare to find a producer A producer at the same
time is good at singing or rapping. You're very versatile.
How do you manage to do this? First of all, it's grace.
It's grace. I said grace. It's God's gift.
Second of all, I was an artist before producer. Producer. So I used to go to
(20:29):
producers to produce for me songs.
You know in our country, I'm SDA.
Right? Right? So I was at the church playing the keyboard and singing these church songs.
But then along the way, I wanted to sound like Willie Paul and Bahati.
Don't lie, bro. We cried. In short, Willie Paul. Well, it inspired me every time. Inspired.
(20:52):
Pause. I wanted to pause. Bahanye.
And others. I wanted to sound like them. At that time, they were singing Sitolia or something.
So, I go to the producer and my thing, I give them a beat that sounds like Mbamba Mbamba.
I'm like, now, now, now, it's going to be great. I can't make I can't Yo,
(21:14):
Maze You see We're dying So At that point I said I
want to make My own beats Right That's when
I switched To production And I was like I'm going to be back Yeah You cannot
serve Two masters You cannot actually Throw two stones To one person Absolutely
I had to decide Which side I was going to take I said Let me take production
Because at least There you can get something Something You're an artist,
(21:39):
You know Yeah Yeah Man.
It's not easy. It's crazy. You cannot earn immediately. You have to invest your time.
So I went into production. Right now, I have solidified production.
They know I'm a producer. And a dope one. A deadly one.
(21:59):
So right now, what I'm doing is I'm actually adding flavor to my brand.
I'm going back to singing. I'm going back to singing. I'm going back to singing.
I'm going back to singing.
I know. I know what you do. I know what you do.
We burn them proper. You know what I mean? So these days we're trying to do
this and that. Production.
(22:21):
You haven't received any negative results about what you do because it's rare.
I started having negative results before I started. So I'm used to it.
Actually, I thought haters are haters until I knew haters are fans in denial.
They love you. They love you.
(22:43):
In public, you're a joke. You're a joke, but you have to say it.
They hear it. They hear it. They hear it.
When they sleep, they do that. But in the public, they don't.
It's normal. It takes the rain and the sun for the plants to grow, right?
So to put in love, to put hate, to end in halo.
(23:05):
Wow. That's amazing, amazing, Sana. Yeah.
Vince on the beat. I know you are the, Bila msani, bila wewe, mimi siyo msani.
Bila mimi, you are not a producer. Yeah.
I know you see a lot of things, you meet a lot of wasani, Even now,
we're in a situation like this.
The people, the people, the people, the people, the people, you hear,
(23:30):
like, so you meet different people with how they do their music.
What's your principle? Like, when I come to record, you'll find, I'm using drugs.
Without that drug, I can't record. How? Will you tell me, like,
do you have those rules before the artist comes?
(23:50):
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Where do you smoke up and down?
You can try. I don't have rules to people's lives. Oh, it's okay.
But I have rules in my premise.
Yeah. If you have to smoke to get the vibe, go and smoke outside.
Okay. Go and smoke outside, get your vibe, and come back, do whatever you're
(24:13):
doing. But I'm not advising at him when they smoke.
Smoking is actually a lose. For example, when you want to smoke weed and cigarette,
they just short term hallucination when you are high it's like when you take painkiller you take,
panadol you're not cured it just makes you feel like you're healed but when
(24:37):
it's over you go back so there are some people who say I have to use this to get stimulated,
you're just having fun there's nothing you're doing you can actually record well when you're sober,
so So I'm not advising him to use drugs, but if you have to use that is actually
your life, go and smoke outside there. That's it.
(25:01):
Another thing, you meet a lot of people who are artists, you know them a lot.
Would you think that someone will come and record you? Because I know you record everyone.
Or you look like someone has to pay you, you know. Leave alone even paying you.
Maybe someone wants to use your money.
But I'm a talent. Will you tell this person that, Mwenzwa, this is not easy,
(25:26):
or you just take their money?
Because there's a lot of producers out here, they'll take your money,
but they just, we see a lot of producers, they're trending, but you don't expect
the producer to take your money.
You know, sometimes, there's two sides of the story.
Whatever you're seeing, that person you see as mediocre, you see as a producer,
he took your money for no reason. That is actually the best they could do.
(25:49):
So it's not that he wanted to take money that's the best thing he did like him
but me personally for you to go to Instagram and type Vince,
you have to have something you can't come mediocre,
and even if you come mediocre I'll make sure you go back when you're smiling
we will take the whole day the whole week even if it's not today you'll come
(26:10):
tomorrow even by the time I tag my big shout out to Vince on the beat by the
way it's a shame that he didn't hear,
and he got it Branding way more, I know.
What do you think our industry is missing that other people are doing?
Because it has been on blogs and a lot of people are talking about this.
Like we are not, come our Sanio or Kenya or anyone in the industry,
(26:34):
we are not prioritized or what? That one, you know. Yeah.
We are trying to do, we have amazing artists up in India.
They are doing good. but they don't have that they don't have that platform,
sometimes we are told like you are not good but you feel like it's dope but
(26:55):
sometimes they don't have that platform and what do you think we are not doing that others are doing,
I think I think I've learnt a lot in the game if I could answer this differently
like the media the DJs we are doing in our country right now my mindset I said it's different, Maze.
(27:16):
Listen, I came from the village, right? Sure.
Along the journey, I have a song that is known.
Let me talk about Kali. I'm a king. Kali came from Kaiole. He was a juli-kana.
He was a juli-kana. He was a juli-kana. He was a juli-kana. He was a juli-kana.
The Kenyan flag outside the whole continent.
(27:36):
The king came from Kaliole. He was a juli-kana. He was just a basic person.
Now, King Kaka is doing movies.
These videos are in the book. Right? So right now, all I can say is that the
future of the Kenyan music industry is really bright.
We don't need welding as Femiya said.
Where we used to be, we are not today.
(27:59):
So we have artists like Nadia, I see them playing shows outside.
So, if we are not okay, we will have to work on it, we will work on it slowly,
and eventually we will reach our goal.
You cannot come from one to a hundred straight up. You will go up to ten,
(28:21):
fifty, ninety six, ninety eight, to a hundred.
What's your view on Gengetown? I think Gengetown People have been against Gengetown
As a producer What is your view on Gengetown music?
These days it's called Abanton I don't know why they call it Abanton So I don't
know I think there's Abanton and Gengetown Or is just Gengetown rebranded to be Abanton?
(28:45):
Be sure to Gengetown Because I'm a producer Go to my channel I have like 1 million
beats of Gangetown. Gangetown is my tour. What do you mean, channel?
Right? You know, when I was in Kisii, I made a lot of beats.
I even made a lot of beats with the people of Nairobi.
A few people. There's X-Ray, X-Ray King. Yeah. There's HR.
(29:08):
There's my besties, they were there, wrong guy. True.
I was in Kisii, Nyanchu, they were making beats. Bro, I heard your voice on
the mat. Yeah. I'm like, mat guy. What's a mat? Mat is this.
Mat, I know mat is mke. Mkeka. I don't know why we're talking about this.
So, our picture is Gengeton. Gengeton has brought me here a lot.
(29:29):
So, Abanton is... Abanton is a cover.
You know how people cover Gangoma?
Abanton, most of the beats are rhythm. Rhythms that don't know who they are.
Cannot mention names, but the artists nowadays... It's not bad.
If that's what we want to do, do it. but in
(29:50):
terms of if you're looking it as business
I will not advise that because any
time you're using somebody's beat they already
there's a composer there's a producer there's an instrumentalist they've already
monetized so basically you're doing your job to make your condo blow dry there's
nothing you're doing you're just singing but all the revenue and everything
(30:13):
goes to the other side so if you're wise enough do original stuff do authentic stuff,
So, big shout out to Abanton gang. Kina Godi Tenna. Nawa juu,
mi usikiza izi vitu. I know them. Yo, mi I do research. I know.
Godi Tenna, suju kina nani. Una ule, wah, wah, wah, wah. Do me, I do you.
(30:33):
Suju, nitu fanya majambos. Nitu marinate. Wah, wah, wah. Nikali. TikTok.
TikTok. TikTok. I love TikTok. Oh, yeah. Nizo.
Nikali. I think that's Abanton. Nizo ni Abanton. Ziko sawa.
But if you can at least as a producer to switch to equal and originality a little
bit we're locked man we're locked big shout out to Motif Dido and I've seen
(30:57):
he's been promoting a lot that's amazing.
Who do you look up to as a producer I know there's a lot of producers that inspire
you because Vincent the Beat is a big name but,
we're like Prezo I know Prezo is already gone so who is going to go I have a
friend called Metro Boom That guy Manze is doing exactly what I would want to do.
(31:22):
And of course here in Kenya I have a lot of projects. I have Marvel. So Fresh is deadly.
There's the one you did with BN with Scar.
Mad. There's... what else?
We have Motif. We have Magix Enga, even if it's not what it is,
(31:43):
it's still like that. We have Sean.
We have Sean. We have Musioka. Musioka, the legendary Musioka. What are the producers?
Ihaji. Ihaji. What are they called? Vicky Pondis, Alexis. Alexis,
yeah. I have a lot of producers.
If you do a good job, you still inspire me. but generally to booming your producer
(32:10):
Mbaena Taka Nikue Kamayeli nice oh ataman where do you see yourself,
for Vince 10 years is a lot where do you see yourself 5 years from now I'm actually
being the Kenyan Metro man in 5 years I'm locking that even if it's a lot but
it's okay let's put it there because of you because of you and the fans let's
(32:34):
pay that time but But, bro, God is good all the time.
I've been in the church for a long time. So, these people believe that I've
been here for four years.
Looks like I've been here for like 10 years. Right? It's four years.
That's why I was surprised.
I'm like, what? Put that five on the side. Put that five on the side.
Because one step backward three years ago. One life. You get it?
(32:57):
So in the next few years, Tuyani, very few, I'm going to be taking the Kenyan flag to the next level.
I said when I was launching EP, if you have someone who will take care of me,
but I feel like I'm going to be the very first producer.
Kenyan. To win that Afrema. I will win and I will fight with my heart. Wow.
(33:19):
How do you feel the first time, because you won an award there,
a museum there, a studio.
How did you feel the first time you got an award? I felt appreciated.
Yesterday I was in an event where I was awarding people events.
It has come to the point where I am now awarded. award.
(33:42):
So it's a blessing. I felt like I'm appreciated.
Every day in life, if you're not awarded, I'm a motivated bastard at the time I was looking for.
Anytime I'm not motivated, I won't be there.
Whatever you're doing, there's something you're getting.
Whatever you're doing, there's something you're getting. Whenever I do production, I keep doing it.
(34:05):
If I don't get enough money to pay, I won't be there. I'll be somewhere else.
So yeah, I felt appreciated. And we did a lot of work.
Let's say I know you're a woman.
I won't say it's not me, but I'm saying your opinions.
It's fresh, it's good, you're handsome. It's not me, I'm not saying it. I'm not saying it.
(34:33):
You're a woman, you're fresh. I know you're a woman. You manage your things.
I heard them say these are the things of the world so the things of the world
we deal with them here in the world you told me this is a distraction they said
we are a distraction they said that yeah what we can say I just gonna quote what King Kaka says,
(34:57):
these are the things of the world the things of the world we deal with them
here in the world here in the world no one will tell me bro Angel Gabriel will
beat me no one will beat me here so right now if we are still here What do you have? Send me a DM.
Send me a DM to link Manzai to find out about Manzai. It's the world, man.
You're ready to explore. We are still exploring. Let's get it, man. It's good vibes.
(35:21):
We're not here to fake any life. Good vibes, Anisha. Yeah. That's what's up.
I want you to give me a cappella of one of your favorite projects from your album.
But movies aren't casting, life is fantastic, circles are small and enemies
(35:43):
are distancing, friends are millions we are discussing, you are eating, you are disgusting,
success is what they have been wanting, blessings in abundance,
kiss mati, see me on the streets everyday, I am hustling, they hate on my tracks, but they are bumping.
(36:11):
Wow, that's amazing, amazing. Loibo. What are the things of the piece?
Do you mentor other producers?
Like, I'm a friend. Ah, it's a good question. How many of you have this? Yeah, I have classes.
I do classes every weekend. I just rescheduled one because I was coming to respect
Mito here for the Ethiopian culture.
(36:31):
Every weekend, every weekend, we have classes. classes.
I have a couple of producers named Mwamente, who have left.
Just to name a few, Luigi who has done Blue Tinks. He was my student.
Now he makes moves. There's another named Leo.
Track near Leo has done the latest music for Trio Mio. He has done Breeder.
(36:52):
That music for Trio and Savara. Savara is my band.
Control. The guy was my guy.
So I'm actually spreading wings little by little. dog. So if you come to classes, call me.
What's your package? Young people can see it and say it's affordable.
(37:12):
We'll pay a rate card. It's affordable. I've never said my rate card online
anywhere since I started because you know, I'm just explaining.
There are deals we've made for millions. There are zero budgets.
So the vibe it will be, you can say, I have skills and I don't have money.
We do we are here in the world but if you have money you have to pay right? sure,
(37:37):
Maybe I'm an artist Not a piece of a piece Okay, a centralizer as a artist How
would you like to go about it?
See, you're not coming to But if I see you can feature in a song,
If I see you can feature in a song If I see you can feature in a song You're
(38:01):
paying I can say Maratatu is my part,
You're coming for a feature But if I'm going to feature you, you'll pay.
But if you're going to feature me, I'll try to do it.
I do charge. You have to appreciate. Yeah. Because it's going to put you on another level.
Man, it's a big tizzy. Manze, tizzy is my second home.
(38:25):
I went there not knowing I was going to receive it.
When we did that song with Kali, Kuwame I thought it's good Ni weze kuenda Tanzania
On my budget, self-sponsored Ili ni weze ku.
Tuko na ma-prodiza wengine Ambao wa metuwa ngoma kubwa,
(38:46):
Lakini hawa tuwajui Tuwajui kabisa Lakini
ngoma zina hit I think that's not my calling Mimi na tazima munijue Mimi you
have to know me So when I did that song I went to Tanzania Hata ndo ime nipea
The other song with Rosary and other songs are coming like Kontawa and I made
a song with Mario they come and I spread two wings and I went to East Africa so,
(39:09):
Tanzania is my second home,
that's amazing yeah what about Uganda?
What's the next thing? is you're going to Uganda by the late summer?
That's it you're going to school by the late summer I went to Uganda,
To see, you know what I mean, I do what's called recognizing or pre-visit.
(39:31):
Benchmarking. I study the environment and I do two or three things.
So when I go back, now I'm doing STEM. Like Chameleon, and Vinca.
Vinca is Uganda.
Spice. We're just learning. Projects are coming. Don't worry. I got this one.
So you're going to do it. I feel like music is down.
(39:56):
I think recently I just listened to I don't think they're trying but I think
they're dope the two ladies,
Vinka and Spice but the rest Spice is too good the rest is okay two is better
than one every day, so Spice can do good,
(40:19):
Vinka but if there's no 15 people we can't see Uganda in the future.
So there's a way that the industry is also in a bad shape.
But I don't know. Maybe, you know sometimes we have bigger dreams.
Maybe I can dream about that. We can't know.
We can't know, we're hoping for the best. So when I go back to Uganda,
(40:42):
it will be difficult. You're nailing it. It will be difficult.
Okay. So, Vincent, let's talk about of like a hip hop as a one genre?
Yeah, I'm very versatile, man. I do everything. I do gospel, I do hip hop, ganga tone.
All of that. All of that. I'm everywhere. I'm talented in design.
(41:06):
That's great. That's great. Before you wind up, we are not wrapping it now. We are wrapping it now.

(46:02):
choose Krazy Kenna what's so unique what's so unique,
what's so unique that you think Krazy Kenna is doing,
that's not unique in Flaco because I think people have been saying Flaco those
things he can do is one person but at the same time reflect even 10 people at
the same time it's so unique but it's been done before by that Nigerian I don't
(46:26):

She would have Back, back and I would have taken her back. I would have taken her back.
Yeah, that's amazing. Tell me between Frida and Rosary.
Frida, Rosary, I would take Rosary because I've worked with her.
(48:45):

(02:28):
Absolutely. Tell me, I know I call you Vince on the beach, I know I call you
my guy, but what happens when someone calls you daddy and you don't know?
Maybe someone is calling you daddy.
I have someone who calls me daddy, I have someone who calls me daddy,
I have those people who call me daddy.
Daddy. Oh yeah, sorry. Sorry, sorry.
(02:54):
Maybe tell us about you. Who is Vince on the beat?
My official name is Vincent or the word or Monty.
I am a man from Nyanza, Rongo to be precise.
So, from the village, of course, right? So, you're trying to say that we're
(03:15):
Rongo, but we're not from the village? Okay, we're not Rongo.
Oh, you're trying to say, you're trying to say. But, yo, Rongo is the village.
LaVince on the beat, new album, a boy from the village.
It's out there in all streaming platforms.
And, yo, it's amazing. Trust me, yo. Because I love that song, Marco.
I think I love, I love the whole, let me not be just like, I love one,
(03:36):
I love the whole thing, but. What's your favorite track?
I love that song because I love the King Kaka song too.
You blessed me. Absolutely.
They really touch. The whole project touched, but they really touched somehow.
(03:59):
What are some of the tough situations you had, but still, you almost gave up, but you didn't.
I know. I like how you put it. You almost gave up and you didn't.
Because if you gave up, you couldn't be here right now. True story.
So, my story is long, man. I don't mean to say all over.
(04:22):
So, maybe a few highlights.
I come from a family that never believed in whatever I'm doing right now.
I don't mean to say bad. I really understand that generation.
It's that generation where TikTok, production, artist, Vixen,
DJ, those are not careers.
(04:50):
Those things I mentioned, they were not careers. You would see people who had
left or things like that.
But I knew what I wanted to do. So, we were having fracas with our parents.
And sad enough, I was kicked out of the house.
Because really my dream was to do this and then they wanted me to do this.
(05:11):
So I was seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
They were not seeing the light. So those were the other challenges.
When we went ahead, I came to Kisi where life was a bit tough.
I had just left school. You look for a life as a young man, you look for rentals.
I remember my first house was for Kisii Kisi. And that Kisii Kisi.
(05:33):
Bro, Kisii Kisi. It was a lot back then.
It was really hard to get 1500 to pay the house So it was normal It was like
Other jobs that I didn't have to do I sold credit I sold safari I sold 10,
(05:58):
I have used it So now we are the ones who supply What is it?
I used to go to the liquor store and drink until late at night.
My kids in Kisii, you know, they're tuned. There's a place called Gesonso.
It's very far. It's like from here to where my studio is further.
So I used to walk all the way. You know, you know, liquor store, you open it late.
(06:23):
So you drink until 7 o'clock. True.
At 8 o'clock, I'm still with my husband. He's drunk, but I'm still eating.
I'm like, God. You have to open the next one.
So I open at 7 o'clock. I would walk around the city, and if you know,
it's like a forest-forest walk to home.
So you know, it's a risky life. But at the expense of 3,000 BOP per month.
(06:44):
To pay rent 15,000, you can't even pay rent. So it's a challenge like that.
But I think it's kind of normal because if you hear a lot of people in the industry,
mostly I think our African parents believe that you can make it through industry.
But at some point we understand. We try to understand because there's something
(07:07):
that it needs consistency.
You can't just wake up today unless it's your time. You can't just wake up and
already you're making money, you're known, you know.
And I know back then, whatever you're doing right now, I see you're looking
great. You have something in the pocket from whatever you're doing.
Things like this, it's not just KBC.
(07:28):
YouTube is new, bro. You're monitoring as you're getting something out of it.
You tell your mom or your parents that you're hosting 888 Culture.
Now it doesn't make sense, but back in the day.
I know. God damn. It was crazy. It was crazy, man. How did you manage to,
I know you worked so hard to convince your parents that this thing is doing great and all that.
(07:51):
Was it so difficult for them now to believe in you until this point?
These guys never believed in me until the day I popped. I popped.
We talked for a long time.
Ah, I see. We talked for a long time. There were times when God did something to him.
He popped at home. And then they asked, like, That's when at least we'll go,
(08:43):
oh, kumbe, we're going to find a new man. Let's do something. Wow.
That's great. Yeah. Let's talk about Vins on the Beat now.
The Vins on the Beat, I won't brand you as Vins on the Beat.
Because people say they know you through Kali Craft, but me,
I've known you when you were Vins on the Beat, Vins on the Beat back in Kisii.
So let's talk about Vins on the Beat. How was your journey with Kali Craft, Kwa Meet Kali? Yeah.
(09:08):
And your branding, you know. Big shout out to every fan that knows me from Calligraph.
And big shout out to Kali Mwanyé.
Because he plays a big role.
I can't say without him, I wouldn't be here.
But still, without him, I wouldn't be here. Because he found me.
What he did, he actually sped up the process.
(09:29):
So lovely. Even here, I was supposed to be here.
Even in Mbani Zaidi. But slowly, you find people like Carly King, who want to speed up.
They have Mito here. It's a culture, you do a lot of things and they know you'll get it.
So Carly, we go way back. I was in Kisii, in 2006.
(09:51):
I was an online producer. Which year was that? I can't actually remember,
but it was a couple of years back.
You can go to YouTube and see. I was doing online beats and vlogging.
Guys, this is how you make a beat. Things like that.
So I think, you know, people are looking for content like beats online.
He bumped my beat. He saw my number there.
(10:14):
He called me. He actually called. I had his number before.
But you know, you're a celebrity. You have a celebrity number. How can you call him?
But I'm afraid to call him. You don't know. You call him and he picks up.
You don't know. I love that rejection.
So I had all these numbers. But I couldn't call.
(10:39):
So when he called, it came to my phone, Calligraph Jones.
It wasn't a strange call. It came to Calligraph Jones.
Worse enough, it wasn't like a call. It was like a video call.
So you see my WhatsApp, it was like, Calligraph, I'm like, God damn.
And this house, there's no background.
I went to the wall because I didn't know how to do it. I was like,
(11:02):
I have to go to that place where there is a dirisha.
At least I don't get caught. I'm like a man. You are so good at explaining.
So then we talked. She told me, you are doing a good job.
Blah, blah, blah, blah. We talked in a polite way. She told me,
I'm in Kisi. She told me, you are so talented. I want you to make me a beat.
(11:25):
And because I'm in Kali and I'm in Kisi, Me, I was a fan before I became the
producer. Wow. I remember I played the beat of Old School.
Bro, I took like five minutes, five minutes to skim that whole beat.
By 30 minutes, I was like, bro, you did that in 30 minutes? That's normal.
(11:46):
Guys, the song is called Rwanda Magere.
And it over-hit. I know. You get it.
But did you expect it was going that far in exemption of Kali being Kali Craft?
Like, did you expect like... Baby, I didn't know anything. I just see you expecting.
I sent the beat and it went missing. I talked to her again.
One month, I talked to her again. So I was like, ah, these are the things that I promise is empty.
(12:10):
I don't know if it came out when I didn't know. I'm just saying.
You didn't use a project that you used on the beat? No, no.
I saw the project on YouTube like two days later. It had your tag? It had a tag.
That's where the big shout out to Vince on the beat came out.
So I was saying, Kisii, Nyanjwa, they're checking me. They're like,
Vince Manzi, when did you produce Ghali?
(12:32):
I'm like, ah, I don't know. What are they doing? I didn't even see him.
I didn't even go online. Bro, what are you doing?
I didn't see him. When I got in, I found Mimi.
How did you feel?
I know. Tell me how you felt. Tell me. Bro, I didn't have the actual word.
Yeah. But I was overwhelmed.
I didn't even know what to do.
(12:54):
I didn't know because I was like, I was like one million thousands steps ahead of you. Seeing expect.
I was just a guy in Kisii doing beats.
I didn't know like, I can do a job. Sure.
So life changed like a flip of a coin since that day. Until now, we thank God. Wow.
(13:16):
How's been, how's your journey been working with Calligraph?
It's not one project, not five.
You have done a couple of projects, like a lot of projects with OG.
How's your journey been with him? So after we did that Londa Magere project,
it's on YouTube, it's getting views, 500,000.
I don't know how those are going to be. In terms of money, I didn't know anything.
(13:41):
And I didn't expect, I didn't want him to pay me anything. anything.
I was so excited to do that job.
I was so excited to do that job.
But then I sat down and I thought, so after this, what next?
Because right now what I have in Kisii is what is called fame.
(14:01):
But the bad part is that it's negative. And that's where depression comes. Depression, bad.
Deadly. So I was there in Kisii, hype, Kiasi kiasi, kinakatapila I saw him here. He was here.
Kinakatapila, tunarap, tunarap tunafanya machallenge. Zile ma yesbana zimetoka,
nisha fanya remix hapo yivu.
(14:23):
Masijui, leave me alone nisha to a bit. So, nafanafanya vitu,
lakin nisijui what next.
Nika sema manze, sometimes you go get it. Nisikuna mtu takuletea yu.
Nika sema what I want to do, I want to risk.
I remember yu times kuwa na do, nakumbuka I had like maybe 25 or 3K.
I said I'm going to Nairobi. And it was 2020.
(14:47):
How old were I? Roughly around 2020. Guys, I know you might think that I'm born
in Nairobi, that I'm here. Me, I came here yesterday.
When I knew first I joined in Kisiki?
I said, oh, you're a young man. Kisii, you're a young man. Normal.
You're not bad, you're not bad at all. You're not bad at all.
(15:10):
Normal, normal, normal. That's amazing.
So I said, I'm coming to Nairobi. Sure. I'm coming to get the dream that I have in my head.
I have it in my head, I'm sleeping.
But I want to actualize it now. So I came with my 3K.
Let me tell you. Did you know anyone in Nairobi then? I didn't know anyone.
(15:32):
Wow. Yo, I don't even have a relative in Nairobi.
Was it the first time? Yeah. It was my first time. No.
I don't know how to explain it. I don't know how to explain it.
This is exclusive on 808.
This is the fourth year now basically in Nairobi.
I'm brand new. I'm new. This is where you were in Nairobi when you were a kid.
(15:57):
Wow. Okay. So I came to Nairobi, I didn't know anyone, but I got a saviour,
a big shout out to David Guaro, who was managing Nadia at the moment.
Nadia was a hit at the time. So I had her number.
Remember I told you I was doing online beats? So I used to remake beats of artists.
(16:18):
There are upcoming covers.
So there's a time, Hellmind, the studio of Nadia, they were doing most of the
covers. So I know I make beats immediately.
I don't know if there's a producer who is talented in your design.
Like the beat comes out of nowhere.
Five minutes later, you have a beat. So I was quick. So I think he got my number.
(16:45):
So when I came tonight,
Because I didn't know him, I said, this is not the number of David Goro.
I don't want to misuse it.
I called him. I went to his studio. I was in his studio.
When I landed, let me give you another story. When I landed,
I had dripped to his size. His size was too big.
(17:08):
So when I got to the studio, we were just talking casually. Vince,
are you normal? Blah, blah, blah.
We were talking. Time was ticking. And I know very well that after this,
I don't know where I'm going. Where are you going?
No, no. We're talking. I'm like, hey, man, I'm not going to go to the normal.
It's not like that. At times, I'm like, I'm going to be there in 10,
11, 12. At one time, he started talking about that crap he was doing.
(17:32):
He was like, I've been so.
Man, thank you. Man, next time, we'll link. Roy started talking.
I'm like, where are you going? Where are you going? I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I went to a lodge.
It can be done there. It can be done there. What am I going to do?
And this is Nairobi. If you leave your village, there's a way.
(17:52):
Yeah. Nairobi, you hear, it's like you can ask people. Ask people.
There's a way. I don't know. I don't know crimes. I don't know anything.
There's nothing like that.
Then it's COVID. The curfews are starting to... People are starting to walk. Walk.
It got to a point, now I'm the one who's listening. We're going to talk.
I told David, you just told me earlier. All of these were hype.
(18:15):
Bro, I don't have a place to go. I don't have a house, I don't have anything.
I came here to look for life in Nairobi.
I don't know where to go. So how do I do it? I'm not easy.
I swear, I even told my father, I told him to lock me up here in Dhani.
Because there's no place to go. Yeah, there's no place to go.
(18:35):
It's like being out here in Embakasi, or in the gate.
And I just sit there, like Shauli.
I don't even know where I am. Every building is different.
Every place is different. I don't know if I came here or I'm here.
I don't know. I told him, bro, what do you do? Lock me in here.
(18:56):
I'm going to lock you in here for the sake of security of your equipment.
I don't know where I'm going.
I'm God because I know where he trusts me. He actually locked the door.
He locked the door? Yeah.
I was locked up like that. I remember I was sleeping on the carpet,
So I was just But that's Big shout out to him Because He gave me accommodation
(19:20):
Accommodation That helped So I slept there,
Next day he arrived He came and opened the door That's when we started The real
talk of men It was hype I said bro I don't have a place to go I'll go there
He had a producer friend Named Aubrey,
So we just started working,
First forward I started getting Two or three to rent, what, what, what.
(19:43):
So, we must fast forward to go up. Be sure to God every day.
This is the real from grass to grass.
From grass to grass, man. Be sure to God. Yeah. The story is brave but it's
not that big. I know, I know.
We appreciate where you are right now.
I see you have worked with a lot of people and funny enough, like,
(20:06):
I find it funny because it's rare to find a producer A producer at the same
time is good at singing or rapping. You're very versatile.
How do you manage to do this? First of all, it's grace.
It's grace. I said grace. It's God's gift.
Second of all, I was an artist before producer. Producer. So I used to go to
(20:29):
producers to produce for me songs.
You know in our country, I'm SDA.
Right? Right? So I was at the church playing the keyboard and singing these church songs.
But then along the way, I wanted to sound like Willie Paul and Bahati.
Don't lie, bro. We cried. In short, Willie Paul. Well, it inspired me every time. Inspired.
(20:52):
Pause. I wanted to pause. Bahanye.
And others. I wanted to sound like them. At that time, they were singing Sitolia or something.
So, I go to the producer and my thing, I give them a beat that sounds like Mbamba Mbamba.
I'm like, now, now, now, it's going to be great. I can't make I can't Yo,
(21:14):
Maze You see We're dying So At that point I said I
want to make My own beats Right That's when
I switched To production And I was like I'm going to be back Yeah You cannot
serve Two masters You cannot actually Throw two stones To one person Absolutely
I had to decide Which side I was going to take I said Let me take production
Because at least There you can get something Something You're an artist,
(21:39):
You know Yeah Yeah Man.
It's not easy. It's crazy. You cannot earn immediately. You have to invest your time.
So I went into production. Right now, I have solidified production.
They know I'm a producer. And a dope one. A deadly one.
(21:59):
So right now, what I'm doing is I'm actually adding flavor to my brand.
I'm going back to singing. I'm going back to singing. I'm going back to singing.
I'm going back to singing.
I know. I know what you do. I know what you do.
We burn them proper. You know what I mean? So these days we're trying to do
this and that. Production.
(22:21):
You haven't received any negative results about what you do because it's rare.
I started having negative results before I started. So I'm used to it.
Actually, I thought haters are haters until I knew haters are fans in denial.
They love you. They love you.
(22:43):
In public, you're a joke. You're a joke, but you have to say it.
They hear it. They hear it. They hear it.
When they sleep, they do that. But in the public, they don't.
It's normal. It takes the rain and the sun for the plants to grow, right?
So to put in love, to put hate, to end in halo.
(23:05):
Wow. That's amazing, amazing, Sana. Yeah.
Vince on the beat. I know you are the, Bila msani, bila wewe, mimi siyo msani.
Bila mimi, you are not a producer. Yeah.
I know you see a lot of things, you meet a lot of wasani, Even now,
we're in a situation like this.
The people, the people, the people, the people, the people, you hear,
(23:30):
like, so you meet different people with how they do their music.
What's your principle? Like, when I come to record, you'll find, I'm using drugs.
Without that drug, I can't record. How? Will you tell me, like,
do you have those rules before the artist comes?
(23:50):
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Where do you smoke up and down?
You can try. I don't have rules to people's lives. Oh, it's okay.
But I have rules in my premise.
Yeah. If you have to smoke to get the vibe, go and smoke outside.
Okay. Go and smoke outside, get your vibe, and come back, do whatever you're
(24:13):
doing. But I'm not advising at him when they smoke.
Smoking is actually a lose. For example, when you want to smoke weed and cigarette,
they just short term hallucination when you are high it's like when you take painkiller you take,
panadol you're not cured it just makes you feel like you're healed but when
(24:37):
it's over you go back so there are some people who say I have to use this to get stimulated,
you're just having fun there's nothing you're doing you can actually record well when you're sober,
so So I'm not advising him to use drugs, but if you have to use that is actually
your life, go and smoke outside there. That's it.
(25:01):
Another thing, you meet a lot of people who are artists, you know them a lot.
Would you think that someone will come and record you? Because I know you record everyone.
Or you look like someone has to pay you, you know. Leave alone even paying you.
Maybe someone wants to use your money.
But I'm a talent. Will you tell this person that, Mwenzwa, this is not easy,
(25:26):
or you just take their money?
Because there's a lot of producers out here, they'll take your money,
but they just, we see a lot of producers, they're trending, but you don't expect
the producer to take your money.
You know, sometimes, there's two sides of the story.
Whatever you're seeing, that person you see as mediocre, you see as a producer,
he took your money for no reason. That is actually the best they could do.
(25:49):
So it's not that he wanted to take money that's the best thing he did like him
but me personally for you to go to Instagram and type Vince,
you have to have something you can't come mediocre,
and even if you come mediocre I'll make sure you go back when you're smiling
we will take the whole day the whole week even if it's not today you'll come
(26:10):
tomorrow even by the time I tag my big shout out to Vince on the beat by the
way it's a shame that he didn't hear,
and he got it Branding way more, I know.
What do you think our industry is missing that other people are doing?
Because it has been on blogs and a lot of people are talking about this.
Like we are not, come our Sanio or Kenya or anyone in the industry,
(26:34):
we are not prioritized or what? That one, you know. Yeah.
We are trying to do, we have amazing artists up in India.
They are doing good. but they don't have that they don't have that platform,
sometimes we are told like you are not good but you feel like it's dope but
(26:55):
sometimes they don't have that platform and what do you think we are not doing that others are doing,
I think I think I've learnt a lot in the game if I could answer this differently
like the media the DJs we are doing in our country right now my mindset I said it's different, Maze.
(27:16):
Listen, I came from the village, right? Sure.
Along the journey, I have a song that is known.
Let me talk about Kali. I'm a king. Kali came from Kaiole. He was a juli-kana.
He was a juli-kana. He was a juli-kana. He was a juli-kana. He was a juli-kana.
The Kenyan flag outside the whole continent.
(27:36):
The king came from Kaliole. He was a juli-kana. He was just a basic person.
Now, King Kaka is doing movies.
These videos are in the book. Right? So right now, all I can say is that the
future of the Kenyan music industry is really bright.
We don't need welding as Femiya said.
Where we used to be, we are not today.
(27:59):
So we have artists like Nadia, I see them playing shows outside.
So, if we are not okay, we will have to work on it, we will work on it slowly,
and eventually we will reach our goal.
You cannot come from one to a hundred straight up. You will go up to ten,
(28:21):
fifty, ninety six, ninety eight, to a hundred.
What's your view on Gengetown? I think Gengetown People have been against Gengetown
As a producer What is your view on Gengetown music?
These days it's called Abanton I don't know why they call it Abanton So I don't
know I think there's Abanton and Gengetown Or is just Gengetown rebranded to be Abanton?
(28:45):
Be sure to Gengetown Because I'm a producer Go to my channel I have like 1 million
beats of Gangetown. Gangetown is my tour. What do you mean, channel?
Right? You know, when I was in Kisii, I made a lot of beats.
I even made a lot of beats with the people of Nairobi.
A few people. There's X-Ray, X-Ray King. Yeah. There's HR.
(29:08):
There's my besties, they were there, wrong guy. True.
I was in Kisii, Nyanchu, they were making beats. Bro, I heard your voice on
the mat. Yeah. I'm like, mat guy. What's a mat? Mat is this.
Mat, I know mat is mke. Mkeka. I don't know why we're talking about this.
So, our picture is Gengeton. Gengeton has brought me here a lot.
(29:29):
So, Abanton is... Abanton is a cover.
You know how people cover Gangoma?
Abanton, most of the beats are rhythm. Rhythms that don't know who they are.
Cannot mention names, but the artists nowadays... It's not bad.
If that's what we want to do, do it. but in
(29:50):
terms of if you're looking it as business
I will not advise that because any
time you're using somebody's beat they already
there's a composer there's a producer there's an instrumentalist they've already
monetized so basically you're doing your job to make your condo blow dry there's
nothing you're doing you're just singing but all the revenue and everything
(30:13):
goes to the other side so if you're wise enough do original stuff do authentic stuff,
So, big shout out to Abanton gang. Kina Godi Tenna. Nawa juu,
mi usikiza izi vitu. I know them. Yo, mi I do research. I know.
Godi Tenna, suju kina nani. Una ule, wah, wah, wah, wah. Do me, I do you.
(30:33):
Suju, nitu fanya majambos. Nitu marinate. Wah, wah, wah. Nikali. TikTok.
TikTok. TikTok. I love TikTok. Oh, yeah. Nizo.
Nikali. I think that's Abanton. Nizo ni Abanton. Ziko sawa.
But if you can at least as a producer to switch to equal and originality a little
bit we're locked man we're locked big shout out to Motif Dido and I've seen
(30:57):
he's been promoting a lot that's amazing.
Who do you look up to as a producer I know there's a lot of producers that inspire
you because Vincent the Beat is a big name but,
we're like Prezo I know Prezo is already gone so who is going to go I have a
friend called Metro Boom That guy Manze is doing exactly what I would want to do.
(31:22):
And of course here in Kenya I have a lot of projects. I have Marvel. So Fresh is deadly.
There's the one you did with BN with Scar.
Mad. There's... what else?
We have Motif. We have Magix Enga, even if it's not what it is,
(31:43):
it's still like that. We have Sean.
We have Sean. We have Musioka. Musioka, the legendary Musioka. What are the producers?
Ihaji. Ihaji. What are they called? Vicky Pondis, Alexis. Alexis,
yeah. I have a lot of producers.
If you do a good job, you still inspire me. but generally to booming your producer
(32:10):
Mbaena Taka Nikue Kamayeli nice oh ataman where do you see yourself,
for Vince 10 years is a lot where do you see yourself 5 years from now I'm actually
being the Kenyan Metro man in 5 years I'm locking that even if it's a lot but
it's okay let's put it there because of you because of you and the fans let's
(32:34):
pay that time but But, bro, God is good all the time.
I've been in the church for a long time. So, these people believe that I've
been here for four years.
Looks like I've been here for like 10 years. Right? It's four years.
That's why I was surprised.
I'm like, what? Put that five on the side. Put that five on the side.
Because one step backward three years ago. One life. You get it?
(32:57):
So in the next few years, Tuyani, very few, I'm going to be taking the Kenyan flag to the next level.
I said when I was launching EP, if you have someone who will take care of me,
but I feel like I'm going to be the very first producer.
Kenyan. To win that Afrema. I will win and I will fight with my heart. Wow.
(33:19):
How do you feel the first time, because you won an award there,
a museum there, a studio.
How did you feel the first time you got an award? I felt appreciated.
Yesterday I was in an event where I was awarding people events.
It has come to the point where I am now awarded. award.
(33:42):
So it's a blessing. I felt like I'm appreciated.
Every day in life, if you're not awarded, I'm a motivated bastard at the time I was looking for.
Anytime I'm not motivated, I won't be there.
Whatever you're doing, there's something you're getting.
Whatever you're doing, there's something you're getting. Whenever I do production, I keep doing it.
(34:05):
If I don't get enough money to pay, I won't be there. I'll be somewhere else.
So yeah, I felt appreciated. And we did a lot of work.
Let's say I know you're a woman.
I won't say it's not me, but I'm saying your opinions.
It's fresh, it's good, you're handsome. It's not me, I'm not saying it. I'm not saying it.
(34:33):
You're a woman, you're fresh. I know you're a woman. You manage your things.
I heard them say these are the things of the world so the things of the world
we deal with them here in the world you told me this is a distraction they said
we are a distraction they said that yeah what we can say I just gonna quote what King Kaka says,
(34:57):
these are the things of the world the things of the world we deal with them
here in the world here in the world no one will tell me bro Angel Gabriel will
beat me no one will beat me here so right now if we are still here What do you have? Send me a DM.
Send me a DM to link Manzai to find out about Manzai. It's the world, man.
You're ready to explore. We are still exploring. Let's get it, man. It's good vibes.
(35:21):
We're not here to fake any life. Good vibes, Anisha. Yeah. That's what's up.
I want you to give me a cappella of one of your favorite projects from your album.
But movies aren't casting, life is fantastic, circles are small and enemies
(35:43):
are distancing, friends are millions we are discussing, you are eating, you are disgusting,
success is what they have been wanting, blessings in abundance,
kiss mati, see me on the streets everyday, I am hustling, they hate on my tracks, but they are bumping.
(36:11):
Wow, that's amazing, amazing. Loibo. What are the things of the piece?
Do you mentor other producers?
Like, I'm a friend. Ah, it's a good question. How many of you have this? Yeah, I have classes.
I do classes every weekend. I just rescheduled one because I was coming to respect
Mito here for the Ethiopian culture.
(36:31):
Every weekend, every weekend, we have classes. classes.
I have a couple of producers named Mwamente, who have left.
Just to name a few, Luigi who has done Blue Tinks. He was my student.
Now he makes moves. There's another named Leo.
Track near Leo has done the latest music for Trio Mio. He has done Breeder.
(36:52):
That music for Trio and Savara. Savara is my band.
Control. The guy was my guy.
So I'm actually spreading wings little by little. dog. So if you come to classes, call me.
What's your package? Young people can see it and say it's affordable.
(37:12):
We'll pay a rate card. It's affordable. I've never said my rate card online
anywhere since I started because you know, I'm just explaining.
There are deals we've made for millions. There are zero budgets.
So the vibe it will be, you can say, I have skills and I don't have money.
We do we are here in the world but if you have money you have to pay right? sure,
(37:37):
Maybe I'm an artist Not a piece of a piece Okay, a centralizer as a artist How
would you like to go about it?
See, you're not coming to But if I see you can feature in a song,
If I see you can feature in a song If I see you can feature in a song You're
(38:01):
paying I can say Maratatu is my part,
You're coming for a feature But if I'm going to feature you, you'll pay.
But if you're going to feature me, I'll try to do it.
I do charge. You have to appreciate. Yeah. Because it's going to put you on another level.
Man, it's a big tizzy. Manze, tizzy is my second home.
(38:25):
I went there not knowing I was going to receive it.
When we did that song with Kali, Kuwame I thought it's good Ni weze kuenda Tanzania
On my budget, self-sponsored Ili ni weze ku.
Tuko na ma-prodiza wengine Ambao wa metuwa ngoma kubwa,
(38:46):
Lakini hawa tuwajui Tuwajui kabisa Lakini
ngoma zina hit I think that's not my calling Mimi na tazima munijue Mimi you
have to know me So when I did that song I went to Tanzania Hata ndo ime nipea
The other song with Rosary and other songs are coming like Kontawa and I made
a song with Mario they come and I spread two wings and I went to East Africa so,
(39:09):
Tanzania is my second home,
that's amazing yeah what about Uganda?
What's the next thing? is you're going to Uganda by the late summer?
That's it you're going to school by the late summer I went to Uganda,
To see, you know what I mean, I do what's called recognizing or pre-visit.
(39:31):
Benchmarking. I study the environment and I do two or three things.
So when I go back, now I'm doing STEM. Like Chameleon, and Vinca.
Vinca is Uganda.
Spice. We're just learning. Projects are coming. Don't worry. I got this one.
So you're going to do it. I feel like music is down.
(39:56):
I think recently I just listened to I don't think they're trying but I think
they're dope the two ladies,
Vinka and Spice but the rest Spice is too good the rest is okay two is better
than one every day, so Spice can do good,
(40:19):
Vinka but if there's no 15 people we can't see Uganda in the future.
So there's a way that the industry is also in a bad shape.
But I don't know. Maybe, you know sometimes we have bigger dreams.
Maybe I can dream about that. We can't know.
We can't know, we're hoping for the best. So when I go back to Uganda,
(40:42):
it will be difficult. You're nailing it. It will be difficult.
Okay. So, Vincent, let's talk about of like a hip hop as a one genre?
Yeah, I'm very versatile, man. I do everything. I do gospel, I do hip hop, ganga tone.

There's a space you can be working with someone. Even if we're all good,
I've worked with Mandy, by the way, and Trio and X-Ray.
I've worked with Femi on her single project and after that, Suspect and Kata. And Saru too.

He's doing some some good good stuff but I've worked with Flaco before he's
already done Goma he's already been on his skits when he's shooting but I'll
(46:02):
choose Krazy Kenna what's so unique what's so unique,
what's so unique that you think Krazy Kenna is doing,
that's not unique in Flaco because I think people have been saying Flaco those
things he can do is one person but at the same time reflect even 10 people at
the same time it's so unique but it's been done before by that Nigerian I don't
(46:26):
know the one who did the collabo yeah yeah so I feel like it's a Nigerian.
Yeah so he's actually repeating something that is done but crazy every day authentic
sells more if you're authentic you can sell everyday so that's why I would choose
my brother but Flaco big shout out wow yeah If I was to give you ambarei.
