RIP Captain Chinga who pushed Hip Hop and urban music during the later FM 101 era.

I remember spending one night in Zomba hunting down a promoter who wanted to play funny with performance fees, together with Lomwe Lo Aimor Chiko, Cyclone Mw, Frank CN and a couple of other guys.

Rest well, brother.

Zinthunzi zinayamba kusokonekera pamene Hip Hop ya ku Malawi inayamba kumapangidwa group limodzi ndi zinthu zina zosiyana, zonse ndikumangotchulidwa "urban music".

Ndizosiyana, chilichonse pa chokha.

The genre that we love lost its identity when dedicated platforms like The Drill and The Tunnel died.

Genres are still important. Crossovers and collaboration are essential, but they should not kill genres deliberately, unless they die a natural death.

A lot of artists rode on the back of Hip Hop, then turned on it and abused it when it no longer became convenient to them.

The DNA of this genre will always be different.

Pano zikukhazikitsidwanso m'malo.

This is the Hip Hop that we have grown to love.

One stage. One microphone.

Aliyense abwere, aonetse zake.

Kaya ndi zenizeni, kaya ndi zojambula za (w)ana.

Let everyone showcase their talent, and let the crowd choose.

Long live Hip Hop.

Sometimes I reflect on times when life was simpler and more peaceful, writing songs to "beats" I made by looping movie soundtracks using tapes and recording over them.

A peaceful, lone venture.

Just creating, compelled by a higher channel, never knowing that one day my music would be heard. It was something that was within me. I love art.

I always create without any pressure. The worst music I have made is when I felt pressure, my heart was not in it, or I felt the "need" to deliver.

When I am free that's when I make the best music and people experience my essence.

When I create, I am whole.

I wanted to contribute more to the colours of the tapestry that is Malawian music. Life got in the way.

I still create, alone and at peace. Not minding whether my music ever gets heard or not.

At peace.

Mongokumbutsana, mabungwe osiyanasiyana ali ndi katanthauzidwe kosiyanasiyana ka mawu okuti youth, koma pa mabungwe onsewa, youth samadutsa zaka 35.

Ku Malawi kuno zimaoneka kuti tili ndi tanthauzonso lina losiyana.

Inu mukuona bwanji?

Tanthauzo lanu la youth ndi chani, ndipo asadutse zaka zingati?
