Jumamosi hii, October 12, itakuwa ni miaka 24 tangu kifo cha mwanamuziki wa Congo, François Luambo Luanzo Makiadi.
Hakuna shaka kwamba, muziki wake ni maarufu mno, si kwa wazee tu bali hata kwa vijana wa leo ambao walikuwa wakiziskia nyimbo zao kupitia wazazi wao. Na ndio maana rapper wa Kenya, Kanyeria, Pro, RD, Khaligraph, Kristoff na KDuces wamekuja na The Franco Cypher kuadhimisha kifo cha mwanamuziki huyo mkongwe. Ngoma hii imesample ngoma ya mwanamuziki huyo aliyekuwa akisifika kwa kucharaza gitaa na imetengenezwa na Kanyeria, ikiwa ni ngoma ya kwanza kutoka Niaje Music Studios.

Hizi ni historia fupi za rappers hao.
KHALIGRAPH JONESHUMBLE * GO-GETTER * HUMAN
My dad loved Franco so I ended up loving his music because I heard it all the time. I even did my own version of Mario which was the hit song that launched me into the music scene. This tribute was fun to be part of. I got to rap alongside rappers both known and unknown but all have killer skills. My accent? I like to think I just have a different pronounciation of words. It’s an art and I mastered it.
PROENTHUSIASTIC * GO-GETTER * MONEY-MINDED
I just got back in the country. I’m based in Dubai and as soon as I touched down, my small brother Kristoff got me hooked on music. I grew up listening to Franco so I love his music. The best moment in recording this track was right before I dropped my lines and Franco sings! I come from a musical family and we’re the best in rap, Kristoff my small brother kills it, Collo my cousin also kills it, so what did I do? Killed it.
KANYERIA FLEXIBLE * PASSIONATE * SIMPLE
People know me as a producer. I’ve worked with the best in the game. But a couple of months ago I figured I’d try and rap. I’m doing good in it too! I’m a Franco fan, I grew up on his music! So a tribute to him was important to me
and I decided to feature some of the best rappers in the game!What people don’t know about me? I’m hooked to video games and I have a pet dog named Easy (No dirty jokes please)
KLIEN KALONZOCOOL * CALM * COLLECTED
I’m 21 and this is the first song I’ve ever released. When Franco was around I was just a rumour but I’m open to listening to any music so I find his music unique. I can’t play the guitar but I love the guitar in Franco’s music
I did my verse in 2 takes. The first take had a lot of shrubing but the next was perfect! I like all the flavour all the rappers brought to the song and I’m pretty sure I killed it too! I’m a rapper with a free spirit so get ready for more!
RD (Producer of TOKELEZEA)PLAYFUL * TALENTED * CREATIVE
This is the first song I’m releasing. I’m a producer but I can rap too, pretty well. I love Franco’s music and I’ve been listening to that genre for so long. So when I heard the beat, I knew I had to drop a few lines on it.
Recording and just being in the booth is a high for me so I’m definitely going to hit you with a few more songs soon.
Will I keep producing? Yeah, I’m a killer rapper, killer producer so I’ll do both.
KRISTOFF HONEST * LOVING * CARING
My dad played Franco all the time so I had to love his music! I enjoyed being part of this tribute, I loved how my rhymes complimented Franco’s voice and I’m pretty sure if Franco heard it, he’d be proud of us. Not many people know, that yeah I’m a rapper, but I have a sensitive side too. The men don’t appreciate it, but the ladies do!
