Using his intricate wordplay and delivery the cosmopolitan with Kenyan roots celebrated individual- & nerd-ism between melodic productions and vibes that were reminiscent of early Childish Gambino, Grieves or Drake. “NHNW was a time of self-discovery, identification. I guess you could say this was my interpretation of living between the worlds.”
