TOM – Uhuru Clothing & DJ Mista Dru – image courtesy of 2Kat Events
Dru (Andrew Siro) is like my brother from another mother – I think I look out for this cat more than many other of my own relatives. Dru was recently in the US to do a tour of shows but we cut his tour short due to many other complications from promoters and unsure investors. I wont get into the gory details here because I don’t wish to disrespect anyone – however I hope in future that all these Kenyan events in the US get streamlined one way or another with some professionalism.
I think the problem we have in the US is eveyrone thinks they can be a promoter, everyone thinks they can put the acronym DJ infront of their names and makes them a DJ… and every DJ or most DJs think they can be promoters – so the market right now has just gotten a little bit clustered with people who know what they are doing and people who dont know what they are doing.
None the less – Dru wanted to share his MARCH MADNESS mix as the few of us root for UCONNNNNNNNNN (Not sure how many of you watch NCAA but there is a RELATIVE OF MINES there called Hasheem Thabeet). Ukimuona mwambie namsaka…
Enjoy the mellow grooves here

Leo u done hit the nail on the head ryt thurr….on pseudo djs and promotors (damn darn near everybody n they mama is a dj now) – uconn all the way Hasheem is a beast…..ddddaammnn!!!!plus he reps tz big too so me feelin alot of love for the kid ryt now – oh btw that means we related too cuz he’s related to me but then so is obama too.
Yeah thats so OBAMA mayneee!! ha ha ha
HASHEEM is the only public or should I say Global Pride Tanzanians have right now, apart from him there is a 30 second commercial that comes on CNN US that I always stand as if its the National Anthem being sang… Kenyans ran with OBAMA since he was a Senetor… So for Tanzanians we will stick to Hasheem for now, and probably Mt. Kilimanjaro!
Cheers…
Leo @ Co!Major props and respect for bringing this Major issue up, of the so calleds Djs/Promoters. Its about time the eastafrican community learn’s of these “Shady Djs/Promoters Cartel” mostly among the Kenya US communtity. Its a shame and ripoff for eastafrican fans to be “entertained” to the same old Djs/artists, flyer after flyer, its played out,period! The long scenario is, this is gradually killing the music industry as a whole. Besides,you can only be a Djs/Promoters for so long. Time will tell.
Not hating but does all kenyan dj have the same style and songs in the playlist ..juu been listening to mixes and its all kinda same with every dj nowdays..no need to mix if u aint gonna bring new shit .
