DJ Week: DJ Mista Prime/ DJ Mista Cee (Primetime Radio)
I’ve worked in the Entertainment industry for a while both in the US and in Africa. I worked for a record label in the US for close to 3 years and then moved back to Kenya worked for Entertainment companies for a year, started my own and then eventually ended up on Radio. I guess I am what you can call well rounded – or gone full circle when it comes to being able to dabble my hands in the Music industry.
While in Kenya I had the opportunity of working with some of the most talented individuals, DJs, promoters and business owners. But by far my greatest experiences were spent working with the local DJs because i got to play a part in feeling the music, feeling the crowd and it reminded me of my tenure at the record label in the US. Its with this same passion that I started this site with my partners and continue to carry the same voice throughout most of my online journeys.
That said every year my partners in Kenya send me music sets of work we had done back in 2005/2006 (thats a long time ago) but whats phenomenal is that the material still sounds so good and so fresh today. So whenever this time of the year arrives we celebrate our existence, our success and failures and most importantly our friendship by sharing this work amongst ourselves.
In 2006 I built a radio show called Prime Time Radio which was to be hosted by DJ Prime and DJ Cee. The show was to be syndicated in Tanzania and Uganda – the first time these two were ever going to be on radio, the fruits of which are attached below. (They will kill me for sharing this sets but I think its worth knowing these two personalities the way I knew them).

I also grabbed some images a blast from the past you can scheme through – Most of these were taken during the Chart awards and some during some of our events in Tanzania and in Kenya. But these are all some of my fond memories with my Entertainment posse – Blackstar Ent. Enjoy. And although many of these people are doing different things today including myself – its always nice to reminisce and think about how we changed the game in East Africa at one point… Special shouts to Prime (Kintu), Cee (Chris), D-Block (Danny), Smallz (Brian), French (Brian), Edu-G (Edward), Nyota (Nyota), Amazing (Alex), Makumbi (Marcus), Zoom (Moses), Dru (Andrew)… Thanks for the years – Am coming home soon ha ha ha..
