Professor Jay – Kama Ipo (GetMziki Exclusive ***)
I dont know if I have ever put it out there publicly that I really love Professor Jay, not just as an artist but as a person. For realz I really really love this cat. I can spend hours with this cat on the phone just laughing coz the guy is just an infectiously funny interesting guy, with a lot of knowledge and interesting things to say about life and his experiences. Honestly once you get over his position in the market place and the fact that he is a very successful Bongo Flava artist, once you get him real comfortable to become himself – Joseph Haule is eventually just an interestingly honest calm funny guy.
So the fact that I am all jazzed up about the man is not directly related with the fact that this track is just a hot azz track. Prof collaborated with Fish Crab Cook Out on this banger to deliver what I think is undoubtedly the next sing along track in Tanzania. 41 Records/G Records or Fish Crab Cook Out are on to some next level production right now. I like how these guys just defined a sound that I can readily identify as Tanzanian Bounce.
To be real honest right now I am like a baby in a topless bar, itching to release this track so lets go hard on this one – its a friday, if your a DJ rip this and GO HARD on the crowds tonight. On every part Jay say Kama IPO – KILL the faders and let the crowd learn that life is about ups and downs… But if you got it.. you’ve got it 
Kama Ipo, Ipo tu.
I had to share some of the images I got from the production shoot.
For some reason Jay always likes shooting next to Mkokoteni's ...
Although I do hope all these cars being flossed here are Jay's ha ha ha and not rentals.
Sidenote: Its amazing how a country that has problems with power, water and other major economical problems currently. Has a 3% population that lives way above their means and feels nothing about the rest of the country… It always jazzes me when I look at the inequalities and the disparities between the different communities in Tanzania… Interesting times in that country right now.

Born in Denmark and breed in Tanzania Espen Sorensen is probably one of the few foreign artists to come out of East Africa that I think has established a solid brand for his performance acts. His artist name already raises so many questions to locals who adore and love him because they cant believe this white man can sing and flow in their local dialect. I guess thats why they labelled him Crazy White Man – Mzungu Kichaa.
His debut album which is under his record label Caravan Records seems to be an instant hit both in Tanzania (East Africa) and in his native country also Denmark. Looking at his performances on youtube I see he loves the guitar and the whole acoustics soul thing with swahili that I totally dig – I can say Mzungu Kichaa is a true entertainer. The guy is already over accomplished, having performed alongside virtually every big artists and band in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Zanzibar – I don’t know what else to expect from him.
A few weeks ago we debuted this video on our homepage – but very few people go to our homepage (index). (Does anyone really care that GetMziki has been on Beta testing for like 1 year now ha ha ha, we really should move things around here to proper directories and destinations lol) Either way – now that the song is out and is getting airplay in South Africa, Kenya and parts of Nigeria – we thought why not share it with the world… Professor Jay is always a blessing on any track so I wont talk about him, but I gotta say that soul stress Mwasiti can really blow/sing I totally love those vocals… more please?
