Interview: Rapper-Turned-RnB Artiste Talks About His New Style

Right at the beginning of this month, Ndegz was unveiled as an artiste who is about to take over the Kenyan music industry. A few days before the release of Lift Me Up, he spoke to Adelle, his manager, about his new style and new track that is set to be the beginning of a musical revolution.

Adelle: “Are you rebranding? Are you switching up your style? Or is it just the same Ndegz that we heard on the Skamaress track?”

Ndegz: “I think what you go through as an artiste with every track that you make, you gain more of an identity. And I think I’m starting to gain more and more of that each and every song that I produce by the day. But for sure I think there’s a rebranding element to it simply because I’ve decided to fuse my music more with RnB and initially it was more hip hop, hard-hitting beats and now it’s mellow.”

Adelle: “Do you think it’s going to be refreshing in the Kenyan music industry?”

Ndegz: “Most definitely. I’m really excited to hear what Kenyans think about it first and foremost. Simply because it’s different?”

Adelle: “What is it about? Is it a personal story?”

Ndegz: “It’s called Lift Me Up, I think it’s a personal story for everyone. It’s the kind of song that everyone can relate to because you’ve been there at some point in your life. Lift Me Up is a song about having a bad day, a bad week, bad month, bad year. Whatever it is, you’re in a bad place. And it’s about finding or having that some one, or in my case, I’m talking about a girl.”

Adelle: “Hopefully. [Laughs]”

Ndegz: “Hey, no. So, it’s about a chick who when you’re in your lowest of lows is able to take you to greater heights and literally lift up your spirits and changes your mood completely. And so the first part of the song delves into that part of the relationship.”
