Juliani:Na bado…!!!

He is the true defination of ‘from raggs, to riches’.Gospel rapper, Juliani has proved to be a man of his word and dreams. Since he started rapping, he mentioned his dream to buy a Mercides Benz in most of his songs-“nataka ku-improve niwe baller/ni-buy ki-mercides/lakini ma-fans hawataki ku-buy ma-CDs…” (from Mtaa Mentality). True to his word,

Juliani owns a silver Mercides C class, and to top it all, he recently added a BMW 5 Series to his garage, bought from his own sweat and determination.

This is a real husler and is the perfect example for all that I have been writing about (hustle in the music industry). It is without a doubt that getting money in this industry of ours is realy realy… realy hard. To make it, you have to have the heart and determination like Juliani’s.

Juliani started off from the great urban hiphop rap group, UKOO FLANI MAUMAU, and slowly but surely rose to where he is now (The most celebrated artiste in kenya). I remember his first video with Kitu Sewer ‘Na Ka’, way before he had dreadlocks, infront of a gate in Dandora, spiting mad lyrics… no one ever imagined him beeing who he is right now, except himself.

Juliani’s music is recognised worldwide. He has contracts with huge companies like Google+. You know what that means… more money!!!

With all this success under his name, it is great to see that this christian faithful is still humble. I would take my hat off for you Juliani, if I had one.
