Upcoming Kenyan Rapper Gets Chance to Record at Outkast’s Studios

Upcoming Kenyan rapper, producer and music video director Sanjei got more than lucky when on a trip to check out recording studios in Atlanta, found himself meeting rap legend, Big Boi of Outkast.

Sanjei had traveled to Florida last week and decided to cross over to Atlanta to look up recording studios. Not only did he end up at Outkast’s Stankonia Studios, he found the rapper recording a follow up album to his 2010 Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty.

He spoke to Big Boi about his music and he was not only given a tour of the premises, but given a chance to record a demo. He was only in Atlanta for the day and so he was given two hours to put out a product. Sanjei opted to work a deal to put the tracks together in Nairobi and head back up to Atlanta to finish the recordings.

“The studio was on lock down for Big Boi who is working on his new album, but they availed to me one of their three studio rooms to complete my project when I am ready. So, when I return to Nairobi I am gathering all my top producers and we will get to work immediately. God willing, later this year if I get a chance to return to Atlanta, you know IT’S ON!!!!” said Sanjei.
