He became very popular in school with his performances during concerts.
He befriended other youngsters who had a rap crew called ‘The Red
Scouts” with members like Black Messenger, Black Moran and Tariq the
Rebel. With his neighbourhood pride and support of his crew he started
writing his own lyrics.
It was until he moved to Chicago in pursuit of the American Dream, where
his love for Hip Hop was rejuvenated. In a short period, the
self-proclaimed “Bilingual Beast” has gone from freestyling, recording
demos, performing in festivals, opening up for big acts like Ice Prince
and 2face Idibia and finally becoming a seasoned performer. He has
evolved from a young child in the streets of Dar es Salaam, to a lyrical
giant who sees nothing else than Work Ethic and Dedication as being the
keys to success. After years of commitment and dedication to his craft,
Wakazi is poised to become Tanzania’s leading Ambassador in Africa and
in the Music World.
His signature Blend of English and Swahili rhymes caused him to be
dubbed the “Bilingual Beast”, but his ability to tell a story and clever
use of wordplay and metaphors, seem to be his real Strength. His
ability to create context for the listeners is unparalleled, and he
credits that to his personal life experiences as well as his imaginative
part of the brain, which is sometimes more vivid than life itself.
This Sunday the fans of BBA will have the pleasure of checking this young Tanzanian showcase his talent on stage. We can’t wait.
