Sons of Symphony By Julie Erusa
They are planning on releasing an album in the near future; right now they are doing collabos and rhyming for pleasure. Crossova Most of you remember Crossova; this is the guy who battled Saint CA, Kampala’s hottest female rapper (No offense I still don’t know who beat the other). Anyway, Crossova’s real name is Kafko Anthony. He studied atJinja College where he was the Entertainment Prefect. At the moment, he is a student in Makerere University studying Mass Communication. About his music background, he started with dancehall or reggae in senior one around the age of fifteen and later in his senior four, he started rapping. This was basically because hip-hop had a good message and he could easily affiliate himself with rap. It also helps him to relax. Right now, Crossova is not doing studio recording and he is doing it for the love, not for the money. He writes rhymes based on life experiences. He is inspired by Talib Kweli, Black Thought and Nas. Given a chance, he could change people's perception towards hip-hop. Some think that it is an imported culture and it is involved with drugs and basically crime. Ten years from now he sees himself as the baddest MC.
His advice to other hip-hop musicians is never give up and to
never change their style. This is what Crossova had to say to all of you;
Mperio
He started listening to hip-hop when he was still a kid for pleasure. His writing is based on spreading his cause, (Imperialism as he called it) what you want too be, what you want to do, what you want to do to an MC and life on a small scale. Musicians like Cannibus inspire him because of his attitude. He also likes underground music. Given a chance he could change the fan base, radio and media system. Ten years from now he sees himself owning his own label. His view on hip-hop night, he says it’s a nice innovation, spreading the hip-hop culture and exposing the people. This is what Mperio has to say to you all;
