Pachagazine: How did your parents react after deciding to Endeavor in to music as a duo?

Huslife: It wasn’t easy. But mum had to accept it, the love we gave music and progress we made day by day was convincing.

Pachagazine: How is your creative process like working as siblings?

Huslife: It’s all good since we live in the same roof. We stay up late night working on some projects. We have some pending project due to some financial issue but they will be out soon.

Pachagazine: Are you twins or you are aged differently? do you have other siblings on your family?

Huslife: We are not twins, Rapsick is 19 and am 18, and yes we are 3 siblings in our family, my eldest and most supporting sister in the whole world, she’s Gold to us and may God bless her. She’ s in the university of Nairobi pursuing Accounts and statistics in her culmination year.

Pachagazine: Which musical duo or group do you look up-to?

Huslife: The Sauti Sol absolutely.

Pachagazine: Which musician/s would you most likely want to collaborate with?

Our best four are, Khaligraph the OG, Mejja (Okwonko), Ssaru and Kristoff

Pachagazine: Which challenges are you facing as new bees in the industry?

Huslife: Discouragements “Quit music you ain’t going to make it,” “Is everyone an artist nowadays?”…. and social media hate is real.

Popularizing and music distribution by sharing links to people out here is hardest cause others say they’ve watched the video and at that time the video hasn’t even premiered yet, the so called ” manyokks“.

Pachagazine: What do you enjoy most about being a musician?

Huslife: We enjoy every bit of it because its our very own thing, we love music, and you got to express yourself in different ways since music is art.

Pachagazine: what do you think about the support of Kenyan music and the wave of gengetone?

Huslife: “Gengetone is dying” as people are saying, this is our own music and we should totally give it our all. But people aren’t doing that, in fact, crews who came up with gengetone are from The Ghetto and people who enjoying its fruits are in suburbs. we should change that and embrace our own type of homemade music.

Pachagazine: Which yard do you guys represent?

Huslife: 1938 Tala

Pachagazine: How do you make your music exceptional in relation to competition?

Huslife: We try to put human feelings in Gengetone instead of all this sexual tension.

Pachagazine: Con artist are quite common in Nairobi mostly targeting upcoming artist in the name of producers, managers, DJs etc. Have you come across any?

Huslife: We’ve come across many of them, there is this one time we were to be picked by an uber cub and have a free studio session (Laughs). That’s a story for another day.

Pachagazine: where do you project The Huslife to be in few years to come?

Huslife: Huslife will be major, not only as a reflection to ghetto youth but example to all youth.

Pachagazine: you just released a new song few day ago, what should we expect next of you?

Huslife: Expect more creative music from the Huslife, new collaboration. And if Okwonkwo will read this, man you need to do something to us.

We will give Kenya our best.

Pachagazine: How has the pandemic affected your career?

Huslife: Man, this was hectic, it got our plans out turned. Matter of fact we could have released the “shajipa” track long ago, due to this pandemic the movement outside our County was limited. For sure let’s not talk about this and how it messed us up.
