T.I, the king of trap music, has finally arrived in Kenya, bringing with him a show that promises to be unforgettable courtesy of Jameson. The rapper, accompanied by his wife Tiny, jetted into the country on December 6th, settling the hearts of many Kenyans who were worried about his delayed arrival.
Manz, who was supposed to perform today, had rumors circulating that he would be arriving today, which sounded shifty to many. However, T.I's arrival at 11 pm on December 6th put all rumors to rest as he went straight into a press conference.
During the press conference, Kiss100 had the opportunity to ask T.I a few questions about his love for Africa and what it means to be in Kenya. T.I expressed his admiration for the inspiring and enlightening sight of people holding different positions in society, a phenomenon that is not common in America.
T.I's evolution of the trap music genre has grown extensively, and he finds it flattering that it has come this far. The genre has spread all over the world, including Kenya, where many young people have made a living out of trap music.
When asked what qualifies a song as trap music, T.I clarified that the sound is not subject to opinion. He believes that as long as people have stories to tell that relate to stories of trap music, the genre will continue to evolve and have different installations.
Today, T.I is set to give Kenyans a show they will never forget courtesy of Jameson. See you there!
