Now i want you again not to ask me why the guy isn't so active anymore on the scene because i can only have one answer for you:His music was ahead of his time.
Soul music doesnt have a rich history in Africa leave alone Kenya.
Focus on the smooth rendition of Swahili and English in the first stanza and the beautiful guitar in the background.
Tell me which Kenyan Male artist can do this right now given that this guy did this even before i didn't know what a computer and a blog were really.

| Didge: The Kenyan D'Angelo |
If you focus on the genre again which is soul where i will get into a fight with many Kenyans for not giving it the stats it deserves this guy is the Raheem Devaughn or D'Angelo of Kenya.
Now lets even talk about his personality when he worked for Easy Fm as the Love Doctor 'DI'...only ladies can testify...he can woo.This is what exactly he applies in his music and i have one thing for him...HE NEEDS TO COME BACK AGAIN.
A song that goes back to 1998 and still defies the gravity of music by standing afloat as one of the authnethic soul music of its time in Kenya gives you reason like a season to realize that Didge was one of the bases to a revolution that mirrors a reflection to the wave of pure entertainment,originality and excellence in our music production.
Because of the video I give him 3.5 stars for this.
Elijah Charles Kiage.
Let me add 0.5 stars to your, Mr. Kiage. That gives him 4.
