Over a decade ago, Kenya lost one of it's brightest stars to date in the embodiment of Issah M'mari. The lad who was the lead act for the stable Ogopa was quite the artist! Long before anyone thought of Kiswahili sanifu as cool, he was rapping using it and so influential was he that soon everyone begun to change their perspective on the language.
Sadly, tragically, KENYA lost E-sir in an accident. However, the man who inspired an entire generation into taking music seriously would have been 33 had he lived to see today. So today i want to celebrate him. Happy Birthday Esir! Issah Mmari (May 20, 1981 - March 16, 2003).
Anyway, today E-Sir would be turning 33 years and one of his tightest friends and former stable-mate, Nameless, has shared special message to the legend on his birthday.
“Ahsante Baba kwa kunisaidia kujua,ukiotesha mazuri, mazuri utavuna, tangu siku yangu ya kuzaliwa.......Would have been your 33rd Birthday today. We will always celebrate you through your music. Happy Birthday #E_SIR. FOREVER YOUNG .
