R.I.C.

His talent in stage performance was discovered from a young age, participating in various poetry exhibitions from as young as seven years old, when he first appeared on national television (KBC) reciting a poem titled “I Wonder”. He later grew to form the Achon Pong Clan with his neighbours Chizzen Brain and Njamba Men. Achon Pong Clan was the first Hip Hop/Rap Group from Magongo in Mombasa back in 1994. In 1996, they met with other rappers from Kwa Hola and Kisauni and formed Ukoo Flani. In 1999, they came together with the Mau Mau camp of Nairobi, which was formed by Kalamashaka and ended up with UkooFlani Mau Mau.

R.I.C. released his first album in 2007, titled “VICHEKO JELA BARIDI” ( Swahili for Laughter in the Prison Remands), and that was followed by a Mixtape in 2008 “MWANAKETREKETA VOL1” (Which is Swahili for Activism), and another in 2009 “MWANAKEREKETA VOL2”
