"FOREIGN ARTISTS ARE NOT A BIG DEAL!" SAYS NGWAIR

Tanzanian Hip hop lyricist, known for his party verses, Albert Mangwea aka Ngwair,has said that the tendency of promoters to bring musicians from outside the country and paying them a fortune, does less to the development of the Industry but rather kills the morale of local musicians.

Ngwair argues that "What is the point of paying millions of money to the likes of Akon, Jay-Z and 50 Cent when that same amount, when distributed among our own MCees, would help them establish themselves not to mention put the crowd on fire a hundred times more considering the fact fans feel them more and can relate to their music than the outside entertainers? "

Ngwair drops his next album, NGE, next week. The album has been produced under Zizzou Entertainment and will have 15 tracks.

Ngwair told Word Is,that this is not an album you want to leave on the shelf.
