Eight being my favourite numbe, I wanted my eighth album to represent my culture and what I stand for. Kich ka Liech…direct translation ni Nyuki zinaua Elephants.So kuna ii idea ukiuliza mtotot between nyuki na elephant gani inaua ingine watasema ni elephant, so hii ni mentality tunakuanga nayo ati kitu yeyote kubwa inafaa tuiogope. So ni kuchange hiyo mentality that small people wakicome Pamoja wanataweza toa the elephant in the room. Kama sahi tunaweza sema Gen -z ni kich na Liech ni Gava so watu wadogo wanapiga watu wakubwa,”
