KAPA187: Who is Jay-Rox ? how did you come up with that name.

Jay Rox: Jay Rox is a double threat seeing as he is both a producer and rapper. He keeps his audience attentive with his clever punchlines and wordplay. I got my stage name from my real name which is Jackson, I got the jay and added Rox .

KAPA187: Describe your personality in 3 words.

Creative young man

KAPA187: Your new album,”Mvesesani” will be coming out next on 1^st September, how did you come up with the title and what can your fans expect from it .

Jay Rox: I got the album title from the tag line that I have been using on Zone Fam songs which means pay attention “Mvesesani”. I removed the “sekesani” cause of the different topics that I touched on the album that were way more serious and didn’t deserve the last part of the tag line. The fans should expect a piece of my life as I am going to be sharing my story with them.

KAPA187: Personally from the songs I have heard so far I think “zamcab” and the song you did with Mampi “roomie” are the best. What do you think is the best song on your upcoming album?

Jay Rox: That’s very difficult to answer considering I put in the same effort when producing all my songs. So all my song are like my babies and I can’t say this child is better than that one.

KAPA187: How will this project differ from the Zone fam album, what will make it special.

Jay Rox: It will be different in the sense that I am going to be sharing my mind, unfolding my story and the story of a people out there that would like to share their struggle but don’t have the means to.

KAPA187: Zone fam signed a record deal with Taurus Musik in Kenya, how did that come about and what does it means for zone fam.

KAPA187: The video for your song “roomie” has gotten great reviews, what was the concept of the song
and video ,who came up with it .
