Have you ever had time to examine and judge between two things? Have you ever tried to choose what`s the best between two great things? Have you maybe tried to see the difference between some common thing and one rare thing? Well if you havent please find time and do so, you will see that one thing cant be better than the other just because its been there for a couple of years than the other but because it deserves to be better. Am saying this because lately i have had my time examining our own veteran musicians and these upcomings. From what i see, there are many upcoming musicians who are way much better than these other common dudes we know, that observation made me realise that talent is something given by God the creator Himself and not that we just find it at some place and pick it up.
Malawi has a bunch of both talented and whack musicians regardless of how famous they are. Talent beats any age, a 10year old boy can surely astonish you with a sensational skill than a 30year old man, thats how it goes. Talent is something you dont have to force, its something that has to drive you at its own pace. One of the guys who lets talent do its work than forcing matters is Uniq Mic, this guy is awesome.
Uniq believes in making a name on his own, he dont want someone later standing on top and shouting on top of their voices saying "i made that kid a star with a collabo". He believe that working with his fellow upcoming artists is way much better than with a celebrity. If it is a celebrity then it better be them asking him for a collabo just because he`s made an impression on them not him asking for a collabo for fame`s sake.
This skillfull young man has what it takes to be on top of the game, believe me. He is just way multi talented, he can jump on any track. Be it dancehall, reggae, hiphop or r&b you name it, give him a chorus he is going to do it and you wont believe he just did it. Give him a verse and you will be surprised by the way he can spit his game.
Uniq grew up feeding his ears with most of Eminem and Jay z`s tracks, that gave him alittle bit of a boost to bring his own heat to the game. Now he is doing it big and he feels its time for him to rise to his rightful place, a place where he belongs. You might be wondering what place he is talking about, but surely he belongs in the league of classic musicians, in the very best of M-Dubs finest deals. To him music is just one of the priorities that makes his life go smooth as he gets the chance to connect with a lot of people including those he`s worked with (Rayfane, Tsar Leo, Venom, Tidacase, Young LT, An-Ro, C-Triz, Selph Dfence,D-Rain,Donzo, Blessed B,Mic Mash and the late D-Train to mention just a few).
Commenting on the status of Malawian urban music, Uniq believes that its moving forward. He sees that there is some real golden talent hidden in the ghettos which only needs an extra ear and an extra eye to be recognised. There are a bunch of problems he can see in the urban music industry but the only problem that gives him a headache is that of everyone trying to be an artist when they dont have the talent. He thinks it would be nice if one accepts what they can manage rather than forcing themselves to fit in a place they dont belong.
"Everybody has a role to play, we have listeners, djs, promoters, record companies, fans etc..... if we all try to be artists then who will be there to listen to us? who will be there to sell the music? we need everybody doing their jobs, take critics for example... they make someone realise where there is need for improvement or so." said Uniq
"I believe this is my year, my time to rise thats why soon enough i will be releasing a mixtape. Im not yet sure if i have to dub it "The year of the Mic" or "The movement" as suggested by one of my fans and a very best friend of mine. But we will see the way forward, am gonna have to do this. Shout out to my man Rayfane and Venom these guys rock, they have helped me alot as i evolved and ofcourse my brother and mentor he is just the best i got " He added
We will update you more on his upcoming projects, and as of now he has just released a brand new tune titled forever ft Tidacase which can be downloaded here
