“Yeye alikuwa anaogelea maji yakamshinda, wimbi likampiga. Kidogo akawa chini akapambana pambana ikashindikana hata watu wakamsaidia ikashindikana. Akapotea ndani ya siku tatu, mwili wake ukapatika jana (juzi). Shrekeezy ni Mkenya baba yake amekuja jana (juzi) ndio tupo naye kuutambua mwili,” alisema Nahreel.
“Shrekeezy alikuwa mshkaji wetu wa karibu sana halafu vilevile ni mtu ambaye amesupport mambo mengi sana wakati tunaanza,” aliongeza Nahreel.
“Toka tunatokea Pah One, tumeimba naye. Naweza kusema wakati tunataka kuupeleka muziki wetu mbali zaidi yeye ndo alikuwa wa kutushauri kuwa game la international liko hivi na hivi. Siwezi kuongea vingi zaidi labda yeye mwenyewe angekuwepo angesema mengi zaidi kuhusu muziki wetu.”
