One of the leaders of the New school of Tanzania Hiphop Movement, a self proclaimed Teacher 'Maalim', Nash MC continues to dominate the streets of Dar-es-salaam with his lyrical lectures accompanied by the Tamaduni muzik Boombap Sound. Nash MC is one of a few independent Tanzania hiphop artists who mastered the art creating a street buzz by releasing a series of Mixtapes and independently distributing his work through out the country without the help of radio airplays.
His most recent work is an outstanding Swahili song called "Naandika" where he introspectively invites the listeners into his writing process and the motives behind his writings, without forgetting his role as 'Maalim' during the song Nash makes sure he drops Knowledge to the youth and emphasise the use of Kiswahili language on Tanzanian music, as he spits "Fikra sahihi huja kwa Lugha Asili" which means "A Pure Thought comes to you in your native language".
