Tanzanian music couple Aika and Nahreel (Navy Kenzo) are set to release their second album, tomorrow (Friday. The album is titled 'Story of the African Mob'.

Their first album Above in a Minute (AIM).

In an exclusive interview with Ommy Dallah, the duo revealed more about their upcoming album and more.

1..You are among the few celebrity couples who have managed to be together for a very long time, what's the secret?

It's the Respect we have for each other, good communication and love wins too. With those fundamentals we have been able to weather the challenges and lean on each other to get where we are today.

2..Let's talk about your album, why the name 'Story of the African Mob'?

We are definitely a mob, a positive one though, As an African Family, we are here to tell the African story of our people. So we believe everyone has a story to tell. We also refer to our African people as the African Mob. 

We use this album to tell our story, the story of our African People.

3..To someone who has not yet sampled the album, how many songs are in it and why should one listen to the album?

There are 12 songs on the album. We do believe all the tracks are great, however, Only One ft King Promise, Beema & Jealously ft The Great Eddy are definitely ones to watch out for. You really, really don’t wanna miss out on those ones. Like they say save the best for last. You wanna stream that album once it goes live on the 4th.

4..Some of the songs in the album were initially intended for an EP project, why did you decide to just do a full album?

Corona happened!!! Much as corona has been a pain to many livelihoods across the globe, it gave enough time to concentrate in the studio. All of a sudden we had enough time to make more music and refine projects that were in progress.

So that meant we could accomplish more tracks and thus make it a full album.

5..Who are some of the artists that you have collaborated with in the album?

So we have had a number of collaborations on the album, namely Tiggs Da Author, King Promise, MzVee, Mugeez the Great Eddy and Genius.

6..Should we expect a colllabo between Navy Kenzo and a Kenyan artist soon?

We have always considered Kenya our second home,  we certainly hope to make a collaboration with one if not a number of Kenyan artists. We certainly do believe the Navy Mob in Kenya is looking forward to this happening sooner than later.

7..Some artists prefer releasing singles and not albums due to fear of how it will be received by fans and other factors. What would be your advice to such artists?

We certainly concur with you that as artists it does take hard work to produce an album. However, as artists we always have to remember  the fans love what we give them,they also hate waiting on the next release for too long. So with an album you as an artist give your fans a number of tracks they will be able to listen to and get attached to you as an artist as they play the tracks over and over.

8..This is a very challenging time for artists due to Coronavirus, as Navy Kenzo how are you coping with the current situation and making sure you still entertain your fans?

Well well, corona has brought a lot of reliability checks. We as artists have been greatly affected especially when it comes to music shows. 

However, by creating and releasing more content for streaming and continuing to learn how to make money out of music outside the traditional ways we have been accustomed to, we have managed to weather the storm for now at least.
