When Bulldog, born Malik Ndayishimiye gets on stage, the reaction from his fans is always exciting. They get griped and hooked until he performs his last song. Many say he is in his own class when it comes to Hip-hop.
When Bulldog, born Malik Ndayishimiye gets on stage, the reaction from his fans is always exciting. They get griped and hooked until he performs his last song. Many say he is in his own class when it comes to Hip-hop.The New Times’ Sarah Kwihangana had a chat with him on what he is up to lately and what he thinks of Hip-hop in Rwanda today. How would you rate Hip-hop in Rwanda today?The Hip-hop fan base in the country is getting bigger, you can see even the people enjoy and feel the music just like us the artistes. All I can tell the public is to keep supporting Rwandan music especially hip- hop.People love your music. How have you managed to keep up your game?Every time I check my face book and twitter accounts I find messages from my friends telling me that I have to work hard and challenge other rappers because they have nothing special that I cannot do. The only problem is balancing my music career and studies. But I am left with only four months to complete my studies.You are currently studying Literature, why did you opt for that course and more so go back to school despite your successful music career?You know rap is all about writing. In literature they teach us that every poem is a song but not every song is a poem. I chose this course because it will help me grow my music career.What else are you working on currently?I am taking care of my family and working on new songs and videos for my songs because that is what the public wants. So my focus is more on releasing more good audios and videos and very soon I will be launching my new song that I did with King James called Vision 2020Some time back you were planning on launching your album but you didn’t, what happened and when should we expect it?Well I had so many obstacles especially my studies; currently I spend much time on my studies than music. So I decided to first get done with books and later go deep in my music, so that is why I didn’t launch my first album as planned but I hope I will do so by mid this year. What message do you have for your fans especially now that you have been silent for some time?Bull dog is not gone. I am still strong in this game and I am still capable of doing too many good things for my fans. I love you all; just keep supporting me and Rwandan music.
