Broken Knowledge aka Hyphen aka Young Kay is steadily making a name for himself on the Malawian music scene.
Young Kay was inspired by high school friends (1999) to start rapping and now having learnt form his peers Kenny Klips, Jinx and Dezert Eagle about the ins and outs of the Hip-Hop game, Young Kay has worked to make his style his own; his ability to mix Chichewa and English has made him one of the most captivating Mcs to ever hit Malawi.
A product of Rush Records His debut single Im Home Featuring Goodson Gomonda proved that he was a force to reckon with. Now working on his debut album Exhale-Breathe Out (17 Tracks featuring productions from Dezert Eagle and Dare Devils) which is a showcase of a personal journey bringing you into the world of a young man who in conscience about the world that surrounds him, his style never straying far from his roots and upbringing.
Exhale is one of the best Hip-Hop albums to ever come out of this small country proving that there is skill buried here. Broken Knowledge aka Hyphen aka Young Kay, be on the look for this guy because to underestimate him would be a mistakeBand/artist history
Rush Records was founded by Pempho Kafoteka (a.k.a Rissah), Kenny Wako (Klips) & Jinx a.k.a Muna in late 2004.
Rissah who hails from Blantyre-Malawi had actively been involved in the hip-hop movement within Malawi forming Southern Kaos, one of the most hiphop to emerge from Malawi. Southern Kaos released a couple of hot singles and recorded an album that was however never officially released. They however enjoyed massive airplay and gained popularity among the local underground scene. In the 2003 Rissah came to Uk for further studies resulting in the dispersal break up of Southern Kaos.
Jinx/Muna from Lilongwe, Malawi was the founding member of the Blind Vision, one of the most known acts ever to emerge from Lilongwe. Like Southern Kaos, Blind Vision was well known within the Malawi under ground circles after releasing a string of hot singles. They eventually released an album As the World Turns before disbanding, which was well received among the critics. Whilst in Uk, he eventually met with Risser.
The meeting of the two led to the formation of a good bond. Rissah had heard a lot about Jinx whilst still in Malawi and so had Jinx about Rissah and Southern Kaos. The two decided to join forces forming Public Image with Double j (JJ) and Young Cuz Piper (originally from Southern Kaos) releasing one of the most Malawian hiphop loved albums Malawi has ever witnessed; it was Image Effect. The Jinx/Muna produced album led to the formation of Muna Productions now run by Jinx in UK and remains the part of Rush Records that is responsible for the creative side through music production.
Kenny Klips is probably the most important Dj on Malawian soil. Kenny Klips appeared on the Malawi scene on FM101 Power instantly winning fans throughout the nation. He hosted the Hiphop drill along side Dr. Gwynz and made it his mission to promote the local Hiphop scene, which included both Rissah and Jinx through Southern Kaos and Blind Vision respectively. His willingness to help local rappers changed the entire scene and more rappers/producers eventually started coming out of their closets. To date, he is at Joy FM where he continues to promote and showcase local talent through The Tunnel dubbed Malawis best hiphop show. He has since released his own album in February 2007 and is responsible for the scouting of and exposure of talent for Rush Records.
In December 2004, Rissah returned to Malawi to establish Rush Records officially, teaming up with Kenny Klips who both Jinx and Rissah had been in constant contact with and released Image Effect, Rush Records first album. 2005 saw Rush Records Rush records/Muna Productions going heavy on the scales through the release of Jinx solo set Untitled which upon release changed the course of hiphop once again.
To date, Rush Records is the biggest hiphop label in Malawi with a string of releases under the belt.Have you performed in front of an audience?Play live alongside the Rush Records artists all all over Malawi
