‘My stepdad chased me out at night with a knife, wanted to kill me –Rick Ross

Coast-based musician-cumhypemaster Mike John, popularly known as Hypemaster Kavalier alias ‘Rick Ross’, has landed a mega deal with Safaricom.
The energetic hypeman will be the MC at Safaricom’s TwawezaLive Mombasa edition this weekend.
The lad managed to beat several MCs during the recent auditions.
Hypemaster Kavalier says people confuse him with world superstar ‘Rick Ross’ because of their close resemblance, and he has now gotten used to it.
Although he didn’t meet with the Hustlin‘ hitmaker when he visited Nairobi, he said, Hypemaster Kavalier told us that he is still doing music and is releasing new songs soon.
He reminisced on his past life; the hardships he has been through and says he’s grateful to God.
‘Rick Ross’ later went to stay with his grandmother, and all was not rosy.
Many claim that MCs earn peanuts, but Mike refuted the claims, saying; “It depends with the client, though corporates pay well.” Just like any other occupation, John says he has faced a lot of problems.
He congratulates Sauti Sol, Nyashinski, Khaligraph, Susumila and Nyota Ndogo and Alemba for the good music.
‘Rick Ross’ is also calling on Governor Hassan Joho and his government to give upcoming artistes a chance to showcase their talent.
He says he hopes in the upcoming Mombasa cultural festival, which is held every August, he will see more new faces.
