V-BE is a music duo made up of Mshairi Spikes, a rapper with a great influence of poetry, and Tuku Kantu, a seasoned vocalist with an influence on pop and native East-African sounds. We choose to write about deep and different subjects with a global resonance; we write about life. Our music is founded on the experiences that we have lived and those that others have lived around us. Driven by the desire to educate, entertain, and inspire, our writing is an irrefutable expression of genuine emotion that hugs our listener and offers warm melodic comfort that is soothing. Coming from a harsh ghetto environment and with some of our peers never getting to see adulthood due to extreme poverty, insecurity, and joblessness, which leads many young people into crime, drugs, and inappropriate sexual behavior, we choose to be optimistic and see the world as an empty canvas. We choose inviting colors to paint reality, sparing no brush strokes. The element that is core to our creative excellence is the deep brotherhood we share. Having been friends for more than six years, we share a big-brother-little-brother bond that shows in some of our music. With truth, honesty, love, and a passion for excellence to guide us, V-BE gets closer to be a name you will forever remember a day at a time.
