Q: So are you calling yourselves a group or is this just a promo album to get your names out there?
Well, we’ve been working together (me, Franciar, J.O.B and Flex) for a while now and I guess I can say we are a team but we do work on most stuff individually.
Q: It seems your songs are full of the latest slang, what do the terms ‘afyompebles’ and Muzompiki mean?
Lol, well Ma Fyompebles are things that can be Fyompad, hehehe and Umuzompiki is the love a guy has for his girl.
Q: And since Franciar’s hit single ‘Umutokofyompo’ came with this Kopala lingo, which I think you are familiar with can you tell me what Mutokofyompo and Mupandapwiti mean?
Lol, Mutokofyompo is the love a gal has for her man, and its kinda slipped my mind wat mupandapwiti is… hehehe.
Q: Well, lets let it pass for now,just wanted to clear the air. By the way, why the name Bobby East?
Well, Bobby comes from my name Robert and I have kinda always been called Bobby East from way back
