User talk:SPAN 1 MUSIC DUO

Span One is a hip hop group made up of Drim(Melvin Owuor)and Johnny(John Otieno).They are named after political prisoners found in a story in a novel called encounters from Africa.The two met in Aga Khan High School where they were classmates for four years(2000-2003).Drim had already started rapping by then. Inspired by the likes of Das Efx,K.R.S. One,Guru,Nas,MosDef,Tupac and other great hip hop rappers,the two embarked on a journey of becoming the best rappers of their age in East And  Central Africa. Span One was officially formed after a freestyle battle between Johnny and Drim where they went toe to toe for about an hour.This was after the crowd were unable to decide who won the battle. After High School as fate would have it,they met again in the streets of South B Nairobi Kenya while running personal errands.Without the knowledge of either Drim or Johnny,this was to be the rebirth of Span One.After that fateful day,Span One built and perfected their rap and freestyle skills for 2 years in Nairobi’s Eastlands known to some as one of the most dangerous places in Africa. They have taken part in several freestyle battles in clubs in Nairobi where they have never lost.They have currently embarked on a project of coming up with the most creative HipHOP Album ever to come out of Africa.
