Being a young, upcoming artist in Kenya can seem like an extreme sport, especially if you're from an underprivileged background and
Dandora Hiphop city 'School of Rhyme' gets it. There are no clear paths to follow, coupled with:
- Limited sources of funding to tap into
- A lot of trial and error due to scarce information or resources available to artists
