It is another Thursday, and as you are aware, it is time to present this week’s Throwback Thursday joint. Today, we will concentrate on the heavyweight MC himself, “Professor Jay.”
This video clip was filmed in Minnesota in 2010. Can anyone identify the song from which the verse that he is rapping originates? The first individual to provide the correct answer to this trivia question will receive an mp3 of the song.
Enjoy this rare moment featuring Joseph Haule, also known as Prof Jay, delivering a verse while entertaining and spending time with fellow Tanzanians and family residing in the Twin Cities.
Renowned Tanzanian hip hop artist and former Member of Parliament for the Mikumi constituency, Professor Jay, whose real name is Joseph Haule, makes a significant comeback with his new release, “Ebenezer.” This track features the Ugandan AfroBeat star, Jose Chameleone, born Joseph Mayanja, who is recognized for his unique voice and multilingual lyrics in Luganda, English, and Swahili.
Additionally, the song includes Tanzanian Bongo Flava legend “Q-Chief,” whose real name is Aboubakary Shaaban Katwila, also known as Q Chillah or Savimbi, who is celebrated for his emotive vocals and enduring influence on the East African music landscape. This remarkable collaboration fuses hip hop, AfroBeat, and Bongo Flava into a compelling anthem of appreciation and strength.

It’s Thursday again, and today we’re celebrating the 90’s Tanzanian Hip Hop group, The Hard Blasters Crew. The group originally had five members: Terry Msiagi (Luna T aka Fanani), William Shundi (Big Willie aka Crazy One), Ngida Raphael (KC1), Gabriel Kilunga (Tuff Jam), and Frank Korassa (Trigger F).
In 1994, they participated in the Yo Rap Bonanza Competition and came in second place. This success led them to release their first album, “Mambo Ya Mjini,” which featured popular songs like “Matapeli,” “Cheka nao,” “Mabishoo,” and “Ni Hard Blasters.” The album was a hit, prompting them to work on a second one in 1996. However, during the production, three members left the group to focus on school or pursue opportunities abroad, while others took over family businesses. Despite the challenges, they completed the album titled “Blast Nuff,” which included tracks like “Aje Naua,” “Kwenye Rap,” and “Blast Nuff.”
Their final album came after they added Joseph Haule, also known as Professor Jay, who was previously called Nigga J. This album, “Funga Kazi 2000,” featured popular songs such as “Chemsha Bongo,” “Mamsap,” and “Chuzi Limekubali.” To celebrate this throwback, I’m sharing one song from each album. Enjoy!
