Octopizzo has been in the music game for a couple of years and some stuff that he has been able to achieve whilst being the face of hip hop in Kenya for years is unprecedented and out of this world.

They say that; “it’s usually lonely at the top” but Octopizzo might beg to differ because he has had close friends and family close to him and Blinky Bill has been a part of that small Octopizzo circle for years and the Kibera rapper is very happy and grateful for that.

Blinky Bill who is an artiste, a record producer, and a DJ has been a true friend of Octopizzo for 11 years and Octopizzo made sure to let him know that he is celebrated for being a part of his life and he doesn’t take that true friendship for granted since that type of friendship is rare in this generation.

Octopizzo also told the entire world that Blinky Bill was the record producer who recorded his third and the last mixtape dubbed ‘The White Shadow’ before he went commercially full-blown to make a name for himself and to enjoy his success that he is currently savoring at the moment.
