JAYZGIST- Waoh!!! What kind of music you doing?
EL-H: Afro Hip-hop
JAYZGIST: WHY do choose this kind of genre?
EL-H: Hip-hop itself is a culture which entails Rap music and a lot more...if you know me too well you would know am versatile, that I like experimenting with this and that...plus my identity should show in whatever I do, that's where the Afro part comes in making it Afro-Hip-Hop
JAYZGIST: In your opinion, what is the most difficult part of the process of delivering to your fans?
EL-H: wow...first of all the general perspective of fans giving a preference to 'danceable jams' has shaped most rappers to become singers. ..at such trying to do what it is that's not your style is quite an herculean task.....on the scale #Rapmusic I just try and beat my former self which could be hard and fun too...thanks to all of them.
JAYZGIST- Your stage name?
EL-H: EL-H
JAYZGIST: What led to the choice of this name?
EL-H: ermm....I've been a devil in Rapping from my younger days, so my eldest cousin then called me Larry Hoover....then I rebranded it to EL-H initials of Larry Hoover (L.H) with the E standing as an Exception from all others...EL-H sounds the same as L-H
