“Siku ya kwanza nilikuwa na mchecheto mwingi kwa sababu ya uoga. Kwanza, nilikuwa nimetoka chumba cha habari ambapo mnaandika tu taarifa, mnatia sauti na kusoma lakini hapa, ni mpangilio wa kipindi.” Mulama said.
“Wapo walionitusi, wapo waliosema huyu sasa ataweza nini na wengine wakasema hicho kipindi kinafaa kibadilishwe kiwe cha reggae ama watafute DJ kiwe cha mix kuanzia saa moja mpaka saa tano.” He added.
The former teacher also revealed that other social media users belittled him, commenting that he wasn’t close to the Nuru ya Lugha founder.

However, he navigated the murky waters by taking seriously Tom Jappani’s advice about creativity, being unique and new without copying Hassan.
“Kwa hivyo matusi niliyapuuzia na hayakunidhuru kwa sababu mimi ni mtu ambaye hupenda kucheka na kuchukulia mambo kwa wepesi mno hata mtu anitusi.” He shared; adding that Hassan also encouraged him to be calm and lead the show.
“Aliniambia Mulama kipindi hiki nimekiacha mikononi mwako kwa hivyo, jiamini. Aliniambia kabisa jiamini na kipindi kikiendelea, aliniambia katika safari yake akitembea, atakuwa akiridhika kwamba kipindi kinasonga vizuri kwa sababu ni kipindi ambacho katika historia hata iwe vipi, itajulikana na itaandikwa kwamba kilianzishwa na Hassan Mwana wa Ali.” Mulama explained.
