Today Kenyan came together on social media to remember South C’s finest music artiste, E-Sir, 12 years after his passing.

Issah Mmari will forever be remembered as one of our greatest hip hop artistes. Nameless, who worked with him back in the day, tweeted, “12 years since you left us. I miss you bro!! Your music lives!! Timeless!!”

The artiste passed away in a road accident on March 16th 2003 but his music, which he well expressed in Swahili, still captures Kenyans hearts.
