Ali Baba Cham who goes with his sobriquet Killa Ace (Bondehyee), a hip hop icon contributing immensely his quotas towards the development of the country and the world at large through quality message accompanied by his lyrics and rhyme by uniting people, breaking barriers and make people dance.

In a Chik chat with Sunurew, regarding his debut single “Bring back our girls” , here is his discussion with Sunurew’s Fatou John (Hotmata).
Sunurew: You Killa how you doing?
Killa Ace: Am fine mein Motmata
Sunurew: Ok, can you tell us more regarding your single played in the BBC?
Killa Ace: Yeah of course, the single called “Bring back our girls, is all over the place right about now in the internet, all over the radio stations had this massive boost, massive heap, thank God, They played it in the BBC two days in a row and has been played in the Radio Canada as well.
Sunurew: Has BBC interviewed you regarding your ambition in this track?
Killa Ace: Very soon and will let people people know?
Sunurew: And how will people know about it, because they will love to listen to it?
Killa Ace: yeah, whenever they day is said to me, I will make sure that I inform everybody about because I have a perfect network and that’s my facebook page which has almost 10, 000 followers, Cyper network, Ace page and I have a very good relationship with the media and most of the top medias including Sunurew, Taranga Fm and you name them.
Sunurew: You are not the first Gambian artist to be played at the BBC, how do you feel?
Killa Ace: Am the first Gambian artist whose track is been played and everybody heard it because of the prime time Focus on Africa 5pm, so we all know what a prime time is in broadcasting ( a time that almost everybody listen) and it was less than 24 hours when it was released
Sunurew: Were you surprised when you heard the song on the BBC?
Killa Ace: I was never surprise because the sky is the limit and nothing is impossible, I should be on the BBC, MTV, and BET and even have my own channel or broadcasting Network. So as an individual artist, I believe that as much as there is life, there are possibilities.
Sunurew: Are you hoping for a clip ?
Killa Ace: yeah yeah, am on it and will be soon in days time and everybody is invited.
Sunurew: What really motivated you to sing that song at this time and also be the first in the world at large?
Killa Ace: As an artist or if you know Killa Ace and see my lyrics, am not only an artist who only sing for people to dance but to educate, create a change in the society or issues affecting me or people feel as they do. So if you also listen to my album ACE track 1 to 19, they are songs which tell of social issues, consequence of the world we live. Looking at the current situation amd as a Muslim I think I have to defend my religion in being destroy by people who claimed to be Muslim but actually killing or terrorizing people in the name of Islam. Looking at where I come from I have a wife and I have a daughter and see that these girls being kidnapped without no legitimate reason especially BOKO HARAM’s reason that the girls are learning western education and are against Islam which is not true. So you see them wearing or using things made by the west like uniforms, AK47, YouTube, so I don’t believe that these are enough excuses. I have an obligation as an artist to cry for them. My fan base constitute lots of girls too. click and have a taste www.https://soundcloud.com/killaace
Sunurew: So thanks and anything else Killa Ace?
Killa Ace: just wanna tell you that, facebook notified me that the song has a lot of shared than any other post since its formation, I would also like to thank all media house in the Gambia and abroad especially Taranga Fm for playing it almost all day long.
Sunurew: so what do you have for you fans?
Killa Ace: first of all, I would like to advise everybody to support this because at the end of the day it’s all ours, one world and the world is a global village. Secondly as a hip hop artist I have a lot to share and that goes to all my fellow genre artists to do the same and support this noble thing. Hip hop is one of the only way to generate international audiences and change so we go.
Sunurew: Thank you very much Killa Ace for your time..
Killa Ace: thanks too for the job and my fans too because I cannot say how much to say thanks for the shares and likes, taking about it, so for the fans am behind them.
