Today, Kinley continues to nurture his passion for music and is an inspiration to the many young Bhutanese artists in the hip hop scene.
He shares, “never bothered myself competing with others I don’t care if people think this emcee is better than me or I’m better than him or her, my only competition is my current level. So my advise to aspiring emcees is stay original and practice! practice! practice! try to out best your current level. I’ve been rapping for more than 10 years and I still practice everyday.”
