Singer Nameless has paid tribute to the late Isah Mmari Wangui alias E-sir, as the world marks 19 years since his death.
Taking to his social media platforms, the father of two expressed his tribute to his late friend saying that he misses him.
“19 years since you left us, 16 March 2003…love and Miss you bro!! You still inspiring the new generation with your awesomeness! Fam, what’s your favourite E-sir Jam…mine was MossMoss, Leo ni Leo and of course Boomba…”
Early this year, Nameless with Kenyan artists released a tribute song to E-Sir dubbed ‘BandanaYaE-sir’.
The video of the song Bandana Ya E-Sir starred Wahu, Wyre, Jua Cali and Nyashinski. Rapper King Kaka is said to have designed the bandana used in the music video.

Speaking about the song, Nameless said the project is very close to his heart.
“We celebrate our brother E-Sir with a cross-generation of artists! Some Veterans made a cameo to show love for our fallen friend,” he said.
Habib, E-Sir’s brother, said what he misses most about his famous sibling is his hard-working nature.
“I was happy when I heard the idea to feature in ‘Bandana Ya E-Sir because I remember E-Sir telling me the reason he did music was so that he is remembered forever. So I was for the idea from the word go,” he said.
“I remember how he [E-Sir] was hard working. There is a time he would trek from home to where the studios were.”
