The Churchill Mandela Effect – A Resurrector of Careers, Scar Mkadinali

In those few words, Scar Mkadinali is a force to be reckoned with, musically and businesswise. I doubt there is a single artist in Kenya who has been more involved in more tracks than Scar Mkadinali in the last 5 years, inclusive of features.
