As a spoken word artist, Isabirye Godfrey Mitch Jr has grown quite the reputation for his witty and articulate use of local dialect for his poetry. Having just recently released his debut EP "Endha" (on which he featured artists like Kenneth Mugabi and Andereya Baguma) and with his first special dubbed "Mitchz Manifest" slated for 10th August, one could argue that Mitch is doing quite well for himself as a poet. In his episode, Mitch reflects on choosing poetry- or any arts- as a full-time career, his not-as-popular life as an environmental scientist and the correlation between befriending fans and giving free tickets (yes, that too😁).
