Lal Daggy proves that music is truly a world within itself in a language we all understand. Being deaf does not lock him out of this world nor stop him from speaking the language. He easily connects with his audience with his face, hands, arms and body as he did with the performance of his single Story ya Machampions.

It was a show of a kind at the Sarakasi Dome during the monthly Hip-Hop Hook-Up concert. Without uttering a single word, Lal ‘speaks’ to his audience the best way he can. An audio is played in the background, an audio that is an interpretation of Lal’s sign language sang by genge artiste Nonini. Before the start of his performance, Lal’s manager Jared Getanda instructs him to start off signing when the music starts.
