(FAZA NELLY FROM X PLASTAZ)
by Thomas Gesthuizen, April 5, 2006

In this short overview I will try to summarize some of the facts
surrounding the tragic and sudden death of Faza Nelly, one of Africa's hip
hop heroes and an icon in his local scene of Arusha, northern Tanzania.

On Monday 27 March, emcee Faza Nelly (Nelson Chrizostom Rutta) from
Arusha, Northern Tanzania was stabbed 9 times with a knife by his
neighbour. Two days later he died from the results of the stabbing as the knife had
severely damaged his lungs.

Kwetuentertainment sends its deepest condolences to X Plastaz's crew, family, friends and fans world wide. Nelly a.k.a Faza , one of Tanzania's finest emcee's will be missed by many. One Luv my brother. Balozi a.k.a Dola

Sad news from Tanzania where Faza Nelly, one of the founding members of Tanzanian rap group X Plastaz, passed away last night. Nelly had been admitted to hospital with wounds inflicted by a knife that a psychotic neighbour had used to attack him. Doctors had hope of curing him, but the damage to his lungs proved too severe.

Nelly's death has shocked his family, friends and the international music community who have expressed their grief in the condolence register at the X Plastaz website. He will be buried the coming weekend and his brother and group member Gsann will come over from the USA to attend the funeral.
