Nameless initiated a petition to Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, requesting that the Nairobi County Council (NCC) and the Office of the Ombudsman name a street in South C in "E- Sir's" honor as a way of celebrating artistic talent and honoring his memory.

“E-Sir’s legacy continues to inspire generations after his passing with his talent, hard work, passion, and humility. The naming of a road after him will celebrate these great values and recognize the importance of the arts in our culture," Nameless stated.

The petition has received over 500 signatures out of a total of 1000.

E-good sir's friend Nameless worked with him to produce one of the country's most recognizable songs, 'Boomba Train.' Nameless recalls E-Sir rescuing him from the jaws of death.

During an interview at the launch of the 'Pride of Kenya,' nameless revealed that before the accident, E-Sir told him to switch seats.

"My brother E-Sir, I always feel like I have a bro. The story behind his death is he moved me from the two seats, where I would have died. He was the one who moved me without even knowing he was telling me, 'No, let's sit here.' I always feel like I have an obligation and a purpose to keep telling and I always ask myself why did God do that," Nameless revealed.

E-sir had already made a significant impact on the Kenyan music industry at the age of 21, leaving behind hit songs such as 'Moss moss,' 'Hamnitishi,' and 'Boomba train,' among others.

E-Sir is remembered today for changing the game in Kenya's music scene. Long after his death, he is still regarded as one of the best rappers to emerge from Kenya's hip-hop scene.
