Aleyfex was born in the coastal City of Tanga in Tanzania. He grew up in Dar es salaam Tanzanian largest city. Like most Tanzanians Hip hop exposure came in the early 90's when independent media was allowed in the country. He started writing and perfoming Swahili rap before he was ten years old. In the early 2000 him and another artist known as Q Chief a.k.a QChilla formed a group which did not last long and in 2002 Aleyfex moved to St Louis Missouri where he still resides.

Aleyfex stands out as one of the best lyricist of Bongo flava, his music is packed with conscious messages and talks about topics that no other Bongo Flava artist dare to touch, this has been a disadvantage to him since no Radio station will play his songs. His lyrics influence came from various artist mainly Bob Marley, DR Remmy Ongala whom he refers to as the O.G. of bongo music. As long as there is the internet we will hear those true, genuine, and strong lyrics from Aleyfex.
