Malik Bertrand Ndayishimiye aka Bull Dog was born in Nyamirambo, Kigali. He did his primary school at Remera Catholic School and completed his senior six at the popular St.Andre secondary school in 2007. He is currently in his second year at the National University of Rwanda majoring in literature.

Bull Dog’s love for music started at an early age of thirteen, where he could listen to rap music especially from his two favourite musicians-Tupac and The Notorious BIG. It wasn’t long before he started composing his own music. When he reached seventeen years of age he released his debut hit single ‘umunsi w’imeruka’. 

He followed the success of his debut hit with ‘imfubyi’ in which he featured The Ben and thereafter collaborated with Diplomate to release ‘Umushonji uguye isari’. Both follow up songs enjoyed instant success more so for the latter.

In 2007, Bull Dog and five of his friends, Pfla, Jay Poly, Green P (The Ben’s brother) and Fireman, came together to form the most celebrated rap group in the country Tuff Gangz.

They have since released an album which is enjoying huge sales especially among the youth.

Bull Dog has so far released four singles of his own and plans on continuing to develop his music to regional level. He however says that despite his passionate love for music he will not compromise his studies. 

When he is not doing music or reading his books, Bull Dog hangs around with his friends or is indoors watching movies.

‘UMUSHONJI UGUYE ISARI’

VERSE1: Aho itegekonshinga ryatowe nta referendum
Dictature niyo style buri speech ya kibamba itembana umuru
Parti socialiste z’abanazi Hitler
Umukuru wayo mugitugu akaba chancellor
Irondamoko bakigishwa uruhindu
Ngo ni inyama igishye si ubwoko bw’Imana bazapfe urundi
Ko Imana irebera imbwa idahumbya itanga ishatse
Inynga ingoma rutari rudwa aratwika aratanga
Umungambanyi umugabekazi kanjogera
Na musaza we kabare abo bombi bari shitani nzima
Ishyari ni ishyano ryatumye gahini arakara
Kubw’umugisha abari murumunawe amurusha aramwambara
Se aramuvuma ati ni urakira uzapfe uri imbwa
Yibutse ishyari ryose rya ibilisi ryabawanye Eden.
Situation mbaya kaddafashwana na state
Ko afite petrole akaba adakorana na OTAN
Hugo Chavez mu kwanga abanyamerika urunuka
Yavuze ko atacuruza boro ziwe mu mirongo y’umwanzi
East west coast karachinikoff muri boot z’amakebo
Gahunda ntibwira umugenzi ishyari ryejuje bene Adamu amarimbi.

CHORUS: Diplomat;  wakwishyira ukizana ute?
   Ko abagome babaye urwango ijambo
   Njye ndi umushonji waguye isali (Damn)
   Inzangano z’urudaca
   Bifuriza umuntu gukenyuka
   Amatiku ubu ari no mumadini (Hell)

VERSE 2: Hitler ava ku myaka muri de Beerlin iba
  urukuta rwamaganya
  Truman akinyotewe azana capitalisme mu budage
  Leta z’unze ubumwe z’abasoviyeti zirongojwe
  imbere na Staline
  Gurre froide intambara y’ubugambo gusa
  Igihangange USA cyahabye cyapapye
  Kandi Einstein yarabahaye formula ya bombe
  atomique
  Haaa; nyir’ibyago imbwa ziramwonera
  Bagdad barayinjira ibisasu bashaka barabibura
  Game irahinduka plan A ihinduka B
  Petrole baravoma ubu ibirombe bya Irak birakama
  Ntacyiza cyabo iyo duteye imbere umutima
  wabo ugwa munda
  Baduha intwaro ngo tumarane baduhe akawunga
  Power munoti n’amadini barayakoresha
Batwijinjamo urwango gentleman kimaranzara
Old skul umwada ushaje bigizayo
Bazana crunk bayisafisha omo iracya
Baha akato rap ngo iyo ni style y’ibirara
Ibyo abarappeur bavuga ni ukuri ahubwo abobireba babyita amatiku
Mayibobo dot com tuff gang
Ibibazo by’ingufu umuntu arabivuga bamwita umushenzi
Roho zabo zamunzwe n’inzigo ntibanshukishe akamanyu k’umutsima
Njye ntinya Imana n’inzara gusa.

CHORUS:
VERSE 3: Miracle ikibeho abashaje barajya kubonekerwa
  Baratubonamo ibisambo ngo twonona version
  biblique
  Imitima ikanyaraye nk’amabuye y’i Gorogota
Umukirentanyurwa ararya imitsi y’umukene upfa
Ugatera ikwajyu umumotari wa bodaboda
Weli wako uzagire chance utazakena ngougwe down
Ambush kw ipinguaba ababluzz barazira injaga
Sruper arapima target ni king wa kayakoy
Niba atari urwango cyangwa amatiku yo mu miryango
Ni intumwa ya rubanda cyangwa se ni impyisi mu bantu
Aho ndi si kure y’amaso yanyu ahubwo mpanganye n’udukundi tw’abapede
Fight everyday abifite begera ameza tukegera ingorani
Ku magi ya pondeze probleme bariho si backs
Indaya mu mafauteil materiel imondializa igiswaku
Tuff gangz iraguha abazi rap game bakubaha
Ku mabwiriza nk’aya Hamas na decision nkiza Yasser Arafat
Moteri ni eau blanc no one gigabye nkabyutsa mind
Simplement debande marshall uzira bitugukwaha
Ngandukira Islam abanzi nzabahungira i Makka
Ku ndoro mbi z’abanaharamu igisigaye ni ukumera imvi mu maso
Hari abapromota indaya aho gushyira imishinga mu byahoze ari komine

Zizarye uwiza n’uwisizeuzwi TV scene.
