A Billion is a LOT of money but it keeps being thrown around in all these corruption scandals like it's nothing. 🙁.

Proud of the bro @GoldLink and his new project. Honored to produce 'Tiff's Freestyle' on there. A guy from Nairobi is on a project that features Tyler, Pusha-T and them. So stoked!

I prefer chilly Nairobi to that atrocious heat that has been the norm for the last few months.

You go to Joburg, Lagos, Accra it's very rare to hear Kenyan music and it's a big disservice to the artists doing the work here to not be at the forefront pushing the sounds.

Took a physical copy of my album to my mum yesterday, and even though she probably won't really get most of the music, her proud face and happy dance made my day.

Asked someone to connect me with Q-Tip today then the craziest thing happens, he shows up at the show I'm playing at and asks me to start one of the songs I was playing from the top. 😮.

There’s so much good Kenyan music that seeps through the cracks because it doesn’t fit into the pop programming mindset that is so pervasive and it bores me so much.

Sometimes I'll see such great music with such little views or streams and pray that the people that made it get their wins in this lifetime.

Systems that barely support artists but are constantly looking for ways to extract from artists.
You need public performance and special broadcast licences to livestream music. According to MCSK, the special broadcast licence is issued at a flat rate of Ksh.200,000 a year if you’re not making any money from using the musical content

First time I ever took a track to TV for airplay which was JAB's 'Iwinyo Piny' I was told will never work and dismissed appropriately. Few weeks later Channel O picked it up and gave it airplay.
