It took 1200 songs for Kenyans to love me – Khaligraph Jones

Rapper Khaligraph Jones was recently named among the best rappers in 2018 in Africa by a South African magazine. The rapper dominated the whole 2018 and also was on a high wave through out 2018.

But before this happened, he had to work hard and put everything a side so that he can become what he is today. Speaking in a radio interview with Jeff Koinange and Professor Hamo, the rapper said he recorded over 1200 songs before Kenyans finally accepted him.

He was in studio day in day out making songs until the radio couldn’t ignore him anymore. Khali said that nothing comes overnight and it takes a lot of commitment, persistence and passion to finally get to the level he is at today.

Takes time

“Most people think I just blew up after releasing Yego. I chucked over 1200 songs by the time I was blowing up. I was in the studio everyday recording music so it is not an overnight thing. It is a gradual process,” Khali said. 

His statements come at a time when Kenyan artists are complaining over lack of airplay on radio stations and have been pressuring presenters and DJs to change their playlist.
