Is Calif Records in Crisis?

A storm is brewing over Calif and it doesn’t seem to be abating.

 After a spectacular internal burst up between Jua Cali (the stable’s leading artist) and some of his colleagues, there are questions being raised about how Calif -which is owned and run by Clemo, have been handling their affairs.

Schadenfreude is a term that i would use to describe the fascination most of those running the rumour mills have but i for what it’s worth must report the facts.
And the biggest is the fact that for a while, Calif was the hit maker that every other label envied. They churned out hit after hit after hit and gave us the likes of Nonini and Jua Cali, Lady S and Rat-a-tat et al. Then We were rocked by the news that Nonini was leaving the studio that made him.
Opinion was divided on whether or not this was a good move or not but he has since gone from strength to strength vindicating his decision to quit the stable in the process.
Then Size 8 also quit the stable and she cited the need to grow her career and the fact that she felt a rapper she was partnered with wasn’t serious.
Calif Angels also left citing the need to grow their careers, and the list reads like a script which has now added the names Q-tasi, Kendi and Vanika.
Jua Cali went in H.A.M and fellow label mates TN and Saiz 2 have also come out in defence of Calif but from any estimation, something is wrong. Again, keep it Ghafla as we’ll have Q-tasi in our offices and he’ll shed some light from his perspective on just what he believes ails this great production house.
