Why Kenyans Will Never Win a Continental Award!

Ladies and gentlemen, i dare say that Kenya will never win a single intercontintinental award show. It’s not for lack of merit or talent but merely due to the tyranny of numbers.

I want us to focus on the DJ Awards that have been launched and you can read more about that here. But with that said, when you tell Africans to vote, who will they vote for? It shan’t be DJ Joe Mfalme who obviously deserves to win, it will be for their own. And when Nigeria is in the arens, the end has already been scripted. Think not? Then what happened at CHOMVA? At the Channel O Music Video Awards Davido dominated the awards ceremony yet Camp Mulla was a huge force in Africa last year. They owned last year!

Don’t get me wrong, the rest of Africa has talented Vynil spin masters but Kenya has the best. I’ve been in Nigeria. All you hear is Naija. I don’t mind. Actually, i think Kenya should embrace more of the West. In South Africa all they play is Kwaito. But Kenyan DJs are versatile. They play anything and incorporate everything smoothly into their sets. From house to hip hop to Naija to Kwaito to 25Flow!

But sadly, when you ask the viewers to vote they will vote for their own so the best in Africa will not be recognised.
