The well-established Kenyan rapper believes the upcoming talents and any other, need to learn the ropes pretty fast, to avoid falling victims of poor pay by establishments like MCSK.<\/p>\n

Speaking to\u00a0Word Is <\/em>on Friday, Papa Jones articulated:<\/p>\n As far as getting paid goes, there have been talks. However, I haven\u2019t attended any meetings. It has even reached the President and they want to straighten this thing. Artistes should not fear to ask questions about their money. I have been in the industry for long and I know how the industry is.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Adding that it is their time as already well-established artistes, to ensure they build a platform firm enough for future generations to stand on and thrive.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B26bKbgBaoN\/<\/p>\n This he expressed, in reference to the on-going battle with the Music Copyright Society of Kenya that artistes believe is taking them for a joke.<\/p>\n There are so many artists coming up and the Kenyan industry has changed. I spoke on their behalf so that they don\u2019t go through what I have gone through. I raised this issue to get a solution. These artistes are depending on the music.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n However, he declares his support, not immediately but when the time comes.<\/p>\n When I see the reason for working with them, then I will. These kids are doing well on their own. Right now, everyone is jumping to what they are doing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Barely months after the MCSK ‘peanuts’ payments scandal, Khaligraph declares his support for fast-rising talents, especially the Gengetone artists.
