Khaligraph Jones is an award-winning rapper from Kenya who has stood by his genre despite all the other musical trends making waves on the continent - and it has paid off.
“I don’t know what kind of a sound they thought I was fit for, but consistency is key and we kept on pushing until they finally accepted me,” he says.He says his development as an artist has been a gradual process. He began building his reputation by featuring on tracks by other artists such as Kristoff and Stella Mwangi.
In 2018 he released his first solo album entitled Testimony 1990, a reference to the year of his birth. That same year he won best rap act of the year at the Afrimma Awards, and in 2020 he won best hip hop artist.
