Classic FM presenter Maina Kageni, who is close to Diamond Platnumz, confirmed Harmonize is leaving Wasafi record label to start his own label Konde Gang.
“He [Harmonize] is in the process of leaving Wasafi and setting up his own record label called Konde Gang,” said Maina Kageni on Classic FM.
Harmonize was the first artiste to be signed under the WCB management by Diamond. Now another Wasafi artiste Lala Lava is following in Harmonize’s footsteps to open his record label.
Lava Lava opened up about his record label Bite Gang while speaking to Lemutuz Online TV on the sidelines of Wasafi Festival which was held in Moshi on August 18th 2019.
Lava Lava said the main reason why he is starting his label was to help other upcoming artistes make it big like him. He noted that his decision to start his own label doesn’t mean that he was fallen out with Diamond.
The Bongo singer explained that Wasafi was working in a similar way like Young Money and Cash Money record labels which were founded by Lil Wayne and Birdman respectively.
“Bite Gang ni team yangu, ni kura yangu ni kama vile sasa na mimi naanzisha serikali yangu. Kwa sababu tunaweza kuona makundi tofauti tofauti nje ya nchi, kuna Cash Money and Young Money… Kama vile wakina Lil Wayne wametengeneza, wakina Drake na Nicki Minaj then wana watu wanawasaidia vitu kama hizo. Lengo na dhumuni ya kuwa na Bite Gang ni kuwapa riziki watu wengine pia, you know mtaani kuna maDJs, kuna watu wengi wana vipaji producers na vitu kama hizo. Lazima uwe na kitu pia unaanzisha kama riziki ndogo umepata uwape na wengine. That’s it,” said Lava Lava.
