It’s a given by now that Kenyan hip hop scene has been owned by Khaligraph Jones and his elder brother, Lamaz Span K.O.B who influenced him to be a rapper to begin with.
Lamaz Span K.O.B is usually Khaligraph Jones’ hypeman whenever the O.G is performing, it’s safe to say that without Lamaz Span on the stage, Baba Yao is not performing.
Khaligraph Jones is currently dominating with hits after hits after another and clearly, the talent rans deep in their blood, to be more specific, rap runs deep in Khaligraph Jones’ family and they are owning the rap industry, as individual rap artistes and also as a duo.
The way Khaligraph Jones and Lamaz Span K.O.B has been releasing hits together, we won’t be surprised if they decide to release a collaborative project together, matter of fact, the fans would love it.
On their new collaborative hit record dubbed ‘Me Siogopi’ which translates to ‘I am not scared’, both talented and established rappers makes statements in the rap scene and they own it in every aspect you can think of.
Khaligraph Jones was keen to remind people that he doesn’t care about their opinion in regard to them pointing fingers at him because he usually raps fluently in English than in Sheng(Swahili and English-based cant, perhaps a mixed language or creole, originating among the urban underclass of Nairobi) and/or Swahili.
Here’s Khaligraph Jones’ verse where he makes a statement about being the number one rapper in Kenya without any competition whatsover
…
before nianze rap hapa Kenya kulikuwa na shortage ya skill
hakukuwa na talent, akina Pinye walimurder industry wakafanya ikuwe barren
akasema nisiroge na ngoso
ati sababu sijatoka Karen
but fxck you nxgga
guess saa hii nani anapiga mavideo na kina Clarence
HBR nangoja mnipigie simu mniambie pole
hiyo top 15 mlitoa
inaonyesha vizuri hamkufika hata college
juu ka si Khali ndio namba one
inaonyesha vile mume dharau jina
…
Khaligraph Jones and Lamaz Span K.O.B went in on this record so hard that you have to give massive shout outs to them even if you are a hater of Khaligraph and Lamaz Span.
Quotable verses by Lamaz Span K.O.B
Mapesa najua kutafuta sana na mi si okoti
Ma kesi si pia na tatua sana na mi sio koti
Na kale ka mbwenya kangu ka seco si na miss hio Koti
…
oya gadhe! hii si lingala
me sio Koffi
na ukini halla nipate Java
na miss hiyo coffee
cheki vile me humaliza ngori
na me sio Koffi
na ukijaribu kuleta nyoko nyoko
hapa ni makofi
tabia za upuzi zinaweza fanya useme haukoki
lakini wacha ninyamaze gadhe
nibaki kwa topic
hii ngoma nimefanya na Omollo na me si wachochi
(Omollo mgani)
Omollo mmoja ule alishinda trophy
Quotable lyrics by Khaligraph Jones
nishawachanua me siogopi
me ni kurutu joh
me siyo softy

then me ndio bossy

then me ndio hosi
hii ni beef joh

au sio Motif
K.O.B joh leta hiyo coffin
rest in peace joh
me siogopi
ma nigga mnachoma
kazi ni copy paste hawa ma youngin’
ndio pia nyi mtrend
mbona usikubali umechapa
ni kama mnasaka career zenyu zimeend
nazoza kwa mneti
na show ninapiga
na zinafanyika ka kila weekend
na ngoma mkitoa the only platform mnapata ni Citizen 10 over 10
mimi pekee ndio siwezi potea
ju kitu nafanya ni ngumu kusample
hardcore rapper lakini ikibidi namurder pia beats za dancehall
