Khaligraph Jones’s song gets played on ‘Sway in the Morning’ show by Sway Calloway at Shade 45 radio station

Khaligraph Jones has achieved yet another feat in his lucrative career after winning other feats, now the accolades seem to only be pilling up one after the other.

All these rewards of course thanks to the hard work he’s been putting in the music and of course his consistency and relevance throughout the years.

Khaligraph Jones becomes the second Kenyan artiste to get played at Sway Calloway’s show at Shade 45 radio station after Blinky Bill went there and played his DJ mix that he’d compiled.

Blinky Bill was hosted in the show three years ago, in 2018.

At the beginning of the year, Khaligraph Jones linked up with Ghanaian and arguably the best rapper from Africa, Sarkodie on a timeless record dubbed ‘Wavy’ that instantly became an African rap classic record.

The ‘Wavy’ song not only got big in Kenya, and Ghana, it was and probably still is big across the globe after it got cosigns from different parts of the world.

After Khaligraph Jones released the ‘Wavy’ hit song together with Sarkodie, there’s nobody –who knows how to operate a phone and/or a laptop that has internet on it– out there who can say he doesn’t know who the OG really is.

If there was ever a song that broke out Khaligraph Jones to the international and regional market in the global hip hop realm, it’s most certainly his ‘Wavy’ record that goes hard every time you stream it. It sounds fresh each and every time you listen to it.

Just like the song got played across the globe, and in Africa, Sway Calloway’s Shade 45 radio station caught wind of it and loved it so much they played it.

This means that Khaligraph Jones is gradually surpassing his East African/African plateau and exponentially making his way to the top of the food chain, globally when we are talking about hip hop.

Khaligraph Jones has lately become a rapper of many things in the hip-hop game today. He’s the first Kenyan rapper to win an AFRIMA Awards, AFRIMMA Awards, and Soundcity MVP Awards, he’s actually the first rapper in East, West, and Central Africa to have won all three awards.

Now he’s the very first rapper from East and Central Africa to ever get played at Sway Calloway’s hit show ‘Sway in the Morning’ at Shade 45 radio station.

Clearly, Khaligraph Jones is putting Kenyan hip hop to the global hip hop map just as he had promised he would a couple of months ago.

Just as the Kayole born and bred rapper said after accepting his win at the Soundcity MVP Awards in Lagos, Nigeria; “the East has something to say,” indeed the East(African countries from the eastern part of Africa) has something to say.

Getting played at Sway Calloway’s hit show ‘Sway in the Morning’ isn’t an easy feat to achieve.

There’s probably a probable chance that Khaligraph Jones might be called over by Sway Calloway to go on his famous show that has seen Cassper Nyovest, Mr Eazi, Nasty C, Kwesta, AKA, and Stogie T represent Africa in an unprecedented fashion.

I am a Pan-Afrikanist to the core and love to let the world know what they are missing in Africa. I might do that through music and some interesting posts from time to time so please bare with me.

I will always be real though, that's a guarantee.
