1 min read

Octopizzo has earned his stripes in the music scene over the years paving the way for other rappers before him to become as great as he is in the music industry.

Arguably, Octopizzo helped shape not only the hip hop scene in Kenya but the entire music scene in Kenya as we know it, he helped commercialize the Kenyan music scene which means that a lot of your favorite musicians are actually getting paid thanks to Papi Chulo.

Being known as a person of many firsts in the entertainment and music industry, the Harvard University graduate is celebrating yet another milestone in his music career.

Octopizzo who also doubles as a human activist and philanthropist have over 1 million cumulative lifetime streams on Apple Music digital streaming portal.

This isn’t a small feat for any rapper in Kenya as we know it because amassing streams for Kenyan rappers on Apple Music isn’t an easy feat to achieve but Octopizzo is proving that anything is possible and the numbers don’t lie.

Octopizzo is always setting precedence in a lot of things that other people wouldn’t be able to achieve and/or follow through without following his footprints.

The Kibera-representing rapper is among the top upper echelon rappers who have helped shape the Kenyan hip hop scene by taking it outside our borders.

Other rappers and artistes haven’t shared their lifetime Apple Music streaming numbers on social media, at least not yet.

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.
