Boomplay Awards Showcase: Khaligraph Jones

Kenyan rapper Khaligraph Jones has over the years built a name for himself as one of the most sought after entertainers in the country. Ever since he made his debut in the music industry, the OG has grown from strength to strength and is now among the top MCs in the continent.

His hard work has paid off in recent years with multiple awards now under his belt. He has won the Afrima, Afrimma and Soundcity music awards to cement his place among the very best in the region.

The rapper was on Wednesday, 8, September 2021 presented with two plaques from the Home of Music, Boomplay for hitting a number of streaming milestones.

He was awarded a plaque for surpassing the 10 million streams mark on the platform and another one for hitting over 1 million streams with his debut album 'Testimony 1990'.

The 17-track album that was released in 2018 has appearances from YCee, Mr. Eazi, Ria, KO, Esco, Rostam, Ray C and Fena Gitu.

The OG is currently working on his sophomore album and has promised nothing but the very best with the upcoming body of work.

Speaking after getting his plaques at his Blu Ink Studios, the OG said:

"This is basically because of the content I give. I believe my content surpasses time. It doesn't matter if you listen to my song in 2015 or in 2025, it will still sound the same and remain relevant hence the streams".

"The first album 'Testimony 1990' brought the plaque today and I was telling some of your people (Boomplay team) that before my album, nobody was putting out albums and even if they were, the reception was not as much as it was after Testimony 1990 came about"

"I would say that Testimony 1990 was a game changer and it's all because of the fans who appreciate that I am always out here working hard to ensure I give them good music".

Khaligraph's other songs on Boomplay doing great numbers are: Wavy ft. Sarkodie (over 850k streams), Tuma Kitu (over 600k streams), Yes Bana ft. Bien (over 700k streams) and Hao ft. Masauti (over 600k streams).

The rapper is currently running the place with his latest smash hit called 'Champez'. Speaking to Buzz, he said that this is his last project ahead of the release of his highly anticipated second studio album.
