On Friday, June 5, 2020, Khaligraph Jones treated fans to a thrilling virtual concert on Trace Live's Facebook and YouTube channels.
Backed by a live band and DJ ZJ Heno, the Kenyan rapper took his fans on a musical journey through his hits, including 'Ngori', 'Leave Me Alone', 'Yego', 'Yes Bana', and 'Mazishi', among others.
"Being an artiste with influence, I choose to celebrate our athletes through my music. I decided to do something for my brother (javelin thrower Julius) Yego, and thus the track dedicated to him and the rest of the Kenyan athletes," Khaligraph explained as he introduced the track.
During the concert, Khaligraph paid tribute to the late Kantai, saying "rappers like Kantai paved the way for guys like us to make it in this industry. He was like a mentor to me, and may his soul rest in peace" before performing their song 'Ting Badi Malo.'
The two-hour show amassed over 10,000 views, with fans praising Khaligraph's performance on social media.
