Kenyan rapper Khaligraph Jones has been making waves in the music industry with his chart-topping song 'Leave Me Alone', which he recently premiered on YouTube. The music video, directed by Trill Art, was shot on location in Houston and Texas, USA.

According to Khaligraph, the video was shot in Dallas and Houston, Texas, just a day before he returned to Kenya. This opportunity allowed him to shoot his other videos as well.

What's surprising is that Khaligraph spent less than Sh100,000 on the video shoot, a significant reduction from what he usually spends when shooting locally. He attributed this to the ease of shooting in the US, where he didn't have to pay for locations.

‘Leave Me Alone’ has already garnered over 715,000 views in just two weeks, a testament to Khaligraph's growing popularity.
