Published on November 6, 2019, Khaligraph Jones' remarkable journey in the music industry is a testament to his dedication and passion for hip-hop.
Starting from the bottom, Khaligraph Jones would often walk from Kayole to Upperhill to perform for free, driven by his love for the art form.
His early days were marked by rejection, as he recalled being booed off stage in 2012 for not rapping like many believed a Kenyan should.
However, Khaligraph Jones persevered, and his hard work eventually paid off. He shared a poignant memory of that night on his Instagram, stating, 'This is around 2012, The Night I was Booed off stage cause The crowd didn’t believe that a Kenyan Rapper could rap so Good, They thought I was performing Eminem and Jay-z Songs smh, The OG shall be respected.'
