Jaguar featured Iyanya in his ‘One centimeter' remix

During the recently concluded Bingwa Awards, top Kenyan musician Jaguar accused his Nigerian collaborator Iyanya of frustrating him.

While addressing the crowd, Jaguar claimed that Iyanya made endless demands during the video shoot for their One Centimetre remix.

He allegedly demanded that the video be shot in Nigeria or England either by Clarence Peters or Moe Musa.

Iyanya however refuted these allegations claiming that Jaguar was very lazy and did not make any effort toward promoting the song while in Nigeria.

"I told Jaguar to go out and introduce himself to the media, the same way I told Diamond and Sauti Sol, but he didn't. I don't know if he was expecting me to do his job for him," a rather charged Iyanya said during an exclusive interview with Radio Maisha's Tina Koroso.

"He was just lounging around for over ten days. He did not even make any effort, not even a newspaper interview," he said adding that his collabo with Sauti Sol was doing very well at top ten in the Nigerian charts.

When Heads Up called Jaguar to update him on Iyanya's response he said: "Iyanya was very mean to mean. Anyway, Nigeria is not Hollywood!"

MY TAKE
Nigeria are starting to see the real personalities in our Northern Neighbors! That's Jaguar supposed to be the toppest artist in Kenya, trying to sleep on a chance to break into fame like Diamond!

One song a year; are Kenyan artistes lazy?

The demand for Kenyan music is immense but there seems to not be enough songs to supply to the eager fans. Just why don't our artistes release ‘enough' songs?

In Summary

• In Kenya, the biggest name in music at the moment, Sauti Sol, released two songs, the controversial "Nishike" and the still high flying "Sura Yako".
• With so much talent to go around in Kenya, it begs the question, why the dismal release of songs per year in the country?
• Veteran artiste Nonini and founder of the group P-Unit attributes this to the lackluster support from journalists and the media fraternity.

It is 2015 and by many standards the Kenyan music industry has sprouted, grown even, from a struggling to a lucrative one that now boasts of numerous genres and multi-award winning artistes and musicians that perhaps make a living out of it.

Artistes have risen in numbers, and so has the variety, the number of radio stations has grown as well to accommodate the content, but it is just not enough.

Radio stations, it seems, cannot thrive on Kenyan music alone and have to bring in Tanzanian and Nigerian music to fill the gap.

But here we are today with over 100 radio stations and musicians are still complaining that their songs do not receive enough airplay, if at all any.

Radio stations especially the urban ones have segregated themselves each playing their audience's favourite music from rock, reggae, R-n-B and contemporary music. But somehow, there is not enough space for Kenyan music.

Truth be told, there is demand for fresh Kenyan music but the supply chain is grossly inadequate.
Compared to other African countries, the number of songs released by Kenyan artistes is unbelievably wanting. Just last year, Diamond Platnumz released seven songs; "Muziki Gani", "Ntampata Wapi", "Mdogo Mdogo", "Ukimwona" and the collaborations "Kipi Sijaskia" with Professor Jay, "Number One (Remix)" with Davido and "Prokoto" with Victoria Kimani and Ommy Dimpoz.

In Kenya, the biggest name in music at the moment, Sauti Sol, released two songs, the controversial "Nishike" and the still high flying "Sura Yako".

With so much talent to go around in Kenya, it begs the question, why the dismal release of songs per year in the country?

The biggest challenge facing musicians

Veteran artiste Nonini and founder of the group P-Unit attributes this to the lackluster support from journalists and the media fraternity.

He says the constant negative reports and stories combined with trash talking from journalists in no way provides a conducive environment for musicians to share their music.

"The number one thing that we as musicians need first and foremost is support from the media.

When someone Googles you and all he reads is negative stuff he will not want to work with you. It is a collective thing and no one institution can be blamed for the lack of airplay.

Journalists must support us, radio heads must do their part by putting up more Kenyan content and DJ's should play our songs," says Nonini.

Nonini says the rate at which songs are released in Kenya depends on the market.

He argues that the Kenyan market is totally different from the foreign ones and that one Kenyan song can sustain it for three months.

"Apart from the fact that other countries do not have space for foreign music like we do, the population of a country like Nigeria demands that an artiste release like six or seven songs in a year.

Plus Nigerians and Tanzanians really love their own artistes, it is hard to compete with that when you don't get support from your own country," he says, adding that it is hard for most Kenyan artistes to survive on music alone.

The biggest challenge facing musicians, and which hinders them from releasing more music is not laziness, it is the informal setting of the industry, says music producer Robert "RKay" Kamanzi.

For artistes who are not making money, it is a challenge that will run them into millions of shillings since the standards and cost of releasing a single and making a video are high.

"Radio is following television, for a song to make it people have to see it; so for every single released an artiste has to follow it up with a video which is expensive. But Kenyan artistes are really trying with the few resources they have," he says.

"The DJ's are doing their jobs"

Record labels are essentially required to foot the cost of an artiste's song and video so that he can solely focus on his music, but sadly it is not the case in Kenya.

"Funding is needed not only for releasing the single and video but for promotion of the song as well.

Nigerian artistes can afford to do videos worth $30,000 (Sh2.7 million), get flights to South Africa or abroad to promote their music because someone is paying for all of it. So how are Kenyan artistes going to compete with that?"

However, RKAY says it is not all gloom because the gap between Kenya and other countries is not as huge. According to him, Kenyans still have room to catch up and as far as talent goes, Kenya is covered. He also dismisses the idea that DJs give very little airplay to Kenyan songs.

"The DJ's are doing their jobs, they are playing what fans are demanding, which is what they are watching not only on YouTube but on TV as well. The theory that DJs give less airplay to Kenyan music does not hold water," says RKAY.

Last year, including collaborations, Nigerian star WizKid released nine songs, Davido had eight while Banky W had 11.

Back home, Jaguar only had "One Centimeter" and "Kioo" while Nameless released "Butterfly", "Ng'ang'ana" and "African Beauty".

Davido has so far, this year alone, released about five songs including collaborations: "Say dem Say", "Twerk", "The Sound", "Coco Butter" and "Twatoba".

These artistes seem to be outdoing our local talent by a mile and it could explain why you are more likely to hear four Wizkid songs in a nightout and only one Nameless track.

But Colonel Mustafa says that is not to say that the Kenyans are sitting idle, arguing that artistes are in studios working but fans only get to hear a few of their songs.

"The cost of releasing singles and videos is too high and the returns to artistes too little to make any profit hence the difficulty of releasing six or seven singles and videos in one year. You can't do that if what you're making per show is Sh500,000 only," he says.

He reveals that artistes record close to six songs but only choose two of the best to release because there is no airplay in the market for six songs.

Although the rate at which songs are released in Kenya seems too slow, rappers Rabbit and Octopizzo are proving that they can at least supply the hip hop market with content all year long.

Last year, Rabbit released "Leta", "Kichinjio", "Kafiri", "Twende", "Nishazoea", Uko Tu Sawa" and 'Bado Nakupenda". Octopizzo on the other hand had "Salute me", "Something For you", "Paper Chasing", "Black Star" and "Hala".

All said, and in the era of social media where one can hit without radio and TV play, the lamentations by Kenyan artistes about lack of media support stand on shaky grounds.

Radio presenters and DJs always say they do not get enough local music to play the whole night while it is easy to play a two hour set of Davido or Wizkid.

MY TAKE

Mi naona wanamziki wa Kenya si talented wanakosa mistari take an example kuna artist anaitwa Rabbit huwa nashindwa kuelewa anafanya nini kwenye game maana naweza imba zaidi yake! Media houses play what sells period and if they think journalists suppress them they should learn from the likes of Diamond that each day is written about negatively! BTW mziki mmoja a year is more than laziness may be MK254 and sam999 can help us explaining what name should we call Kenyan artists

So that same guy claims to have a successful venture with Sautisol who happens to be Kenyans too and you go out claiming whole of Nigerians have discovered about Kenyans, just because he fell out with an individual. Man grow up, no wonder Richie thinks of your artistes as the laziest lot.

A ‘Mzungu' blogger who has been frequenting Kenya for the past 10 years has penned a very hard hitting blog article about this great nation.
He talks about how he has seen Kenya fail to progress over the years. He adds that this is mainly because Kenyans are the laziest people in East Africa. In the blog, Mzungu Mkenya talks of how many senior citizens believe life was much better 50 years ago when the British still ruled.
He further attacks us for letting the Indians take over our economy and mistreat us. "Indians, take up all the jobs that Kenyans are too lazy to do. What's crazy is that some of those Kenyans are often more qualified than the Mushambas from India. I am talking about those Indians that look at Kenyans like a shabby cockroach climbing up the kitchen walls at KenChic. Those Indians that jump lines at Nakumatt just because Kenyans are black and they are not." he writes.
Here's the full article.

As a Mzungu who has been visiting Kenya for the last 10 years, I think it's time I shared some thoughts with my fellow Kenyans. As much as I love Kenya and a few people in this beautiful country, I am also deeply disturbed by Kenya's lack of progress for the last 10 years. In fact, I would say that Kenyans constantly under develop Kenya because they (Kenyans) are by far the laziest people in East Africa. (And I am predominantly speaking about the men in this letter) but let's start from the beginning.
Apparently, more and more senior citizens think that life was much better 50 years ago when the British ruled Kenya; a sign that something is terribly wrong as we speak. You may wonder what the problem is but the answer is obviously displayed on the streets of Nairobi. It's not the ever begging street families or the conmen and pickpockets, but men and women from one of the largest and most populous countries on our planet, India.
Indians, take up all the jobs that Kenyans are too lazy to do. What's crazy is that some of those Kenyans are often more qualified than the Mushambas from India. I am talking about those Indians that look at Kenyans like a shabby cockroach climbing up the kitchen walls at KenChic. Those Indians that jump lines at Nakumatt just because Kenyans are black and they are not. I haven't even mentioned those Indians that make any movie experience in Kenya feel like 2 hours in Kibera.
I know the Kenyan government gives a ridiculous amount of job contracts to India every year, (and this is a whole different story) but what's wrong with Kenyans that they accept to be treated by their own leaders worse than they were treated 50 year ago by colonialists? It finally seems like all Kenyans are literate, but it's a lot of fun to realize that most of them walk 300 Kilometers to work for 10 bob an hour in a tea factory owned by Indians! Ironically that 10 bob only pays for the daily chapati, another Indian food so loved by Kenyans.
But again, why are Kenyans even too lazy to rise up against such wrongdoing? Simple, Kenyans like sitting around all day long while mommy cooksugali and sukumawiki. The only time a Kenyan men ever gets up is when he wants to go to choo (hold on, seeing some parts in Kenya that is not even true), let's take that again, the only time a Kenyan man ever gets up is when mommy forgets to bring his Stoney. Please do not be offended by the following questions because I am going to try to make it as simple as possible; what the hell is wrong in this country?
After 50 years of the so called independence, Kenya is one of the few African countries still "ruled" by foreign invaders. It is time for you to stand on your own feet. You might fall but it's worth trying. I mean, when a country like Uganda, run by a mentally challenged president for 35 years, overtakes you economically by light years, then it's time to change something!
I don't understand the problem because a vast majority of Kenyan men are well educated. So get up, saddle up, man up and grab the jobs you have trained for your whole life. Why do you let foreigners take away your jobs then they live in Karen while you waste away in the slums dodging flying toilets? Seriously, is that the life you want? Just chase them away to where they came from! I think there must finally be a reason why you have so many machetes in your country!
Actually, if you do that, the tourism industry will recover big time because If I want to spend my night with a hundred Indians, I'd go to India not Kenya. But if you chase the Indians away (which you should for the reasons written above), things could get worse for some time. But hey, look at Zimbabwe, when they chased away the white people they eventually figured out how to run things. The bad news is that you'll have to roll up your sleeves for that because no one is going to do it for you! But if Zimbabweans can do it, Kenyans can do it too!
But as I believe that Kenyan men will continue living like they did for the last 10 years, I also see hope in form of Kenyan women. They are marvelous human beings because they have all the characteristics that Kenyan men and leaders lack or are unwilling to display. They are honest, sane and hard working. Kenya would be a better country if it was run by women. So Kenyan men, please step aside for the women to run this country and stop slapping them around because they do all the things that you are too lazy to do. You guys are just pathetic!
Finally, just one last thing to all those Kenyans who told me that things were much better when the British ran your country. For your love for Kenya and my love for you, I am going to start a petition online that demands the British to come back to Kenya! Because like you, I want what is best for Kenya. After all, the British brought you the bible, and let's be honest, after all those years, isn't it still the best thing in your life even if it is the source of all the problems you are facing right now?
God Bless Kenya and its wonderful people!
