Krg The Don is proof that money can’t buy talent

Dancehall singer Karuga Kimani, better known as Krg The Don, might have all the money in the world but one thing he can’t buy with it is talent.

I know some of you who are reading this article are his fans and it will definitely anger you but you see, someone had to say it, too bad that it had to be me.

If you Google Krg The Don, you’ll see many articles about his pricey cars, houses and whatnot. Interestingly, there is no article where he is referred to as a talented artist because he’s just not.

This lad is filthy rich and that means that he has no problem paying studio fees or shooting a video as is the case with most local artists. I’m sure he even pays double because he has deep pockets.

What this implies is that he can release a track whenever and as regularly as he wants which is a problem because he ends up giving his fans mediocre music.

To me it seems like Krg The Don does music to pass time the same way you and I, who are not as loaded as he is, can watch a movie or go swimming when we are bored.

More often than not, his lyrics are flat and uninspired. At times, his whack songs leave me wondering why he can not hire a songwriter with all the money that he has. Isn’t money a solution to all problems?

To be fair though, Krg The Don has an amazing voice and he has the potential of becoming one of the best dancehall artists not only in this country but the whole of Africa but I think he just doesn’t care.

Watch his latest single titled Kairetu below and tell us what you think.

Kenyan dancehall singer Krg The Don, whose rel name is Karuga Kimani, has released a new track and I have mixed feelings about it.

The song titled Kairetu is about a lass that the musician can’t get enough of. He claims she is so beautiful and wants her all to himself.

I honestly don’t know what to make of this song because it’s a big step-down if you compare it with some of the jams that he released last year like Nyandus, Mathogothanio and Kuroria.

I know that Kairetu is a different sound but I would rather he continues doing collabos with Gengetone artists rather than making a song which is so uninspired like this one.

As I was listening to this song, I kept thinking how Krg The Don, who claims to be the richest musician in the region, went ahead and shot a video for it. If you ask me, it didn’t even deserve a video.

The lyrics for Kairetu are lazy to say the least and it makes you wonder why some musicians can not set aside time to perfect their craft because from where I sit, it seems he composed the song in less than 10 minutes.

Krg The Don has a unique voice and he has the potential of becoming one of the best dancehall artists not only in this country but the whole of Africa and he just needs to get out of his comfort zone.

That aside, the beat by Sadafa was dope, too bad Krg The Don wasted it. The video is also sort of monotonous since it seems the musician just wanted to show off his Porsche 911 Turbo S. We get it Krg, you are filthy rich.
