Sauti Sol blast Jalang’o after he claimed they are killing the industry: Don’t fix your brother’s collar in public

Comedian Jalang’o, during a heated exchange with Kenyan artists last month claimed that Sauti Sol are among artists who are letting the industry down.

Jalang’o said that Sauti Sol have a lot of Knowlegde on how to operate in the industry but have refused to share with local artists. According to the members, they have been tirelessly working on how they can help the industry but Jalang’o never bothered to investigate.

“Jalang’o is the biggest letdown but that’s a story for another day. I’m a letdown if i see a brother putting down another brother. He’s my guy and he knows the plans that have been underway. I would expect him to have called me first instead of politicizing the whole thing. I got really pissed and actually went off on him on that.

“Polycarp is doing a copyright course at Harvard. Just all these things. I launched Kenya writers association, those are the things he (jalang’o) didn’t know we were doing in the background so that we can have a better dispensation for our artistes.” said Bien Baraza.

Message

He added that their new record label Sol generations will show their hard work. He asked Jalang’o to avoid talking ill about his brother to look like he’s helping others.

“Labels have been started but have fallen for a reason because people are not putting organisational structure behind them. And so we’ve been doing for the last year for our fans have not been just chilling and watching Kenyan music crumble. No. We’ve been taking our time to approach this animal in a different way. To my brother jalang’o what I would say is meza dawa yako. And if i go wrong, don’t fix your brother’s collar in public,” he said.

Sauti Sol forced to explain why they haven’t released new songs despite promising a song every month 

Sauti Sol has come out to explain why they didn’t keep a promise they made last year in November. The popular band had promised fans that they’ll be releasing new music every month for a year. But in 2018, the band barely hit half the number they promised.

The band has now come out to disclose that they couldn’t keep their promise because they realized that they didn’t have the financial capabilities to make the project possible.

“We took a break because we realized we did not have the required financial muscle to keep up with the releases and push the project to a global scale. We have, however, signed deals with international record labels and from next year we will be back on track,” Bien said during a media briefing.

Nominations

Their statement comes just a week after they were nominated in three categories at the Soundcity MVP Awards. ‘Short n Sweet’ which features Nyashinski has been nominated for two categories ‘Video of the Year’ and ‘Song of the Year.’ The group has also been nominated in the ‘Best Group or Duo’ category.

The friendzone anthem! Sauti Sol drops yet another interesting jam

Multi-award winning Afro-pop group Sauti Sol, release a hot new single & full EMOJI (lyric) video FRIENDZONE, written and produced by Sauti Sol.The release is accompanied by a WhatsApp themed, conversation like, Emoji-only (lyric) video.

“Emoji texts are the new ‘means’ of communication and more specifically emotions like laughter, lust and love. We wanted to have fun with this concept seeing as the track we had needed visuals which best highlight these emotions as people nowadays communicate them. So we thought it was best to come up with such a video.” said Sauti Sol’s guitarist/producer, Polycarp.

We all know that nobody (especially men ?) like to be friend zoned ? and Sauti Sol makes that very clear in this song and video. Once in such a situation you will look for ways to maneuver ?your way out. Thus this song has a theme that every man can relate to and every lady can give testimony to?.
