Sauti Sol Stole My Song Alleges Upcoming Artist -And He Has Evidence To Back His Claims

Sauti Sol are one of Kenya’s hottest entertainment finds of recent history and they have managed to remain relevant unlike so many of their peers simply because they produce hot new music. And they are currently riding the wave of their hot new jam called “Sura Yako“.

But now, there is some controversy following their successful release of the jam and it comes in the form of an upcoming artist who accuses them of stealing his instrumentals.
 The artist whose government names are Simon Mandela Murunda but who goes by the stage name Parroty claims that on an off chance, he got to meet Polycarp of Sauti Sol after giving him a ride in his car and from there they begun talking about music and the entertainment industry by and large.

That was when Parroty told Polycarp that he had some music he was working on and he wanted him to give him some advice as an established artist, a decision he now regrets.
Polycarp allegedly heard the “chakacha” instrumentals and fell inlove with them. So much so alleges Parroty that he decided to use them for their hit “Sura Yako“.

Here the original track originally is:

And here the raw instrumentals are. I have since been trying to reach out to both Polycarp and/or their P.R manager Anyiko Awoko to no avail. I will keep you posted as the situation unfolds.
