 good stuff coming away but for now it's all about what has been happening into the Kenyan music scene and controversies yeah yes Michelle before you can carry on can I define a poppin I like defining a poppin yes hip poppin is basically what's poppin in the world of hip hop from way back to now uh to can from Kenya to Johannesburg to Cairo to Lagos to New York to LA to London to Australia Sydney Australia everywhere what Boran hip hop Antarctica you forgot that I forgot Antarctica anyway you poppin what's poppin in the world of hip hop so what's poppin in the world of hip hop a lot of stuff has been happening let's start off with one of the pioneers of hip hop music that is a basketball who since day one has been showing support for calligraph Jones and he came out saying you know what you're actually doing a good job after the release of Superman and the relationship goes way back even before this new release of a single and a Superman so there's that support system and also him mentioning about the Kenyan industry per se and the fact that 90 percent as usual play Kenyan music as we do right here at Y254 so it's the same story and I love the fact that there's been a consistency consistency has been there compared to other days when we usually mention artists about play ke but now there's that consistency where it's a conversation that is still ongoing onto that uh a bus uh kubaf uh calligraph uh matter yeah a bus uh octopisa came up uh like i can attribute a very big percentage of octopisa's success in this thing a bus kubaf like alcona is a bus by asana so there was that's been yeah and that's why i was actually saying octopisa and calligraph so uh when you have a common enemy i feel like but i also feel like yeah i feel that but i also feel like it's rare for fellow hip hop artists to give home age and seeing it happen it's actually a good thing between a bus and calligraph yes yeah but that's but i love the song i also love the song by calligraph jones superman getting super love so octopisa also be coming up we also mentioned about uh humanitarian works and this time around there's someone an artist known as eric who went ahead to open his own musical school courtesy of the programmer by octopisa and mentorship by him that's amazing i'm saying i'm trying that's amazing to see young people you know come out of their comfort zone and do something great to help the community considering he's a refugee from konga yeah amazing so supported by octopisa now he's done his thing is open to music school exactly right and i respect the kongolese guys they're good with the guitar man and they're dancing skills and that dancing when you talk about kongolese people dancing it has to be yeah i actually didn't do this because the first thing was dancing i was like oh the waist it's always about the waist nobody can win they waste like kongolese people and my sisters from united kisumu or those sisters can win it as well shout out to

culture abasko buff is one of the artists from way back has been giving supports to calligraph johnson and this time around he went on social media to upload a video where he spoke about the support system in kenyan especially in the media houses and speaking also on the terms of monopoly that is basically 90% of music being played right here in kenyan should be from kenyans and the other percentage to be given out international artists abasko buff has been off the production of music since 2016 a time frame of two to three years that is after he wedded his long-term girlfriend from

now it's been quite the year for travis scott headlining in so many shows and he has really performed in such magnanimous shows of let me see about one thing this year he has been caught on a very wrong side when he is being sued by the co-founder of three six mafia for infringement of copyright laws travis scott has a song called astro world in which case the hoop goes f the club up f the club

concerts in any day soon he will not be able to also produce new music as t-pain has been warned that he may lose his voice permanently he has been performing in event after event and that has caused a serious strain in his voice now when it comes to g unit is a lot to speak about but the main person in focus this time will be 50 cent now katis jackson has been a very busy man now it all started when he was being sued by terry marie from love and hip-hop hollywood for colluding with his boyfriend to release a sex tape now 50 cent went on to win the case for he was awarded 30 000 dollars although he had hoped a little bit more in the rough estimate of 161 660 000 dollars for he claimed that's the exact amount he had spent to pay the wearer for covering the case over the judge threw the case out saying that only money will be given is the 30 000 dollars that he had actually ordered as if that wasn't enough 50 cent went on to start up a long brewing feud between him and young buck 50 cent went on social media to speak about young buck's upcoming album and saying how proud he was but it's not that that really made young buck upset but what he said after that but young buck had this to say on return and then you want to hold me on a contract are you serious you're going to tell him anything tell him the truth tell him what you really do tell him about them see some good
