Our rap prayers have been answered; Kenya’s hip-hop OG’s Abbas Kubaff and Khaligraph Jones might bless us with a joint soon.
The two rappers had Kenya’s rap fans excited when they each took to their respective social pages to pay homage to each other, a rare gesture in Kenya’s Hip-hop culture.
It started with the ‘Omollo’ rapper who paid a glowing tribute to the pioneer OG of Kenyan rap with a video on Instagram.
In the clip, a humbled Khaligraph talks up Abbas’ contribution to his rap career, revealing how the former K-South rapper put him on when he was starting out.
“Abbas didn’t ask me for money, he didn’t for anything…I have a lot of respect for that guy…like total utmost respect,” says Khali.
A few hours later, Abbas Doobeez returned the favour, and gave Khali a glowing endorsement before hinting at a collabo.
He captioned a picture they had taken back in the day:
“Most rappers are not bold enough to pay homage because of “pride” and all that extra shit! Game wreconize Game and I give a big shout out to @khaligraph_jones for giving props and remembering where he srtarted from. I said it before in 2008 watch out 4 this Ninja coz he is the future of Hip-Hop!!
