THE MEDIA HAS BEEN CORRUPT!!

The media has not been keeping it real in promoting our up and coming artists.I spoke to some of them while making a documentary,and they had a lot to share with me.They claimed that the people working in radio and TV stations demanded bribes from them or "Kitu kidogo", for them to atleast see their videos or hear their music on air.According to Cintu,the amount of money demanded is between kshs8000 - kshs10000.Some producers have also been blamed for collaborating with the unnamed media personalities.Labala of Wakamba Wawili duo,Ukoo Flani Mau Mau family,has been quoted saying that Clemo of Calif records actually bribed certain unnamed media personalities with upto kshs10000 to have music from his label get more airplay than others and thats why Kapuka and Genge artists became more famous than Hiphop,Reggea,Ragga and Afrofusion musicians.
