Let's have an honest, friendly conversation about Kenyan cinema — where it’s working, where it’s falling short, and what could actually make it better. Because this industry isn’t failing due to a lack of creativity. It’s struggling because of structure, storytelling choices, and a disconnect between filmmakers and audiences.

Every great song can make a great conversation if you take away the melody, but not every great song has to be a conversation. Do you ever listen to a song and think of how you would respond to the musician? Does a song ever make you think about why the artist would write or say a particular lyric? Well, you are right. Great songs are great conversations once you take away the beats, but don't just take my word for it. Listen in to know why I believe so. LinkTree -  https://linktr.ee/outTHEboothpodcast

In this episode, Ondu Street Lawyer gives an in-depth look into the career of Kenya’s finest hip-hop artist, Khaligraph Jones. Having been in the industry for over 15 years, OG has done more than most artists. From taking HipHop to commercial levels never witnessed, to being the voice of reason when it comes to artists. One thing that has set him apart, is sticking to his roots and making sure we, as listeners, never forget where he came from and why he does this. Whether courting controversy or starting beef, Khaligaph has remained a fan favourite and his reign is undeniable. *The actual file is over 3 hours long, it has been cut down to 2 parts and the second will be released later. Social media -Ondu : https://twitter.com/ondustrtlawyerBack 2 Basics podcast - https://twitter.com/back2basics254Out The Booth podcast - https://linktr.ee/outTHEboothpodcastSupport the show - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/otbpodke
