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/ondustrtlawyer Back 2 Basics podcast - https://twitter.com/back2basics254 Out The Booth podcast - https://linktr.ee/outTHEboothpodcast Support the show - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/otbpodke

When it comes to sports, the conversation is largely based on football, basketball, tennis, formula 1 and other physically involved activities. Here in Kenya, track and field events have been the major sporting events covered and appreciated by a large audience. Today we look at a different kind of sport, E-Sports. According to the records, the first E-Sports competition was held in 1972 at Stanford University. I would love to go on about all that was involved but I’ll do you one better and add a link to the article once this episode is uploaded. After all, you’re here to hear about how the Kenyan scene is. Before the pandemic, gaming parlours and competitions had begun pulling in large crowds and the parlours were even lauded as one of the more profitable businesses for budding entrepreneurs. It was through this that the E-Sports Federation of Kenya was formed. The competitions themselves brought to light a new form of income for the youth and players like Queen Arrow represented the country in more than one international competition. In terms of returns, the gaming parlours provided a lot of young people a better way to spend their time other than being involved in vices and other unnecessary habits. They also got to earn, well not all of them, the winners only – I don’t think participation trophies count when you lose 5 – 0 in FIFA. By 2021 the financial projections claimed that the industry would be worth over 50 million Kenya shillings. On today’s show, we speak with the Head of E-Sports at Jiwe Sports Eugene Mweri. He is also a mental health advocate and a broadcast journalist. We look at how the scene has evolved in the past few years, the Tusker nexters and other E-Sport competitions as well as get to know other projects he has been involved in. FEATURED MUSIC  1.
