In todays episode, Sam and Afam get into the various activities they undertook during the previous week. Afam has been editing videos and Sam wonders where all the time is going, also, everyone seems to be born in September.
Kenyan artist Steph Kapela recently took to Tiktok to talk about an issue he feels is a big problem in the Kenyan music industry. Kapela goes on to educate the public, informing them of the reason they are hearing more international acts on radio instead of their own local artists. Sam and Afam dissect the video and talk about Payola. They attempt to give a brief educative session on what it is and how as well as where it started. As the conversation around Payola progresses, Afam argues that artists here should figure out how to use it to their advantage, while Sam tries to push for the abolishment of the illegal practice. Tune in to hear the varying opinions of the 30 Percent Podcast hosts, as well as what the feel are viable solutions to the problem.
