Award-winning rapper Khaligraph Jones is celebrating his new album becoming one of the top albums in Kenya.
The album, The Book of Jones, is currently at number 3 on the iTunes Kenyan chart alongside Playboi Carti, Partynextdoor and Drake, Ariana Grande and Lil Durk.
Celebrating the album being in the top 10, on Sunday, Jones thanked his fans for the support and urged them to continue streaming.
The rapper also shared a video of himself performing one song from the album for his family at his newly built mansion.
“Had a chance to perform “Family” for the 1st time from the Book of Jones Album ft Timmy Blanco and it was a blessing. Keep on streaming the album and thank you for the Support.” Jones shared.
The album, which was released on Friday, features a number of Kenyan artists including Nyashinski, Timmy Blanco, Silverstone Barz, Abbas Kubaff and Dyana Cods.
The album also features the popular track, “Khali Cartel 5”, the sixth single from the album, released in March.
The almost 12-minute track showcases a diverse lineup of East African rap talents, including Jakk Quill, Ruyonga, Fresh like Uhh and Mex Cortez.
Veteran Kenyan rapper Abbas Kubaff, renowned for his influential role in shaping Kenya’s rap scene in the early 2000s, features on this track, bringing a nostalgic yet fresh energy to the cypher.
“Khali Cartel” is a series of cyphers initiated six years ago, which Jones has said previously, has been instrumental in spotlighting emerging rap talents from East Africa, not just Kenya.
