Sauti Sol recently made utterances that revived the old score between musicians and MCSK in regards to the royalties received from their music.
“Our first payment from MCSK was a whooping Sh2, 800! At the time, we were performing all over the country and had some of our biggest songs on constant rotation in the media, bars, mpaka kwa mathree… We were in utter shock! But we don’t care. Hio pesa ya MCSK tutaiendea for our retirement,” says Bien.
Even then, Sauti Sol was the hottest thing around with shows all over the country and had their songs played and aired on radio and TV but the amount noted was all they got over a period of one year.
