Producer Visita (Formerly of Grandpa now at Hela Records) |
The multi million stable Grandpa Records is better known for successes than squabbles
but looks like this time round the label had been hit so hard,Visita is on his
way out too.And I believe Refiga is not planles either. Taking you back to the
dem days when we first heard the anthem Maswali Ya Polisi ,that’s the birth of
Grandpa success and speaking of DNA ,he left the label a couple of years back
soon after the release of Fimbo Chapa citing quite a number of predicaments as
the source of his exit. Then followed Kidis The Jembe of Kamua Leo remix . They say give c-zar what belongs to
c-zar and to God what belongs to Him. In my own words I would say the most
beautiful moments of an artiste’s career is when your music is at the top of chats,
when the kids and the wazees listen and sing along. But then ask yourself who
put the music on the chats and perhaps who came up with the wonderful tune.
Truth be told it takes a good artiste to
command the Kenyan fan base and bring a brand out of an impressive talent .same
to an artiste’s manager, if you mishandle or dishonor agreements between
artistes and yourself or your stable then that becomes the breaking point of a
multibillion contract. This is my hint to those who are just beginning. I am
not saying this is the very case with Grandpa Records or even artistes who have
gone through the stable.
Anyway just
a few hours ago outgoing Grandpa Records Producer and sound engineer better
known as Visita The Kingmaker took to his face book timeline and had this to
say
ONLY AN IDIOT WOULD BELIEVE THAT I
WAS FIRED FROM GRANDPA.
FIRE ME AS WHO? HEHEHE. COMEDY.
I CHOSE TO BE THERE, SAME AS I CHOSE TO LEAVE. RESPECT THE INDUSTRY AND THE INDUSTRY WILL RESPECT YOU.

Wait a
minute ‘fire me as who” so all this while he called the shots? Yes ,its very obvious
from the brainchild beats to the trending Sound and now it’s time for the
AFRIMA awards nominee to leave for his own stable HELA RECORDS .At least we now
know he was not fired but then, some of the many questions are still left unanswered ;
11. Is Visita leaving grandpa in good faith or there is a
conflict between Refiga and himself?
2
- 2. He is leaving at a time new projects are about to be
unleashed from the stable ,among them Bingirisha by Dufla ,is he walking away with few artistes he inspired or he leaves that for them to decide?
3 3. Can we
expect a Shida Mbili (Visita,Kenrazy ) re union since he is moving out of influence of Refiga, bearing in
mind razy and Refiga fell out at some point?
44. He happens
to be a great producer and Refiga a great manager, don’t you think their fall out could lead to both of them landing in a ditch since the two are quite
important for a stable to grow and hence need each other ?
55. Did Visita
at any one given point have shares at
grandpa records especially after your appointment as the Vice President and if that is true how are the dividends
going to be shared ?
66. He did
fall out with DNA at one point ,something that led to DNA missing in action in the Shilingi Yangu Video. By any chance do you
think any of the two is ready to drop their ego and work as a team at the new
stable or anywhere else ?
77. How many
established artistes are moving along with Visita to Hela Records from Grandpa ?
88. Refiga had
a commendable array of connections as far as TV and Radio network are concern, do
you think his influence will in any way hinder Visita from achieving Hela goals ?
99. Grandpa
records had a unique sound specifically created or designed by Producer V sita,
aren’t we going to have the same sound at Hela therefore rendering Grandpa
records irrelevant?
DNA left, then followed Kidis, and eventually
Kenrazy .The question is, why or what on earth would make such huge names quit
a stable believed to have been a part of their successful journey at some point
in life .Secondly how often do we read binding agreements and stick to them or realize
the loopholes. Thirdly which artiste manager wants to go home empty handed
knowing very well no condition is permanent,for instance producers and artistes
come and go ?anyway it’s been confirmed Visita is on his way out .Am pretty
sure grandpa records is not going to sink down. Could be there is a name as
huge as that of Visita or even bigger and that’s the reason for the tantrums’
wonder why Refiga is very quiet .Soon enough we shall know everything that
transpired between the two.God bless Grandpa Records .God Bless Hela Records
