• The rapper had challenged Tanzanian rappers to a rap battle detailing he's the best rapper in Kenya and Nigeria.

Tanzanian award-winning artist Harmonize is calling out Kenyan rapper Khaligraph Jones over what he terms as disrespect of the highest degree.

Harmonize expressed his immense disappointment at Khaligraph's disregard for Tanzanian rappers and their craft.

In a lengthy post, he defended the Tanzanian rap scene, and in a bid to show that the nation wasn't all about soft melodies and Amapiano remixes he brought up the collaboration he did with Papa Jones in the past bragging about the recognition it garnered.

This was all in response to Khali issuing a challenge to Tanzanian rappers, telling them that they had 24 hours to respond to his call for a rap battle. In his call, Papa Jones insisted he needed a hip-hop response and not Amapiano.

On his Instagram stories, Harmonize angrily lashed out at Khali noting that he had gone super hard on their collabo earning him an award so he didn't understand why the rapper was out here acting like

"How I went so hard to give you the only award this year sikujua you can feel that big and disrespect my brothers!!!" started off the bongo artist.

He went on to claim that Khaligraph actually got his inspiration from Tanzania so he should humble himself.

"You really know all your rap inspiration is from Tanzania bro. Don't forget home!!!! Do you know weusiii?? What about your daddy Professor Jay...?"

Further taking shots at the rapper he went on to belittle Khali noting he wasn't even a big rapper as he thinks of himself.

"Your level is Lunya, Con Boy, and Country Boy and still wanakulalisha. You can tell kupita your collaborations OG relax! Tanzanian hip hop is another level!!!" the last of his rant read.

While issuing the challenge the Kenyan rapper in a video could be heard saying;

"Tanzanians, your rappers have 24 hours to respond. Failure to which I will launch an attack and I will take over the whole Tanzanian music industry and become the best rapper in Tanzania just like I am the best rapper in Nigeria and Kenya," Khaligraph proudly said.
