Honestly, Kenyan artistes should stop complaining that they are not receiving international recognition yet they are not putting in work. No one wants to listen to your troubles anymore, maybe a non-governmental organization doing a documentary. Rapper Octopizzo is now going head to head with Compton's finest Dr.Dre.

Last night while BUYING Octopizzo's new album "Long Distance Paper Chasers" (LDPC), I realized it was among iTunes Trending Searches worldwide. At the moment, it is the second most popular album in the world, following Dr. Dre's Compton.

If you listen to Octopizzo's new 15-tracks album, you'll notice that he's taking the Kenyan Hip Hop music to a whole new level. The tracks are well mastered and have international quality. It's the kind of music that can be played on Los Angeles' KIIS-FM and no one switches off his radio.

To find out why I'm showering this guy with praises, download the music and let us know what you think.
