Kenyan Chart: Paid My Dues, Anto Neosoul

Its been almost five Months since the song was released, but its still here; on The Kenyan Charts.

Many have been Anto Neosoul's fans ever since "Chips Funga" dropped, while some doubted his earlier works, he has steadly proven to be a "Classic's" Singer, with an eccentric style, sure accurate ears of music will like every vibe from his voice.

The Singer/Presenter is really talented..even though he sang about people like us (bloggers and Critics) in his single "Paid My Dues" where at the first verse he sings;

"my phone ringin', people sms-ing,
have you seen the blogs and websites?, facebook posts and twitter?
Somebody put you in a shooting spot, beggin' for your blood its goin' down"

But you will wonder why a Netizen will focus on an artist's life, even with more attention rather than the artist's music career..or is this just human instinct or a simple layman's logic?

I think The Kenyan Mind would put him on a Gold List, but that in not in our credentials.
If you are among the type that can't listen to a track until its end, unless you absolutely have to, mainly because you may like the bridge or the coda (outro), you're not alone

The surprise: for Anto haters, i think they are lucky, He had almost the whole song dedicated to you, isnt that sweet?...it even gets sweeter with the hook

'coz-i paid my dues,
oh yes i-i paid my dues, said-i paid my dues and,
i aint got nothin' to lose oh,

i paid my dues,
oh yes i-i paid my dues,
said-i paid my dues,
ni mungu tu ananidai'

Jaguar made cameo in the music video at the bridge part, with Anto in Nairobi's Street at night set-up.

the view in this post is from a writer's opinion, and may not necessarily be similar to that of The Kenyan Mind
