Kenyan artist,Bensoul, is set to leave Sauti Sol music record label, Sol Generation, after his contract has expired.
He was among the first musicians to be signed under the Sol Generation label after it was launched in 2019.
In an interview with Tuko Extra, the artist stated that his contract is expiring soon and he is not ready to renew it.
He noted that he is ready to be in charge of his music career as well as his future from now onwards.
The artist compared his departure to a lion who has been nursing its cubs and when the time comes for them to hunt for themselves, it lets them go and survive on themselves.
In the process, some cubs survive and others die in the wilderness as well.
“I’m the jungle male cub, akifika a certain age, wanafukuzwangwa from the pride, wanaambiwa sasa enda ujitafutie. So wanafukuzwangwa wakiwa wengi, wengine wanamake it, na wengine wanakufa in the wilderness,” he stated.
The artist credited the record label for offering him a platform to grow his career up-to-date.
Since 2019, Bensoul has collaborated with the Sol Generation production team and they have produced hit songs like “Suzanna” and “Extravaganza.”
The artist also holds Grammy Awards certificate alongside his colleagues after working on Burna Boy’s album “Twice As Tall” which was considered the best global album at the 63rd Grammy Awards event.
