DJ Krowbar who rose to fame after battling other upcoming Kenyan DJs and coming out tops at the Pilsner Mfalme contest has hit out at upcoming artistes who try to holla at him to play his tracks. In a Facebook rant which he tagged as #AdviceForRisingMusicians he said...
"I want to tell all rising musicians that... "I AM NOT YOUR TICKET TO SUCCESS." As you work on your stuff I am working on mine too... My quality and content standards are going up with time. If you can't match up... "IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM."
He then asked any other artistes who can't match the standards to not even bother contacting him. And then he gives them advice.
"So, dont bother me with calls/texts/inboxes asking why I dont play your music. Out beat the standards that are there and see for your self..."
His rant was immediately followed with comments like:
Jose Voh Njenga
"sample some of mine n advice if its of good standard"
"sample some of mine n advice if its of good standard"
followed by a link. And some even criticizing him for his stance:

"Am not a musician But that is soo RUDE of you. Could not expect such words from a public figure like you....PRIDE COME BEFORE A FALL..."

And some even took to preaching to the DJ:
Dan Njuguna
"we hear u but remember that God has put u up there so that u can raise those who are down. it is so sad to hear u speak like that because nobody earns success on their own its all by the grace of God and i know that God wil raise a new priesthood in the music industry that will shepherd His pple without putting standards on them. Upcoming musicians be encouraged if God has put a calling in you nobody can kill it in the fullness of time the stone that the builders rejected became the cornerstone."
