Khago In Control

Dancehall artist Khago recently won over USD$700,000 in a counter-lawsuit against producer Kemar “Flava” McGregor in a South Florida court. The ever outspoken deejay has since been expressing the need for artists to be more in control of their artistic output.

In this interview, Khago confessed to never being a rasta and his motivation for making music now.

Just deh a puppa, just a gwan put in some work and a brand new self and take full control of we career.

What made you decide to take control of your career in a time when many artists are not taking control of their career?

Cause maybe nuh baddi nah fight them so dem comfortable. When your back up ‘gainst the wall you have to figure it out but we figure it out yuh nuh.
