“Wasanii wenzangu wakongwe, wanashida moja, hawataki kubadilika. Watu hawataki kukubali masaa ina badilika. Msanii lazima ukuwe versatile...Lazima tukimbizane na kasi ya saa hii ya mtandao,” said Prof Jay.

At the same time, Jay also hit out at new school musicians for lowering the quality of music by engaging in unnecessary sideshows that aim to attract attention. The rapper said he is making a comeback in the music industry as means of guiding young musicians.
