"I wanted to build something bigger than me. Right now, Ykee Benda is still bigger than the label but my idea is to make Mpaka Records bigger than me.

According to Ykee Benda, a part from producing music and videos, the company is looking at maximizing on its potential as an agency between corporates and artists.
