King of Genge, Jua Cali has for the first time opened up on how he got his first song to be played on radio.

In a throwback post, the singer narrated how after producing the song, together with his producer Clemmo they went to Lonrho House where Capital FM is based<a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/entertainment/dpp-drops-all-charges-against-eko-dydda/9vkbt2s"> looking for Jimmy Gathu </a>who then hosted the show Hits not Homework.

When they got to the station, they were told Mr Gathu was running late and with disappointment they decided to leave the building and head home.

As they were about to get off the lift on the ground floor, Jimmy Gathu was coming in and they introduced themselves to him as they went back up to the 19th floor.

Jua Cali and Clemmo explained themselves to Gathu who promised to listen to the song and later that evening at around <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/entertainment/size-8-opens-up-on-why-she-closed-down-high-end-beauty-shop/j2g7s91">8pm the song was already playing on Capital FM.</a>

According to Jua Cali, Gathu always played the song and they would go around telling friends that that was their song playing on radio.
