Rapper Khaligraph Jones treated the media to an exclusive listening session for his new album “Invisible Currency”.

During the session, guests had the opportunity to ask the award-winning rapper questions on the inspiration behind some of the significant songs that embodied the message and spirit of his album.

while also encouraging emerging artists to draw inspiration from his sheer hard work and zeal.
