My Grandfather’s Wax: Nigerian Funk, Juju and Afrobeat with KEM KEM

Copyright restrictions pose a challenge for our channel. YouTube automatically monetizes the songs in this mix, directing ad revenue to copyright owners. This means we can’t control the ads or their frequency. As a result, 99.9% of MAJ’s yearly viewership generates no income for us due to copyrighted music. MAJ’s mission is to share high-quality vinyl-only mixes. To continue, we need support to maintain our studio and cover expenses.

Olukemi Lijadu, who DJs under the moniker Kem Kem, is a Nigerian contemporary artist, DJ and music producer. Lijadu works with memory, music and the moving image.
