Back Seat is L€vi’s latest full length project. The producer and rapper offers a boom bap meets modern Hip Hop on this 10 tracks mixtape with distinct samples and melodies. It offers a taste and insight in his world. He raps political, to self made kind of vibes, the grind pays tales too. He features fellow members of Zagang.
It is pertinent that Back Seat is L€vi’s current canvas to paint his aspirations, life and inspiration. One moment you will hear him “Mobbing like ASAP” a comment on the Mafioso persona. The project becomes cinematic because of the soundtrack ready tracks as he tells stories from Namuwongo back in the day, getting off and back on his feet. Life off and on the edge.
The tape is up and close and mostly personal. Yes it’s him in the back seat regardless whether it’s a Safe Boda as symbolised by the track “Martin Luther Whip”. L€vi also offers his unique stories that we can relate to, wordplay and an open love for samples on most of the production. The samples are from all over the world as he gives us a global village feel from a Ugandan taking UG stories to the world. When you here the Ziggy Dee sample then you know that L€vi aimed for the iconic with Back Seat.

“Grace” is the latest offering from Jay Arc Mwesigwa with most of the lines addressing his love for his mother Grace and to all single mothers taking care of their children. It’s this grace that he brings forward. He raps over a Jazz -Hip hop fused beat with ease and a calculated delivery.
The song is more of a letter direct to Jay Arc’ mother and to others. It’s his “Dear mama” moment as he gives her reassurance. The rapper and Apparel owner is apparently here with music and we hope for more from him soon.

Stayput is definitely still teasing us and smartly preparing us for his forthcoming album. The rapper who is gaining traction day by day has released “G.O.A.T Freestyle” with a visual. This is entirely him dropping gems and braggadocios. It’s only right for him having one of the biggest street Anthems (“Abubang”) in Lira and the near by places – he had to release this one.

“Bad” is entirely a bad girl ting besides the ignorable cameo that Krackbone makes at the beginning of the visual. Krack and his Ace Plug Entertainment released an Afro-centric and futuristic album, EGO with hip hop at its core in August this year. To carry on the campaign, “Bad” off the album has a visual now. The song was produced by Yung Jey Basalesale.
In order of appearance: Afekuru, Tushi Polo,Kvan, Lady Slyke, Ella and Vkaycee bless us with their mic abilities and supreme beauty to match the music. The ladies show skin here and there call it a melanin show, endowment in a visual well chopped by Grate Make /Pest. To the set an Afro – Urban feel is brought out in line with the themes of the album. Of the ladies, rapper Lady Slyke happens to be the longest performing artist out of the posse. She is more of the old guard passing the torch to the new breed of female artistes – she excites with so much youth.
“Bad” visual expresses the feminine power, fashion and emphasises that ladies/women ran the world and thus an anthem is here. We get dancehall, Rnb and rap at its best with no limit – which is actually the agenda on this project. This is certainly the face of Ugandan music that needs to be supported for stars are already born it’s up to us to get with the program.
“Brother’s Keeper” is the lastest visual out off the long teased A Few Good Friends album.

Mal-X plays both roles. Akongo is employed to give soothing spirited backings on the project.
A Few Good Friends (AFGS) is a collective of carefully picked collaborators to make friends .
