Ziggy Dee released the classic “Eno Mic” in the early 2000s and years that follow the song gets more and more fresh to the ear. There is even a consensus on how the song can win best Ugandan song intro of all times no matter the awards.

207 the rapper, producer and local sports supporter jumped on the beat by Blinded Beats to spew some knowledge and shun nay sayers who he terms as “Abajega”. He goes ahead to comment on how everyone on the come up tends to be blackballed and denied chance to showcase their dreams. 207 who also produces the track, finesses as he settles the score.

“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.
