SWAVATAR, Kampala (2025)

At some point when I wasn't looking, Ajo dropped OFF DADDY DUTIES which was singlehandedly produced by his long-time producer Nase Avataŕ .

If this is your first time experiencing Ajo, here's a brief primer. - He has a high voice laced with Bautista energy. A self-made rapper whose journey started from Mulago Hill. See, it is hard to compare him with anyone in the U.G. hip-hop industry because he is uniquely gifted and skilled as a rapper. His rhyme scheme is not of this planet.
"It's the sky-high feelin'
You want Beef? But it's a vegan feeling
So I'm celibate, and you can celebrate (nah)" on track No. 8, Sundown with Akeine. The only collaboration on the album.

OFF DADDY DUTIES is a special tape in itself. As the album title suggests, Ajo is clearly off the daddy duties through his rap prowess. To some, it is a career, doing it for the money. But the gentleman clearly does it better.

The tape is a solid 15 tracks, 22 minutes and 40 seconds long.

I have a theory about Jessy Canary, better known as Jc Muyonjo Muyonjo, and it's that he makes music because he HAS TO. He can’t argue he’s doing it to get rich or famous. No. He does music because he has a creative itch that must be scratched and if it's not, it'd constantly nag him to do so.

ABATUUZE, an Audio-Visual Album dropped on 6th August and has so far been uploaded on YouTube for consumption.
It is a collaborative album that features mostly poets. I mean, the best U.G has ever had.

Kabera Angel opens the album with a spoken-word poem on This Is Africa (TIA). The wordsmith walks us through her continent, Africa. Changing the narrative that the first writers told us about it. Of koosa, J.C. marries his melodic voice on the African beat thus making the introduction to this Album complete for the Natives (Abatuuze).

Mr. Muyonjo is exactly who he thinks he is. The man performed a speech by Brian Kagoro on ECHO CHAMBERS in two persons. He asks how long we want to be blind. "Eeh bwaana how long do you want to be blind?" he sings on the chorus. The song brings out why distorted perceptions reinforce narrow viewpoints and ignore broader contexts. So, when discussions focus on specific critical factors like economic disparities, they blind and fragment understanding, hence undermining advocacy.

KADAAMA features Ssebo Lule on track No.5. J.C dedicates this song to the Khaddama sisters, aunts, and mothers out there hustling mu Biyumba (Arabic Homes in UAE and elsewhere in the Middle East). Nobody cares for them, especially the host countries and when tragedy befalls them, everyone pretends to care. Ssebo Lule recites a reassuring poem of a successful Kadaama after making all the necessary sacrifices.

Remember KIDANDALI album? He mentioned somewhere that he is not the Okikube-Okite kind of artist cos that isn't his style either. Check. "A carpenter shouldn't be fighting for a seat at a table." Wake Mugoda Gordons comes in with his witty lines on THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL. This song gives us a sneak peek into what is yet to come in the next few years in Africa. It's upon the leaders to put in place things that would help the young population on the continent to realize their full potential otherwise, they (leaders) won't be ready for what these youngins would turn out if ignored now.

Skim through Muyonjo's discography and you'll realize that he is not just a hidden gem but the greatest artist of all time. GAOAT (read as gau:t).

J.C produced and digitally painted the artwork of the 8-track-album singlehandedly. He has a gift and we're blessed that he's willing to share it with others, or should I say more correctly; he is COMPELLED to share it. I'm sure it doesn't matter to him that it is appreciated. He is confident in his craft.

When I think about my favorite rappers, there is generally one adjective that accurately articulates why they are superior to their peers – eloquence. The very definition of the word according to Dictionary (dot) com is "the practice or art of using language with fluency and aptness." And that is RUYONGA with such ability to enunciate with sniper-like accuracy.

KABALEGA. His newest album that dropped last Friday, 24 May 2024, opens with an Intro that is rich in indigenous whistling from Hoima, Masindi, Kaboohe, Kiruhura and other parts of the Western region. The Kitagururo beat that slides in gives it a Homecoming sound of a King that Ruyonga is. The melodic voice of Yvonne Kushe could never go unnoticed.

Rrruu sets himself apart on KITARA which features TRUTH 256 and Chief. Rrruuu delivers a god-like flow where he mixes English and Vernacular. It was on this song in an old video where he boasts "after this album, do not disturb me."

Josh Sb is to blame for setting Ruyonga up killing a skkkrrr-ssskkrr beat. He trapped on TELI KUZIKIZA and now rumour has it that no trapper is willing to attempt ever again.

Ruyonga's strengths lie in his unique flow, clever wordplay, and ability to paint vivid imagery with his lyrics. He often incorporates elements of his Faith and surrealism into his music, and THAT'S ALL I WANT is no different. It's a calm song where he airs out his questions about life and what he wants out of it.

SAALA, a love song featuring Ykee Benda comes No.8 on this tape. Ruyonga definitely has a way with words that would save most of the bros out there who have a long way in wooing a girl. "God must have made you on the 8th day, you're proof that He rested on the 7th to make something so precious. He had to first take a Break. I don't even know how He let you out of Heaven."

PARTE YANI cannot go unmentioned. This song ruled the airwaves of this country and still doing well. It features Zex Bilangilangi who gives a catchy hook and the chorus and Wonder JR serving another verse. The song is a rib-rattler littered with groovy vibes throughout. "Parte si parte paka nga tujiyingidemu." What. The...!

Something unique about this album, it does not have unnecessary skits or old recorded conversations behind the studio. You know it's hard to find an album nowadays without those filler audios. OK, we as fans, we don't like them.

Ruyonga's only problem is; that he makes rap seem too easy. Of course, this man has been "killing instrumentals since S.2" as he mentions on KWETEGA. Another party song on the album.

Often regarded as a rapper's rapper that’s frequently overlooked outside of the most informed hip-hop fans, Ruyonga is a legend in the UG hip-hop scene. It is hard to compare him to anyone. See, he went ahead to pick His crown. Dusted it. Sat on his throne and has refused to give it back.

Is it safe to say that Ruyonga is the Rap-god of U.G Hiphop?

The album has 11 tracks altogether that run for 35 minutes and 12 seconds only.
