Marthabella, Uganda’s new female Rapper releases Goosebumps.

In Uganda, we have had a couple of female rappers take up the rap music scene that is widely dominated by their male counterparts. Keko seems to have pioneered this movement and now it is time to hand over the mantle to other talented ladies.

This time round, I present to you Marthabella who has just dropped something for you. Yes, a new project of hers titled Goosebumps. She is part of the urban music scene in Uganda which is a collective of young talented creative artists doing various styles and genres of music.

Nyende Releases The Prologue

The Prologue is a separate introductory section of a literary, dramatic, or musical work. This record illuminates the vignettes of a 15-20-year-old Nyende grappling with transition, growth, confusion, and loss. It marks the beginning of a new chapter and revitalization of my faith in God. So much thought, meditation, and prayer went into this song. Creatively directing it from scratch to the final product is surreal.

Nyende has faith in God. Give glory to His name

“The  Prologue Is all about my transformation since I last put out music. Realizing that everything you experience contributes to your learning process. At times I found myself thinking maybe I knew it all, but I didn’t. A very humbling epiphany that led me to a point where I felt more confident to ask for help when needed, know my place and make the right use of my curiosity. Learning not to take my low points personally, not to take them as end points, not to attach my ungraceful moments as every thing that defines me. Learning that there are still many pages I am yet to write, yet to see, not to let one bad chapter ruin what could be a beautiful book for myself.”

“Learning that the presence of my struggles is not an indication of the absence of God and leaning to the truth that some of God’s greatest works are manifested amidst trouble & turmoil. It’s days like this where I’m reminded of God’s grace, all the times I almost quit making music, and all the times I wanted to settle for less. Life has a beautiful way of sorting things out and I’m so thankful to God for Drillz The Rapper, Meerster Rgm, Michelle, and S.I.L who have encouraged me through this process and have worked with me on the record. Realizing now this whole trip was all about a healthy closure. I’ve had peace while grieving and creating this track. Definitely the first of many.”
