Many Awards shows find it impossible to get passed the dreaded 3 years, however UGHHA 2021 will mark the 5th years that a successful Awards event has taken place.
Not only is it for Hip Hop, but it was organized and executed in Corona times for which UGHHA (UG HIP HOP AWARDS) and MTN deserve a huge commendation.
But what next for the fastest growing genre? It seems as though a lot of the older “disputes” that they call “beef” have been laid to rest, and the 5th year was marked by a more interactive and unified approach.
The Cypher saw LG, Babalukku and Navio come together with unknown online winners for a monster Cypher that showed that Uganda truly is a Top 3 competitor in Africa for Hip Hop. The biggest Awards of the night went to Judas Rap Knowledge and MC Yallah for Best Male and Female. Song of the Year went to “Some Ka Money” by Adrenalyn.
