The awards, this year powered by Club Pilsener, were held last Friday at MOTIV in Bugolobi, to celebrate and promote artistic excellence in special categories. The 2023 edition brought together a number of musicians committed to the genre.
“We need to have unity and love within the industry. Let’s learn to honour those who were here before us; let’s learn to come from a place of love. Let’s build a foundation that encourages, builds, and chooses to transform… They say that a community that’s whole is a community that supports the weak,” veteran rapper Babaluku told his colleagues.
The event also saw performances from Flex D’Paper, The Mith, Timcence, AJ Stylz, and Big Tril.
