Close to four years together, Moze Radio and Weasel are soon separating according to rumor doing rounds across the country. Regarded as Uganda’s best group, the duo, it is said have been having misunderstandings since last year ranging from women, money and authority. The two artists are the proprietors of Goodlyf crew which they formed soon after leaving Chameleon’s Leone Island in 2008. To make Goodlyf even more superior, they signed other artists like Diamond Oscar, Maurice Hasa, Red Banton, Chagga, Sizzaman and Producer who turned artist Washington. If the rumor is true, Radio and Weasel are slated to take on solo careers and “you make me cry”, “Tonjagala”, and “Ngenda kwekola ekintu” will surely be the last songs from the two.

Chameleon to launch next month by 1544c Ssejjombwe. (+256 782233273)

If it wasn’t for his naive character, I believe singer Joseph Mayanja alias Jose Chameleon would be among the top five artists in Africa. Forget this info that he’s Africa’s number six but regardless that, He’s one of the best artists to grace the industry. The “Mukisa gwo” artist, we’ve leant, will be holding his “Valu valu” album launch at Africana people’s space despite the fact that he only has one song so far on the album. The date for the launch hasn’t yet been established but it’s believed the event will be taking place in the third week of the month.

Lilian pregnant by 1544c ssejjombwe. (+256 782233273).

One of Uganda’s best vocalists and former Blu 3 lead singer Lillian Mbabazi is pregnant again, a reliable source confirmed to us. Lillian, who is believed to be two months pregnant, already has an 8 months baby with Goodlyf’s Moze Radio. It’s said Lillian and Radio fell in love during the recording of their top of the charts track “Where you are”, a collaboration between Blu 3 and Goodlyf back then in 2009. As a solo artist, Lillian has so far released more than three songs including “Kawa”, “Danger” and “Kankutwale” among others after she broke away from Blu 3 in 2010.

Diana’s “Kabite” by 1544c Ssejjombwe. (+256 782233273)

If there is any artist who has captured my attention this year, it’s Diana. She is a new artist whose debut single “Kabite” is doing so well on both radio and Tv stations lately and that is precisely why I’m reviewing this track this week. Based on a true story, “Kabite” was recorded at Gong records, the record label that shot the video as well. This is the kind of song that you’ll keep listening too over and over again. The beats, message, production and Diana’s spectacular voice make the song timeless. With the verses in Luganda, Diana builds up her case, asking what went wrong in her relationship that led to her “Kabite” (loved one) leaving her for another woman. The song is basically about lost love. The video is so simple, right on storyboard, and color but the costumes, camera angles and editing shows that these guys are still amateurs in the game.
