No End Entertainment

One late morning as I was driving through Kamwokya, I saw this PHAT yellow conspicuous house that I have always wanted to visit. I had seen it before and everyone said it was the famous NO END Records Premises. Since I had some time on my hands, I decided to go up there and have a closer look.

Lucky for me, Hemdee was at the office. I introduced myself and he said, 'Oooh, you are the guy from musicuganda.com, ahaa…' I had never met Hemdee but I had heard a lot about him. He was rather down-to-earth compared to other Ugandan entrepreneurs in the music sector. He looked rather exhausted; he and the No End Crew had been to Nairobi trying to promote their new pre-releases. It was about midday now and the office was just opening for business. 

"You can come in and have a look, but you will have to take off your shoes first" who was I to disagree? The degree of cleanliness in the studio is high and is emphasized right at the point of entry. You will definitely do good business with these guys, BUT ensure that you acquire a set of fresh socks before you set foot there. 

One of my main points of interest was the recording studio it's self. It seems he noticed this. He led me straight to the Boards of production, which were being captained by Menton Krono at that time (he was also bare-footed). As I was taking some pictures in the studio, Christo Fabulous walked in. I was like "wow! Another Ugandan Artist…" I met Christo and he let me take his picture as well. 

In the studio, I saw 'designer' studio equipment names like Mackie, Planet Phatt and Furman. I saw so many machines and I honestly don't know what they all do. All I know is they are used to make music! I asked Krono how many artists had been produced at No End and he said they were so many! There are so many projects in the pipeline at the studio, but among the artists they have produced so far are Halima, Chameleon, Mega Dee, Peter Myles, Ronnie Kavuma, Alex Mukulu, Dembe Herbert and others. 

Anyhow, after I met Christo, I realized that I needed to take a picture of Hemdee. At that time, he wouldn't let me take one because his hair was still in a mess (after the Nai trip), but like the star that he is, he had a couple of pictures, which he let me have. He also signed one for the musicuganda crew from the entire No End Crew. 

On my way out, I met a couple of other artists and got acquainted with Brian Marley, lead singer for 'Brian Marley and The Big Drum'. Basically at No End Records, every time you turn around, you see an artist. It's like a beehive with so many bees waiting to make honey, that's the best way to describe this crib.

We are going to profile as many artists from No End as we can, but it will take some time because the list is hard to exhaust. We at musicuganda.com would like to thank Hemdee, Halima and the entire No End crew for what they are doing for Ugandan Music.

"That's all he wrote folks, now back to the studio"

I'll be back with more great stuff
