At this point we don’t wish to stunt on other genres, but well all we can do is smile and mark this day too in history. The first Uganda Hip Hop Awards 2016 Nominees list has been released and this draws closer to the D-Day -the Awards ceremony! After weeks of submission and now vetting the team at The Tribe UG confirmed to us the list.
