I know that the opportunity will also expose more quality Ugandan music to the world,” adding, “It’s also dream come true for me to work with artists I have been watching for years. I’ve got mad respect for Jah Prayzah and Mr. Bow. Now am here collaborating with them and working with the best producer in the industry. It’s just unbelievable!”
