In what has now become a signature event to close the year, Geasteady offered his fans a rare opportunity to dine with him in a special event dubbed “Dine with Geosteady” that was held at Golf Course hotel.

It is typical of members of the hip hop fraternity in Uganda to release songs at the year end, rapping about the most famous and infamous events of the year. In the songs intended to wrap up the year, rappers show off their lyrical prowess and catchy flow with the usual goal of edutainment. Jim Nola MC, who rose to fame after replying to Feffe Bussi’s “Who is who” diss track, has done his own — in a fashion hardcore hip hop fans(including himself) aren’t usually happy with.

It should be remembered that in his diss track titled “Hip Hop Saviour”, Jim aka Abedunego used the opportunity to not only poetically lash out at Feffe Bussi, the rap battle instigator, but also bash rapper Fik Fameica and Gravity Omutujju for leaning a lot towards dancehall in their hiphop songs. This earned him respect as a new rapper that had come to revive hiphop, and others even saw him as a reincarnation of GNL Zamba.

However in his Rap Up, The Son Of Najjuma leaned a lot towards the dancehall he dissed colleagues for, and even though his lyrical depth and flow is impressive like always, the unorthodox beats prove he has also been pulled towards the more commercial side.
