Rapper O.P.U, born in Koboko district, West Nile, is making a mark on the Uganda music scene not only with his high quality music but with his new project named “Project R.I.C”.
Project R.I.C in full is “Reading Is Cool” a literacy project aimed at creating awareness of the need to read in Uganda. He started the project in his former primary school East Kololo Primary School where he visits the school once a week to conduct a reading club with pupils.
This project is aimed at improving the reading situation and the rapper hopes to spread his project cross the country. The success of this project will if well executed, place him among the very few artists in Uganda who use their influence for society development.
The rapper appeared on Urban TV’s prime time news segment to discuss the project into details. We salute and thank him for this positive cause and for putting Koboko Town on the map.
