Renowned artist Ragga Dee has distanced himself from any knowledge regarding the annual Bebe Cool List.
In his perspective, the list doesn’t carry the significance that the media tends to attribute to it upon release.
With a musical career spanning over two decades, Ragga Dee has transitioned to a role where he advocates for a functional system that ensures artists earn more from their content through Copyright Amendment request and working with young artists rather than engaging in the release of new music.
Despite losing in attempts to become the Lord Mayor of Kampala through the NRM ticket, Ragga Dee continues to resonate with audiences through his timeless classics performed on selected stages.
The artist emphasizes the need for unity within the Ugandan music industry, advocating for mutual support instead of critical judgments.
Expressing concern over the perceived judgmental nature of the Bebe Cool List, he encourages a shift towards fostering empowerment for emerging talents.
I personally don’t know anything about the Bebe Cool list but I have heard people talk about it in the media. It looks like the list is very judgemental instead of empowering the young musicians who are joining the industry. As older musicians, we need to make the music industry better.
Ragga Dee
As a veteran in the industry, Ragga Dee calls for a collaborative effort to enhance the music scene, asserting that the focus should be on supporting one another rather than rating and potentially demoralizing young musicians.
He urges Bebe Cool and others in influential positions to channel their efforts into empowering the new generation, fostering an environment where artists can thrive collectively.
