A new year is upon us. Each year comes with its revelations and great talent worth taking note of. Sitting on a wealthy bed of potential are the artistes on this list. They could turn 2014 into their biggest musical year thus far. We expect breakthrough from great talent, debut solo concerts and breaking of bread at the mainstream table.
Presenting the top talents to watch out for this year.
1.EBENEZERI CHIBITA
Riding high with over 5,000 youtube views for eye opening single, Zukuuka(wake up call), Ebenezeri has already won hearts, ears and best of all, created a solid launch pad, a great reputation to build on his career. Young rapper, 2014 is yours for the taking. Go get it!
2.WAN RIZZY
One of Uganda’s best kept talents creating waves on the online platform. His song, ‘In another world’, has earned him over a million plays on sound cloud , a song off the album,”Limelight” that is up for sale and already selling out! Having featured on top 10 songs of 2013, and featuring on countdowns in both Nigeria and USA, Wan Rizzy’s album, “Limelight” will surely launch his name to where it deserves… the top!
3. MAUREEN K
Have you checked out her latest video,”Abatoo”? This Fusion band’s vocalist has massive talent to exploit and take her rightful place in the industry.
4. NUTTY NEITHAN
Could he be Uganda’s next top Dancehall artiste? 2014 is the answer.
5. RENAH NALUMANSI
The “Ontambuza” singer and former Dream girls member, Renah could prove her worth this year.
6.ABE’NGANDA CLAN
Widely believed to be the finest Lugaflow rappers, the Abe’Nganda duo are yet to live up to that hype.
7.NELLY SADE SAINT
One of the top emcees of 2013, this Lugaflow rapper’s trademark lyrical touch is yet to receive its due appreciation.
8.JACKIE KATEME
Gagamel vocalist earned two nominations for break through artiste but was largely over shadowed by towering Irene Ntale. This is her year to step out of shadows.
9.FILLE
Will she keep the candle burning this year, lets watch!
10.BIG TRILL
Having released “White Shadows” album late last year, we are yet to get the best from most of that album that has been given ,safe to say, low publicity.
11.QUEEN AGEE
Said to be one of the finest female rappers out there, we hope she finally steps up to the ocassion.
12.ENYGMA
Already a big name in the hiphop circles, 2014 could be that year the man in the mask robs the show!
13. THE MITH
The most established name on the list, The Mith has us waiting fingers crossed with his “DESTINATION AFRICA” project .
14. ACAPELLA GROUPS, WORLD MUSIC ARTISTES
More artistes will thrive strumming guitars, acapella groups will compete for the spotlight.
We expect breakthroughs , overnight fame and above all 2014, is the year the ground is levelled for healthy career growth. WHO WILL RISE VICTOR? WE ARE WATCHING!
