BSG Labongo Spits more Fire: Gulu Concerts Need a Fresh Beat

Gulu City’s concert scene has hit a rut, and it’s a rut the people are tired of. Same venues, same lineups, and the same well-worn stages have left concert-goers yawning. This weekend’s much-anticipated concert headlined by Rudeboy should’ve been a golden opportunity to showcase the North’s top-tier talent. But, as renowned artist BSG Labongo bluntly pointed out, the lineup lacks the local flavor and talent that could truly elevate the event.

Northern Uganda, specifically Gulu, has an abundance of gifted musicians, but for some reason, the same small group of performers always ends up in the spotlight, taking the stage over and over again. It’s like clockwork, with mainstream acts who may not even resonate with the local vibe being given the spotlight, while incredibly talented, homegrown artists are sidelined. Labongo isn't alone in voicing his frustration; fans have been echoing these sentiments, pointing out that it’s time for Gulu’s music scene to step up and shine, highlighting artists who have made waves in their community and beyond.

When international or national artists visit, they come to Gulu, perform, and leave with the impression that there’s little musical talent here. This isn’t due to a lack of talent but rather a lack of proper representation. Imagine the impact if a concert featured Steve Jay Omar, Big Mosh, Conspiano, Klex-B, and Akello alongside giants like Leo PaLayeng Kenna, Tempra Aka Omona, and Eezy. This isn’t just about showcasing big names but about fostering an environment where local talent can challenge and even complement the visiting “GOATs.” These artists bring a distinct flavor, a representation of Luo culture and life, that can’t be matched by imported acts.

By ignoring Northern Uganda’s hidden gems, concert organizers are doing more harm than they realize. Events lacking a proper mix of local and visiting talents fail to capture Gulu’s unique spirit, leaving the audience feeling disconnected and unsatisfied. And as Labongo stresses, this isn’t just about the current lineup; it’s about a pattern of malicious or, at the very least, shortsighted behavior from event organizers and industry insiders. By playing it safe with tried-and-tested acts, they’re undermining the best that Gulu has to offer, forcing its top talents to sit in the shadows rather than grow in the spotlight.

BSG Labongo, a powerhouse in the region’s music industry, has called out this neglect and poor selection as the root of Northern Uganda’s music scene stagnation. His message is clear: if concert organizers don’t start including diverse, homegrown talent, Gulu’s music scene will lose its edge. To the loyal fans who want more than just a lineup of mainstream repeats, Labongo’s words hit home. The call for change resonates widely, as he advocates for a fresher, truer representation of Luo Land.

If the concert organizers want to make a lasting impact and attract audiences who crave authenticity, they’ll need to stop playing it safe. It’s high time the talented artists of Northern Uganda are given a fair shot at the big stages in Gulu, sharing the limelight and putting their hometown on the map for all the right reasons.

Gulu Slay Queens: Why Rudeboy may bring His Wife for December Concert!

It’s a hot Saturday night in Gulu, and the fellas just want to unwind at BJZ, Kweyo Village Shoppers, Masaki, or Password. But, as much as they look forward to the night, certain encounters can sometimes make them consider early retirement from the nightlife altogether. Rumor has it Rudeboy himself from Nigeria is thinking of bringing his wife along to shield him from these Real Life Forcers. Here’s a light-hearted dive into the quirks that make guys in Gulu groan…

1. Dishonesty or Deception
Picture this: you’re at BJZ, chatting up a girl who claims she’s got a high-profile job, only for her to reveal three cocktails in that she’s “influencing” more than influencing. She reassures you that her purse matches her lifestyle, but when the waiter brings the bill, it’s “Oops, I forgot my bag at home.” It’s like every slay queen has a master’s degree in misdirection! Suddenly, guys find themselves checking their wallets, and let’s just say they understand why Rudeboy is bringing a personal assistant—just in case.

2. Self-centeredness

The fellas say this: bring a slay queen to Kweyo Village Shoppers, and soon you’re basically paying to be her personal photographer. Every five minutes, she’s arranging her pose, touching up makeup, and asking, “Do I look perfect?” With the DJ hyping the crowd in the background, you start to realize she’s more invested in impressing her Instagram followers than in the actual night out. You may have paid for a date, but you’re stuck holding her selfie ring light!

3. Lack of Accountability or Responsibility

Here’s how it goes: You’re standing there at Password, listening to a story about her latest “toxic” ex. But it’s never her fault. She misplaced her phone? It’s the bartender’s fault. Late to an event? Blame the DJ for “changing the time.” After a while, you’re left wondering if this is just a masterclass in avoiding responsibility. Imagine Rudeboy’s crew dealing with this and learning how many “misunderstandings” make up a typical Gulu nightlife story.

4. Disrespecting Others' Time or Priorities
Sincerely, daddies don’t have time to babysit, whine and beg. It’s no secret that slay queens run on their own clocks—fashionably late doesn’t even begin to cover it. You plan to meet at Masaki at 9 p.m. sharp, and she arrives at midnight, claiming, “I was getting ready.” To top it off, she expects you to have stayed in the same spot waiting! After all, what’s a guy’s time compared to a three-hour beauty ritual? Rudeboy, you better get your O’clock if you’re stepping into this arena.

5. Unreliability or Inconsistency
When it comes to commitment, these slay queens have mastered the art of spontaneous cancellation. Picture this: you’re dressed to the nines, about to head out, and her texts, “I don’t feel like going out anymore.” Cue the crushing realization that you’re back to square one. The unpredictable nature of these encounters is why Gulu’s guys are starting to think Rudeboy’s idea of bringing his wife isn’t so bad after all.

6. Gossiping or Spreading Rumors
Nothing escapes the radar of a Gulu slay queen. From who wore what at last week’s party to the latest scandal, they know it all and are eager to fill you in. You’d think you were part of a live tabloid subscription. And by the end of the night, you realize that half the city has been dissected. Guys find themselves feeling a bit like celebrities too, knowing they’re likely the next subject of discussion.

7. Being Overly Critical

Take her to a bar, and suddenly she’s an interior designer, a fashion consultant, and a critic of every DJ set. She won’t just order a drink; she’ll comment on the glasses, the playlist, and the bar staff’s “vibe.” For guys who just want to relax, it’s like taking a critic on an all-expenses-paid review session. Word is that Rudeboy’s prepping a checklist of things he can’t mention so he doesn’t accidentally offend the Queen.

8. Not Listening

Guys know the drill: they start talking about their day or their plans, and the slay queen’s eyes glaze over. A notification pops up, and suddenly she’s in another world. Her phone gets more engagement than any heartfelt conversation. By the end of the night, you’re not even sure if she remembers your name. No wonder Rudeboy’s thinking of bringing his Mrs.—at least she’d pretend to care!

9. being Consistently Late or Unreliable
To the Gulu slay queen, punctuality is an abstract concept. When she says, “I’m on my way,” you know she’s still choosing an outfit. Saturday night outings are a high-stakes waiting game. Word of advice: grab a drink and bring a book, because you’re in for a wait. Rudeboy’s advisors are probably drafting a full evening itinerary to avoid even a minute wasted. Dont come late to Rudeboy's concert too!

10. Using Manipulative Tactics
Finally, there’s the art of “accidentally” forgetting to split the bill, or pulling out the puppy eyes when they want something. The more you hang around, the more you start noticing the subtle hints, the careful “Oh, but I didn’t bring cash!” Guys know the drill: if they fall for it, they’re stuck funding yet another all-girls night out. It’s no wonder that, despite their love for a good party, Rudeboy’s contemplating a plus-one for backup support.

“Send Transport,” They Say… But Will They Show Up?

Every Gulu guy knows the classic “send transport” request. It’s a simple deal: you’re excited, thinking tonight is the night you’ll finally hang out with that slay queen you’ve been chatting up. You send over the transport money, expecting to see her show up looking her best. You wait...and wait...and finally, when she doesn’t show up, you get the “Sorry, something came up!” text. Disappointment aside, the real punchline comes when you realize this wasn’t about making it to your meet-up at all! Rumor has it that transport money sometimes turns into a quick supper or emergency groceries—maybe a little cooking oil or a bag of maize flour to stock up the kitchen.

“Bathroom Breaks” or… The Three-Guy Relay?

Here’s a golden rule, my friend: if your date keeps excusing herself after every single bottle of beer, you might want to rethink your strategy. She maybe serving Digits everytime she Goes Off to the Loos.When she says, “Let me go to pee,” chances are she’s not just making a quick trip to the restroom. Nope—she’s making the rounds, because why stick to one guy’s table when you can triple your drink stash across three?

For the Gulu nightlife pros, this isn’t news. It’s a classic “one stone, three birds” scenario. And if you’re sitting there, loyal as ever, waiting on her return, you’re playing it too straight. The move here? Either hatch an exit plan or keep your own options open—Option B or C, no need to go as far as D (we don’t want to get competitive!). Just remember, if she’s tagging multiple tables in one night, maybe it’s time to raise a toast to a night well played and keep it moving, my guy.

To all the brave hearts who still hit the town, here’s to surviving the Gulu nightlife scene! Whether you’re at BJZ or Kweyo Village, may your nights be free of waiting games and mysteriously missing wallets.

Is Gulu’s Timcence the New National RapGod? Listen to Can Anyeba.

If your city doesn’t have its own Nasty C, then it’s time you visit Gulu! Timcence has not only put Gulu on the map but is raising Uganda’s flag across the continent. Originally, we thought we’d dive into his latest track, Can Anyeba, but that felt like leaving a meal half-eaten. So, we sifted through his catalog and found two other gems that deserved the spotlight: Crypto and Rap Don’t Pay the Bills. Let’s buckle up and take this musical journey! Not forgetting both his national and local Hiphop Awards he has garnered through the years in the industry.

 The ‘Get Real’ Rap Anthem: Rap Don’t Pay the Bills

Timcence’s Rap Don’t Pay the Bills hits like a reality check. Here’s a track that reminds every aspiring rapper and dreamer that while passion is powerful, it doesn’t exactly cover rent. He’s keeping it real: until you hit the big leagues or get that coveted record deal, it’s a smart move to hold down a “real job” while you chase the spotlight. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but the truth is, balancing music and a side hustle builds a sturdy foundation. For every verse you write and beat you lay down, having that grind on the side isn’t just survival—it’s ensuring long-term success. The hustle fuels the music, and Timcence’s message is a pep talk with teeth.

Ahead of His Time: Crypto and the Art of Smart Hustle

For a young rapper to tackle a subject like crypto, Timcence is clearly thinking beyond today. While others might rap about familiar topics, he’s out here diving into digital finance, blending hip-hop with the new currency game. In Crypto, he spits, “I’m all the life,” catching that high-energy, high-risk spirit that crypto embodies. Instead of preaching pure hard work, he’s shifting the narrative to smart work—making moves that matter, staying in step with changing times, and taking calculated risks. This kind of mindset doesn’t just set him apart but sends a message to other artists: success in music isn’t just about flow; it’s about vision and adapting to the future. In a world of followers, Timcence is proving he’s one to lead.

Local Beats, Global Flow: Can Anyeba Goes Hard

But let’s get back to what brought us here: Can Anyeba is a masterpiece that takes things to a whole new level. Produced by Timcence himself and written by Otim Innocent, the track effortlessly blends traditional Ugandan culture with modern trap. Sampling from Kic Waa by Ogwang Clipper, Timcence weaves the Nanga tune right into a trap beat—something few artists can execute without sounding forced. He creates a musical bridge between past and present, local and global, and the result is a sound that’s uniquely his own.

 A ‘Grind or Get Left Behind’ Message for the Youth

In Can Anyeba, Timcence addresses the dreams of today’s youth who want the high life—good women, fancy things—but aren’t willing to put in the hard work to achieve them. His message is equal parts critique and motivation: if you want something real, it takes real effort. The song doesn’t just slap; it’s a call for everyone listening to step up and stop expecting success on a silver platter. Through his lyrics and rhythms, Timcence encourages a generation to chase dreams with intention, to build real foundations, and to work for what they want. Can Anyeba is more than a hit; it’s an anthem that speaks to the hustle and ambition of every young person out there grinding for a better future.

 More Than Music: A Movement for All Kumalians

With these songs, Timcence is sending a clear message to Kumalians and beyond: this isn’t just about music. It’s about representing a culture, a city, and a way of life that’s about hard work, dedication, and smart choices. Timcence’s music is more than just rhythm and rhyme; it’s a rallying cry for everyone in Gulu, Uganda, and anyone with a dream. He’s bringing Gulu into the hip-hop conversation with a voice that’s fresh, raw, and unapologetically real.

For My City: Gulu's Homage to Hip-Hop Royalty

Timcence’s other track, For My City, features the iconic Judas Rapknowledge, blending modern flows with the wisdom of a hip-hop legend. It’s the kind of track that defines a city’s heartbeat, capturing Gulu’s pride and grit. With two generations of Ugandan hip-hop uniting, this song isn’t just a track; it’s a declaration that Gulu is ready for the big leagues.

Kic Waa's Influence: The Backbone of Can Anyeba

Can Anyeba cleverly samples Kic Waa by Ogwang, adding a rich layer of cultural texture to the track. This connection not only pays homage to a great local artist but also highlights Timcence's ability to blend traditional sounds with modern trap vibes. However, with sampling comes the question of clearance, and we’re all eagerly waiting for confirmation. Let’s hope everything is squared away so this anthem can shine bright!

Jones: The Hottest Photographer In the North breaking Boundaries

The hottest photographer in Gulu City is taking the media world by storm exactly like the famous V16 Engine Warthog, the most underrated king of the jungle.

Are you thinking of spotlighting him or his work on your blog? Forget the lion—Jones is the new apex predator in town, with his trusty camera as his claws. From Monday to Sunday, Paluo Photography Studio is packed to the brim with everyone who’s anyone (or who just wants to be someone). Ruth, Bathsheba, and all the concubines of King Solomon are flocking to his studio faster than you can say “perfect lighting,” if you catch my drift.

Ladies’ Man Behind the Lens

Let’s get one thing straight: Jones edits ladies’ photos with the kind of TLC (tender loving care) that most men can only dream of giving. Every guy who’s ever dared to visit his studio complains that their photos are nowhere near as well-edited as the ladies’. Coincidence? We think not. It’s not just about the camera—it’s about understanding what the people want, and trust me, the ladies know Jones delivers. With his studio conveniently perched above Centenary Bank Main Gulu Market Branch, he’s easy to find. But good luck getting an appointment—demand for his magic touch is through the roof.

Photography for Peanuts, But Art for the Ages

Jones is redefining the term “value for money.” His prices are low, but his work? Pure gold. If you want top-tier photos at a fraction of what you'd pay in the capital, you know where to go. Paluo Photography has already become the go-to studio for everyone who knows that looking good on social media is an essential in 2024. Did we mention he’s branching out into videography, too? Weddings, music videos, major events—Jones has already made a name for himself in these circles, and his trajectory is nothing short of meteoric.

Greetings from Paluo: The Mighty Rivals

Jones, ever the witty photographer, decided to throw in some playful jabs. In his latest shoot, he cheekily sent warm greetings to his fellow photography studios, Mighty Inno and New World Photography. While he respects their craft, Jones knows that the crown is firmly on his head. But hey, we love the rivalry—it only makes Gulu’s photography scene hotter. Keep the competition going, Jones. It only makes your throne shine brighter.

Lights, Camera, Action: The Videography Revolution

As if his photography game wasn’t strong enough, Jones is now venturing into videography, and the results are already jaw-dropping. He’s already made waves in the wedding scene, with couples clamoring to have him capture their big day. And let’s not forget the music videos. Jones has worked with some of the hottest local artists, ensuring that their visuals match the energy and vibe of their music. Don’t be shocked when you see the next viral video out of Northern Uganda stamped with the Paluo Photography logo.
