Rapper GNL Zamba, born Earnest Nsimbi Zamba, has announced his decision to return and permanently settle in Uganda with a mission to revive and reshape the nation’s hip-hop scene.
In a social media post, GNL shared his vision of uplifting the Ugandan music industry and providing fresh direction to hip-hop culture.
The CEO of Baboon Forest Entertainment stated that he would be purchasing a one-way ticket to the Pearl of Africa.
This decision, he said, is fueled by his commitment to bring new life, direction, and vision to the industry.
GNL mentioned that hip-hop in Uganda is “underutilized, misunderstood, misanalyzed, criticized, and mismanaged,” despite its potential to educate, empower, and uplift communities.
Dear Forest, I’m buying a one-way ticket to Uganda. It is time to give the culture new life, Direction and Vision. I observe that hip-hop is way too underutilized, misunderstood, misanalyzed, criticized, and mismanaged.
This is yet it has the potential to uplift, educate, communicate and change the trajectory of the youth and communities, opening up infinite opportunities! I’m coming home; hope to see you all.
Together Tunawakilisha.
