Ugandan reggae & ragga musician and also the Gagamel International CEO Moses Saali popularly known by stage name Bebe Cool has released the end of year 2023 artist list. The silent majority singer recognized the most hardworking artists in the Ugandan music industry for instance those that have had massive hits since the year started.
The singer has also released a new song dubbed only you to kick off 2024 in a new style.
Here is the Bebe Cool List 2023/2024
- Alien Skin
The cardinal duty of a legendary artist like Bebe Cool is to offer guidance, counseling and knowledge to everyone. However it depends on those who choose to positively relate and embrace it. Last year I spoke about Alien Skin with good music but retaliating behavior but this young man took the advice, polished his image which is evident to everyone by his current dress code and public address. Alien Skin is not your normal good artist by vocal capabilities, but rather an impressive creator of his own style with the “I don’t care attitude”. This is important for young people to have confidence and believe in whatever they do, anywhere. Uganda is a land of opportunities and grabbing one is your choice. Alien Skin grabbed his.
Alien has come back on top of this list with two major hit songs; “Party,Twayiseko Dda” followed by several statement songs that might not have made it to clubs and airwaves but were vibrant on social media. Such songs include; “kisunda, Kubalumya Mitwe, Ready Fi War, Obwenzi, I am Me.” He reminds me of the old days of Bebe Cool and Jose Chameleon fresh from Nairobi, not forgetting Bobi Wine when we integrated beef and showbiz into the music. The audience had a lot of things to talk about hence paying attention to our songs. Alien mastered the art of social media and beef, integrating the two into his music, thus sealing this year as the Artist of the Year. Well in my friend, and good luck. - Vinka
Vinka has the biggest song among female artists this year. She has successfully and strategically been positioned by her record company- Swangz- to have big songs with other artists. These include; Believe and Chekecha. Even if she doesn’t own these songs, she shares credit for expertly executing 2 of the best collaborations of 2023. - Dax Vybz (Believe)
I bring him third because I was surprised that such a good song came out from Dax, an individual I thought would not have a vocal range. I was truly surprised with his urban execution despite the fact that he hails from Dangala Komwokya. I credit Dax for this masterpiece, only if he maintains this direction, he’ll surely make it as a surprise among his averagely talented brothers. - Eddy Kenzo (Balipila Boda)
And if up to now you haven’t known who he is, now you should know that this is the typical Eddy Kenzo Style “Balipila Boda” appears on the list as it surprises me and many how it penetrated the audience a hit song is one that is widely embraced by the audience and it is. - Rema Namakula (Tonight)
Rema Namakula this time appears on the list. I have seen her emerge as a young talent. Her success doesn’t surprise me at all. I congratulate her for appearing on the Bebe Cool list 2023 with ‘Tonight’ and I definitely wish her all the best in 2024. - Joshua Baraka (Nana)
“Oooonana baibie ” is one of the biggest songs of 2023, even bigger than the artist himself. This young man with a special talent amongst many is expected to excel but only if he works hard. His music directs to a trending afro –beat sound which the Ugandan audience want to see Ugandan artists engage in. I wish him the very best and am sure he is on the right direction. - Uga Boyz ft Selector Jeff (Salary)
Surely Uganda is an amazing country as the president always says “anyone can survive here”. So many artists came up with ideas but this was the best idea among many. It makes sense depending on how you analyze life. “wabula-Bwenafuna ku salary njakunyulwa e’baala”. - Omega 256 (This Year)
Indeed this year we have a ‘regional’ artist breaking through on the Bebe Cool list against many odds. This shows that you don’t need to hail from Kampala to have a big song in the industry. I want to give flowers to this artist and pledge my support to her whenever she needs it. Congratulations OMEGA 256 and I wish you good luck. - Omutume Planet
The year began at the peak with “Emboozi ya chairman” Creativity from this young man from nowhere, I loved the idea, played on radios social media. The only problem with such songs they are difficult to follow but doesn’t take away the fact that you appear on bebecool list despite the negative “content” my young people enjoy the music but do not imitate contents stay away from drugs. - Kig Saha
With one and a half songs this year, King Saha appears on the Bebe Cool list with Money and maybe “EBISSERA” if given time and thought. Talent with this artist is not questionable and we still wish him the very best in using his great voice. - Gravity Omutujju
As earlier said any one can survive in Uganda, Okwepicha is a viral statement song with a hidden meaning but it has made an impression onto the local ground. Wabuyu appears again. - Vyroota (Risk)
Congratulations, Vyroota for emerging as the breakthrough artist on the Bebe Cool list. Indeed this young man has talent and it’s not the first time I have heard about his name. However, the challenge is upon you to prove because you have competitors in 2024. Embrace them and continue singing nice melodies. Best luck. - Crystal Panda
Down to earth. A good young man. Panda is an extremely hardwording individual who deserves everything. This year on Bebe Cool list, I want to appreciate the consistence and improvement Panda has made. Empele is a big song and Mukisenge is big and growing through into the new year. Congratulations Crystal Panda. I can see a light at the end your tunnel, just like a crystal. All the best my boy.
