Uganda’s Hip Hop scene is what it is today as a result of the artists who have changed the game with their music. Many of them have charged up the scene with their intriguing lyricism and created a niche for themselves as legends in the game. Rapper Lyrical G is such an icon that Uganda`s Hip Hop scene is not ready to let go of. With over 3 decades in the game, he has inspired a long list of UG`s Hip Hop’s biggest names.
The new album titled “OG” marks his 10th body of work. Yes, that’s something. It is a follow-up to his last project, “Geezy”, released back in 2019. While he remains the lyricist we know him to be on the new project, he does a lot of the work himself. Only a few artists contribute to the album.
Off the OG album, is his newest track “OG”, a title track written & produced by Lyrical G himself, recorded by Tryton Muzik and mixed plus mastered by Eazy Tex.
“It basically talks about my time as a hip-hop artiste on the UG Hip-hop scene.. The work I’ve put in, the sh!t I’ve encountered manoeuvring in this game. My longevity and why it is only right that I’m referred to as an OG in the game”, Lyrical G informed this website.
We must confess, it is impressive to see just how much he hasn’t lost touch through the years. But, it also proves that there is no retiring for the Hip Hop star soon.
Quotable lyrics:
“Get a grip young locs once more this is official,
Trust me homie my catalog cannot be equalled,
Since Live from the EA, I’ve been about my business,
Catch a glimpse of all my previous releases, I’ve been consistent ,
It’s GEEZY, they gon’ love me or they gon’ hate me,
Just like the Godfather, they gonna learn to respect me,
To those that gave me my flowers, thank you it’s such an honor , I’m grateful you took the time to appreciate my persona”.
