Social Media celebrates Ugandan Hip Hop with #42DaysOfUGHipHop hashtag – see best of Day 1
It’s safe to say Ugandan Hip Hop is taking over Twitter for 42 Days and more
Social Media has the ability to transcend bad and great ideas. The idea of #42DaysOfUGHipHop is gaining traction as I write.
An idea to share and celebrate
Ugandan Hip Hop for 42 days was evoked yesterday by a tweet from one Twitter user @MadMudokolo as he Suggested to his following to use 42 days to discover more Ugandan Hip Hop. His tweet later was quoted by Ugandan rapper, The Mith who went ahead to suggest the usage of the hashtag #42DaysOfUGHipHop. The Mith also @ted other media platforms seeking their thoughts on this idea.
Use these 42 days to get acquainted to some dope UG HipHop.

I released this song at a time when the world lost hope due to the Covid 19 pandemic. It's titled "Twere" an acoli word for "it's possible"

By the time I was writing this piece, over 15 Ugandans on Twitter (mostly) and other social platforms had memories to share. Most of them joined in on Day 2, and the posts are reminding us of the “Golden Era of UG Hip Hop”.
One thing about this initiative is that it’s helping bridge the gap between the old and young, plus giving room for fans to discover what they might have missed.
Proud to be part of this moment
See you in the Tweets and posts. #42DaysOfUGHipHop.
