After last year’s unfortunate circumstances which left us without her incandescent presence, we are happy to present MC Yallah live at Supersonic 2024. Nyege Nyege artist MC Yallah will be delivering her rapid and tightly controlled flow alongside futuristic hip-hop, grime, punk and trap with Debmaster. MC Yallah’s lyrics draw from real-life experiences and often address women’s issues spreading a powerful message of integrity and self-determination, delivered in a range of languages including Kiswahili, Luganda, English and Luo.
Born in Kenya and raised in Uganda, MC Yallah has been in the East African underground hip-hop scene for 25 years, her conscious, poetic and experimental style crept slowly into Uganda’s mainstream. On stage, she delivers a high energy performance and stands out with a bright, colourful aesthetic.
“Excavating cavernous space with brick tonne bass, ticking drums and ominous synthesis, Debmaster keeps Yallah’s urgent delivery front and centre, as the MC switches between Luganda, Luo, Kiswahili and English. “Where is the love?” she questions. “I believe if we had genuine love for ourselves and each other this world would be in a better place.” – Fact Mag
