Northern Uganda’s musical sensation, Eric Opoka, known as Eezzy, boldly declares his supremacy over Kampala-based artists in entertaining Northern crowds. Dismissing critics’ claims of his ‘failure’ in the capital, he beams with pride, serving his people.
Eezzy asserts that no one in Kampala can match the prowess of him and his Northern peers. Mentioning Monopoly, Judas, Eddy Wizzy, Lucky Dee, Maros, Bosmic, and Laxzy, he highlights their knack for producing chart-topping hits and electrifying concerts.
Even before his tunes hit Kampala’s airwaves, Eezzy insists he was already a luminary in Northern Uganda, a stage he deems grander than the capital’s scene. He stresses the might and talent of regional artists, urging recognition for their craft.
The Northern Star laments Kampala Media’s bias against regional music, contrasting it with the warm embrace their songs receive locally. He believes this bias stifles regional artists’ chances of breaking into the Kampala market, despite many outselling their capital-based counterparts.
In his plea for respect and recognition, Eezzy underscores the struggle regional artists face in gaining exposure beyond their home turf. He stands firm in his assertion that their music deserves equal footing on national platforms.
Eezzy’s sentiments echo the frustrations of many regional artists battling for visibility in a landscape dominated by Kampala-centric narratives. His words serve as a rallying cry for acknowledgment of Northern Uganda’s vibrant music scene, urging industry gatekeepers to open doors to talent irrespective of geography.
In conclusion, Eezzy’s confident stance reflects not just his personal pride but also a broader call for inclusivity and recognition within Uganda’s music industry. It’s time to acknowledge and celebrate the diversity of talent across the nation’s regions.
