Last weekend was a big one for the Hip Hop fraternity in Uganda. The best rappers were recognized in the annual MTN UG Hip-Hop awards. It took place at the MTN headquarters starting at 5 pm till late.

The Ugandan Hip Hop Awards (commonly abbreviated as UGHHA) are an annual hip hop award ceremony, that celebrates achievements within the Ugandan hip hop culture. The annual presentation ceremony features performances by artists, and some of the awards of more popular interest are presented.

The UGHHA is dedicated to providing a fair platform for all Ugandan Hip-hop acts, through an awards show that showcases the past, present and the future of the genre in Uganda.

The UGHHA is a voice for performers, songwriters, producers, videographers, engineers and every other professional who work tirelessly.
The UGHHA, most importantly, is a celebration of a genre that relentlessly pushes the boundaries and uplifts Ugandan culture.

This was the 6th edition of the prestigious awards and it seeks to celebrate and amplify the growth of the hip-hop music industry which is predominantly composed of the youth in Uganda.

The Hip Hop fraternity has always been placed between the street corners, all the way to the glossy lighting of the stadium. This is not going to just be an award ceremony but revelers will have a chance to watch some of their biggest artiste perform while rap battles will also take centre stage during the evening.
