BEBE COOL LIST 2025
(PART 2)
*Lydia Jazmine
'Kindekele' or any other song off the 16-track The One & Only album may not be massive hits, but credit must be given to Lydia Jazmine for her effort, which resonated with lovers of soft music.
Investing in an album is intentional and elevates an artist to a more professional level. At tables dominated by men, musicians speak albums—not singles. That’s why I don’t need a huge song to recognize Lydia Jazmine in 2025.
*FYNO – Che Che
He has written many hit songs for others, yet unbelievably, it took him years to land a big song for himself—according to my team.
I honestly don’t know him personally, but I enjoyed Che Che. Some people just need their prayers answered.
Please God, answer this guy’s prayers.
*Vinka – Lala
Vinka makes this list with Lala. In my opinion, it was beautifully executed—vocally calm and sweet.
Sometimes, I simply want to appreciate good music. Without a doubt, it’s hard not to mention Vinka on the Bebe Cool List.
*Ray G – Ow’ishe
Ray G knocked on the door with Ow’ishe, although the success he enjoyed in 2024 surpasses his 2025 output.
Nevertheless, this young man continues to soar.
*Uncle Chumi – Gwokute Gobba
Sometimes, people can turn their weaknesses into strengths and live better lives. What others may see as a flaw can be converted into an advantage.
Gwokute Gwobba, gwakute gwa bba.
Yaba.
*Sheebah
Sheebah Karungi—welcome back from maternity leave.
Credit to the effort made during your comeback. Somebody may not be a massive song, but the effort brought you back into the spotlight and was recognized by the fan base.
A one-year break is not easy.
Congratulations on your child.
*Tracy Melon
Tracy Melon is a trending name without a clearly outstanding hit. I honestly don’t know any of her songs, but I must admit her name is everywhere.
COLLABOS
The following are the best collaborations of 2025, with my most outstanding being:
*See You Tonight – Cindy Sanyu & Omega 256
Legendary superstar Cindy Sanyu—the King herself—is unstoppable. Cindy is not someone to challenge musically. I’m never surprised when she releases a big song because that’s what I expect of her.
Her combination with a fresh and highly promising Western artist, Omega 256, was perfect. Their voices blended beautifully.
If I were to choose the song of 2025, it would be between this, Wrong Places by Joshua Baraka, or Ekyange by Elijah Kitaka.
I leave that debate to you.
Other collaborations of the year:
*Kapati – Alien Skin & Naxx
*Wanula – Ava Peace & Temperature
*Ekisododo – Lil Pazo & Latinum
*Misolo Boka– Mad King ft Nandor Love
CONCLUSION
2025 has been weaker than 2024; 2024 was weaker than 2023; and 2023 was weaker than 2022. The Bebe Cool Lists from those years clearly show this trend when comparing song numbers and artist quality.
This indicates a worrying general decline in the industry—yet with quality studios like Gagamel Records, gifted to us by President Yoweri Museveni, things should be improving.
This decline is mainly caused by:
1. Laziness
2. Low—and sometimes false—confidence
3. Lame excuses
4. Drug abuse
At age 23, I travelled to Nairobi by bus and hustled in a country where I knew no one. Uganda then had fewer than 50 radio stations, fewer than 10 TV stations, and no social media. Still, I hustled, made good music, supported brothers like Jose Chameleone, teamed up with Bobi Wine, collaborated across East Africa with Wyre and Nazizi, recorded global hits like Fire Anthem, Kube, and Fire Burn, won Kora Awards, received MOBO nominations, and performed on global stages like 46664 for Nelson Mandela.
Because of music and hard work, I met global icons such as Nelson Mandela, Will Smith, Chris Rock, Amy Winehouse, and Lewis Hamilton and many others.
Today, many Ugandan artists focus only on the local scene—which isn’t bad—but it’s too small given today’s advantages: more radio stations, social media, better technology, and government support.
BEBE COOL LIST 2025 LOADING....
Happy holidays to you all! I hope 2025 has treated you well, and I wish you a prosperous 2026.
Now that I have your UNDIVIDED attention, allow me direct your focus onto the Uganda music industry.
It's that time of the year again—a tradition where we shine a spotlight on musicians who, in MY OPINION, have stood out and made significant contributions to the music industry in 2025.
Over the years,we've celebrated the best for their hard work and impressive art.
As usual, MY OPINION (and my team's) counts for 60%, while you, the fans, bring the energy with 40%.
Get into the comments and tell us: who are your favorite artists and songs of 2025, and why?
The Bebe Cool List 2025 goes live on January 1, 2026. Stay tuned!
Today morning, I joined Thomas Thor the founder of El Cambio Football Academy in Masaka City to welcome President Yoweri Museveni as he officially opened the new El Cambio Football Academy training Facility aimed at nurturing young talent and promoting sports development in the region.
The academy has a vision to change lives on and off the field and provide education, Football plus character development to its students.
El Cambio Football Academy has already gained recognition, with some of its players representing Uganda in international competitions including the recent CHAN 2024 tournament, Afcon tournament happening now in Morocco and 2 of its players have signed professional contracts with Danish top flight club AGF.
The academy is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including a standard size artifical soccer turf, school, dormitories, gym, medical room, Video analysis room, trophy cabinet, kitchen name it.
Its mission aligns with President Museveni and NRM's emphasis on sports development, as he has been instrumental in promoting sports infrastructure growth in Uganda, including the construction of stadiums like Hoima City Stadium and Akii-Bua Olympic Stadium.
