Watch the video clip and read the description that was attached it:
This is Humanity Hip Hop- STOP WITH THE RACIST BULLSHIT. WAKE UP. WE ARE TRYING TO BREAK DOWN THE WALLS NOT BUILD MORE. THINK GLOBAL. UNITE THE YOUTH. *UGANDAN HIP HOP DOCUMENTARY COMING SOON*
directed by Brett Mazurek
Produced by Subterranean Network.com & Moving Talking Pictures
Diamonds in the Rough offers a raw glimpse of urban Africa through the eyes of
four emerging Hip Hop artists in the Ugandan capitol of Kampala. They teach us
how to struggle with a smile, how to make the best of life against insufferable odds,
how to create our own opportunities and flourish through positivity, presenting a
refreshing contrast to the commercialized ‘bling bling’ gangster rap here in America.
These artists are the voice of the new generation, the heroes of their community
and a group of active, enthusiastic and energetic young people more concerned
with global change then how much change they have in their pockets.

This video looks great. And it echoes what is happening in cities across Africa. Although we see things in terms of race in the west, African rap is above all about young Africa empowering itself. They know they can expect absolutely nothing from us. They are not waiting for anything. They are getting up and doing their thing for their own people – organising shwos, recording, speaking out, organising festivals, etc.
Other names to look out for Pee Froiss, Fresk, Didier Awadi, Lord Ekomy Ndong.
