The Tribe UG was created in a boring lecture and started as a blog (www.thetribeug.blogspot.com) as a result of need to explore/package/present Uganda’s hip-hop/urban culture to the world. Unlike many other entertainment sites and publications, one of The Tribe UG’s aim is to introduce the world to those up and coming in the industry.

With a monthly magazine focusing on Ugandan hip-hop and its elements, in 2016 The Tribe UG embarked on organized the first Ugandan hip-hop awards, the first of their kind in the East African region and the second on the continent. The awards seek to recognize the best in the hip-hop industry, introducing new artists and those challenging the norms in our society with their music and other elements if hip-hop.
