Like in football there comes a time when a certain footballer dominates the game; they score the important goals, win all trophies and get all the endorsements.
Christiano Ronaldo and this short
guy Messi are a testament to this.
In Ugandan music, there was a
time we had Chameleon, we literally worshiped everything he penned, I remember
him being the first Ugandan act to grace a city billboard.
We can't say these two have
reached his feet but at the rate Radio and Weasel are going, they are
definitely sweeping everything their way.
They've enjoyed massive
international airplay, recorded a duet with Kenyan songbird Amani, as I pen
this, they are about to rock this year's first eviction show with a couple of
performances.
If you thought they've out done
them selves already, think again, they are not stopping, news reaching the
Observer desk is that the electronic Good Lyfe crew of Radio and Weasel TV have
been nominated in yet another international award show.
This time its the current home of
African music Nigeria. Radio and Weasel have been nominated in the Nigerian
entertainment awards in the best East African category.
Radio and Weasel have been
nominated alongside Kenya's Camp Mulla, P-Unit, DRC's Fally Ipupa, K'Nan and
homeboy Navio.
This adds on the string of
achievements and acceptance the Good lyfe crew is enjoying at the moment.
The Nigerian Entertainment Awards
(NEA) were established in New York in 2006 to serve the growing population of
Africans in the North America. They are aimed at recognizing the contribution
of African entertainers well as promote the image of Nigerian culture.
Nigerian stars like Ice Prince
and Wiz Kid featured prominently on the nominees list.
In the past, the NAE academy has
awarded Nigerian stars like; Banky W, 2face Idibia, MI and internationally
renown Maybach Music rapper Wale.

June 28th while the award show will take place on September 1st in New York.
