It features some very gorgeous Ugandan ladies and of course KLEAR KUT.

At least they were thought-provoking when Tom The Mith and I first had the conversation.<br />
<br />
I'm a huge admirer of The Mith and the path his career is taking. I know that should he keep his foot on the peddle he will have the legacy of a founding father of Uganda's hip-hop movement. More than Uganda actually, Kora would suggest the entire Continent. The influence that The Mith and his peers (Danny aka Navio, Abba, and Keko for whom a special mantle is reserved) have cannot be underestimated. Perhaps more important than influencing the lives of young Africans or providing the rhythm, beats and soul of our times, today's artistes are ambassadors of our continent. In a world of YouTube, Facebook, SoundCloud, Twitter and digital radio stations, the dissemination of information of any sort is almost immediate and definitely so far-reaching that it has already toppled governments and launched the careers of some of the most powerful careers in the global music industry (ask The Beiber - whether or not you're a believer!) There's no need to labour the point.<br />
<br />
So, in spite of my lifelong love affair with The Mith and his hustle, I've still got beef with him and his ilk. With the aforementioned stage illuminated, why o why do our hip hop stars fail ever so miserably to project an accurate image of this here beautiful continent, its people and its times. Why do I have to be staring at borrowed Bentleys, poorly styled video vixens and Jay-Z imitating posturing when I watch our videos. Yeah, it's hip hop and it may go without saying that the genre is predominantly about meteoritic rises from nothing to untold wealth and exposure. I can understand the excitement and subsequent servings of Marcy to TriBeCa images, from American artistes. Why a Bentley would turn up in a Ugaflow video is beyond me. I don't mean to be too literal with the automobile but I don't think that our version of aspiration and success is of that exact fabric.<br />
<br />
Whilst I'm not asking The Mith to have his videos set against a backdrop of rolling savannah, littered with starving children or any other cliched concepts of the continent, I think that these might sadly be closer to our Truth. The Mith's question to me is then, what exactly my version of the African Dream is. What would my ultimate aspirations be?<br />
<br />
I might be the wrong person to ask on the one hand but like many I think I would zero in on a complex but less blingy dream. The basic human desire to survive, have good health, progeny and dignity take on a different form when, for the vast majority of Africans, these very things are threatened everyday by thriving parasites, both microscopic and homo sapiens. Everything from malaria to senile dictatorships and their failed interpretations of service in government make the African Dream so far beyond the money, the cars, the clothes and the hos.<br />
<br />
What would my African Dream be? It would certainly be more utilitarian. It would be for better service from our leaders in the perhaps vain hope that they would fashion social economic conditions that allowed the Marcy to Tribeca transition to be less of a joke and more of a reality. How is The Mith to create this imagery? It isn't beyond the realm of his possibilities and it certainly would come cheaper than sourcing a Maybach in Kampala (yeah, I've upgraded :D).<br />
<br />
Sidebar: I've got to give props to Navio for 'Nawulilanga' and The Mith for 'Where I'm From'. Navio's video was nicely styled but more importantly reflective of the traditional song on which his track is based. The lyrical content of 'Where I'm from' is so relatable to many lives in the country.<br />
<br />
So whilst my dream might involve a radical change in government perhaps, I'm not asking The Mith to take up office. He is however in prime position to challenge those that are or can be such leaders. He is in prime position to show the world that beyond Band Aid and safaris, there is an Africa that is thinking, hopeful, progressive in a fashion that isn't regurgitative but unique and honest.<br />
<br />
All this isn't to say that The Mith cannot show or tell us abt his Friday night aspirations, help us party or transport us into relaxation. He can. But he and all artistes shd be frighteningly aware of their ambassadorships and the mandate that comes with them. They should all be aware that their appeal will still be of shared aspiration tailored to voice the dreams of a voiceless many.<br />

</span></i></div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">LAST Friday evening, basketball players encountered their fans in an evening of interactive fun and games.<br />
<br />
This was not the usual Friday Night Lights you may have heard of — nothing to do with the famed American football series in the US. This was the Friday Night Lights at Wandegeya, YMCA basketball court.<br />
<br />
With the main basketball season over, the Friday Night Lights involves basketball pros taking on fans in a series of brief and entertaining games as part of a greater goal to encourage skills transfer, sharing as well as interaction.<br />
<br />
There was the hip-hop music to dance to and young and beautiful ladies dressed fashionably, as if headed straight to a night club. These added glamour to the event.<br />
<br />
The ladies cheered the teams made up of tall and sturdy basketball players as well as their fans. Entry was free for the ladies while the men parted with sh3,000.<br />
<br />
Teams won token prizes of cash and beer. The top prize was sh750,000 for the fan that could successfully make a centre shot and score.<br />
<br />
This was quite a challenge for those that made an effort to make a winning shot from the centre of the court. At the end, no one made it.<br />
<br />
Next week, the prize goes higher by 250,000 to become 1,000,000 for a fan who can make a winning shot.<br />
<br />
While fans, especially the ladies, could not get enough of Klear Kut rapper, The Mith’s hip-hop performance, they may have found Rabadaba more entertaining.<br />
<br />
He teased them with his dances and reached out to them to sing along with him.<br />
<br />
If one did not understand the rules of the game, they at least got the cue when to cheer the best teams.<br />
<br />
With many young people looking out for where to ‘happen’ on a Friday evening, they seemed to have found a new companion in Friday Night Lights. </span></i><br />

<br />
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Wildlife experts are trying to solve a mystery that evoked images of the apocalypse: Why did more than 3,000 red-winged blackbirds tumble from the Arkansas sky shortly before midnight on New Year's Eve?<br />
<br />
Scientists are investigating whether fireworks, poison or bad weather might have forced the birds out of the sky, or if a disoriented bird simply led the flock into the ground.<br />
<br />
"We have a lot more questions," said Karen Rowe, an ornithologist with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. She said there are documented cases of birds becoming confused and plunging to earth.<br />
<br />
Residents of the small town of Beebe, northeast of Little Rock, awoke Saturday to find thousands of dead blackbirds littering a 1.5-square-mile area. The birds inexplicably dropped dead, landing on homes, cars and lawns. Cleanup crews wore white suits, gas masks and rubber gloves as they spent the holiday weekend gathering the carcasses.<br />
<br />
The birds will not be missed. Large blackbird roosts like one at Beebe can have thousands of birds that leave ankle- to knee-deep piles of droppings in places.<br />
<br />
Nearly a decade ago, state wildlife officials fired blanks from shotguns and cannons to move a roost of thousands of blackbirds from Beebe, but in recent years many of the migratory birds returned.</span> </i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0e0e0e;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0e0e0e;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Bird carcasses were shipped to the Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission and the National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, Wis. Researchers in Georgia also asked for a set of the dead birds. Test results could be back in a week.<br />
<br />
Rowe said many of the birds suffered injuries from striking the ground, but it was not clear whether they were alive when they hit.<br />
<br />
Blackbirds have notoriously bad eyesight. If startled at night, they could easily fly into the ground, Rowe said. A few grackles and a couple of starlings were also among the dead. Those species roost with blackbirds, particularly in winter.<br />
<br />
"Every dog and cat in the neighborhood that night was able to get a fresh snack that night," Rowe said. </span> </i></span></i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0e0e0e;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0e0e0e;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">They were poisoned because the officials were trying to control the number of birds in their area.</span></span><br />

<br />
"It looks like they just swam in the wrong direction and ended up in a corner of the pier that doesn't have any free-flowing oxygen in it," Hughan said.<br />
<br />
"There's nothing that appears to be out of sorts, no oil sheen no chemicals, no sign of any kind of illegal activity," Hughan said. "As one fisherman just told me, this is natural selection."<br />
<br />
A skip loader then carried them to big trash bins. Officials initially estimated there were millions of fish, but Fish and Game roughly estimated about a million.<br />
<br />
City officials estimated the cleanup would cost $100,000. Fire Chief Dan Madrigal said the fish would be taken to a landfill specializing in organic materials. King Harbor Marina provides 850 boat slips to private vessels.</span> <br />

I guess that's why when Arnold said "I'll be back", we were taken aback.We all knew he was going to kill dude, but he just let us know he was going to be back, so now we wanted to know the How, the When and in What way.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To me, when a concept comes up that I have to write about, I think, How am I going to capture the listener's attention?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And the more important question, when? When am I going to make the listener feel like we all did when Arnold did when he said, "I'll be back"?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">That to me is the most important. And I realised early in my writing, the "When" is immediately.</span><br />

It's very simple. I was born on September 8th (1990 :-)) and I started conceptualizing my album in the month of September 2005.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">A couple of weeks before P-Tech passed away.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">Originally, the album was supposed to center around my life. From my early days in Safari Kindergarten, to now. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">But I realised THAT album would be hard to digest and equally hard to deliver in Uganda. So that idea was thrown in the backseat and the punchlines, metaphors, wit, tough talk and all the sleekness and charm in me took the front seat.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">The album though shouldn't be dismissed because of that. No. It's definitely going to be a more rounded album than what most people listen to. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">Definitely going to draw from a lot of what the Ugandan public goes through. It has to really. That's the only life I have known, lived.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">The Week Of September, or TWOS as I call it, (I'm really a Hillsider deep down) is real life. So I'm treating it that way. I get angry. I get happy. I get boisterous. I get bossy, shit. I damn near get horny on this album. Basically, I get real. Hope you will like what I deliver.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
