From Law Books to Live Mics: Lukas Blacc Just Added “LDC Graduate” to His Already Stacked Resume

If you needed proof that one person really can do it all, Next Radio‘s own Lukas Blacc just handed it to you on a silver platter.

The man who wakes Kampala up with laughter on The Next Brunch and turns down the lights every Friday on Friday Night Radio has officially graduated from the Law Development Centre (LDC) today.

Somewhere between his bar course and his recording booth, Lukas Blacc has quietly built one of the most interesting careers in Ugandan media.

Lawyer by day (well, technically by certificate now), radio star and award-winning artiste every other minute of the day. Honestly, does this man sleep?

Wait, He’s a Lawyer Too?

Yes. Read that again. Lawyer.

While most of us know him for his velvety voice on the airwaves or his bars on a beat, Lukas Blacc has been quietly grinding through law school, and today that grind paid off with a certificate from LDC, the final boss of every Ugandan law student’s journey.

It’s the kind of plot twist that makes you sit up. The guy cracking jokes with Dorah Irungi on The Next Brunch and trading laughs with DJ Bugy on Friday nights has, this whole time, also been mastering torts, civil procedure, and legal drafting.

Honestly, Lukas Blacc might be the most “wears too many hats and still looks good in all of them” person in Ugandan entertainment right now.

The Voice That Won Before It Even Had a Mic

Before Next Radio listeners fell in love with him, Lukas Blacc had already proven he had the “it” factor.

He emerged victorious in The Next Big Voice, a nationwide talent search by Next Media that started with over 60 online entries and 62 contestants at physical auditions before narrowing down to a fierce four-way finale against Hannah Arinaitwe, Atim Jane Nyirata, and Cophi Samuels.

He walked away the winner, and Next Radio walked away with one of its brightest presenters yet.

These days, you can catch him bringing that same energy to:

1. The Next Brunch with Dorah Irungi — Monday to Friday, 10 am to 1 pm.

2. Friday Night Radio with DJ Bugy — every Friday, 8 pm to 10 pm.

The Artiste Behind the Mic

Here’s the thing about Lukas Blacc: radio was never going to be the whole story.

Music runs just as deep in him, and he’s been steadily building a catalogue that ranges from Afrobeats to hip-hop to straight-up love songs.

If you’re only discovering this side of him today, here are four tracks to press play on right now:

1. “Don Corleone II” (feat. Navio & Kayvo Kforce) — a heavyweight collaboration that puts Lukas Blacc in the same room as one of Uganda’s most respected lyricists, Navio.

2. “Ring of Roses” — one of his latest singles, smooth and radio-ready, exactly what you’d expect from a man who knows exactly how songs should feel on air.

3. “Crisis” — available as both the original and an acapella version, showing off the raw vocal ability behind the radio voice you already know.

4. “Luv” (feat. Tungi, DNK, Lukas Blacc & Cxnrvd) — off The Village Meeting, Vol. 1 EP, proof that he plays just as well in a group as he does solo.

Add “Busy Girl,” “She Knows,” and his earlier project BoBV to your playlist while you’re at it. The man clearly doesn’t believe in resting.

A Big Congratulations, Counsel

So today, Nile Scoop says it out loud: Congratulations, Lukas Blacc!

From topping the charts of The Next Big Voice to topping his law course at LDC, you’ve shown Uganda exactly what it looks like to chase every passion at full volume: no half measures, no choosing just one lane.

Whether he ends up arguing cases in a courtroom, dropping verses in a studio, or doing what he does best, keeping us company on The Next Brunch and Friday Night Radio, one thing is certain: Lukas Blacc is just getting started, and we can’t wait to see which hat he reaches for next.

Congratulations, Counsel Blacc. The mic, the music, and now the law. You really did that.
