According to Navio, both approaches have value and contribute to the beauty of the art.

He also pointed out that Ugandan musicians have what it takes to compete with Africa’s finest.

Using HipHop as an example, Navio said that Ugandan rappers like BigTril, Tucker HD, or himself can stand their ground against any rapper on the continent.

He concluded by noting, “I would never say that Ugandan musicians are mediocre. Instead, I would say, pick an artiste on the continent, put them against one of our best, and see if they can hold their own.”
