Ugandan Hip-Hop Stars Drop New Track, “Amnesia,” Aiming for Regional Anthem Status
KAMPALA, Uganda – Ugandan hip-hop artist Navio has collaborated with fellow rapper Flex D’Paper on a new single, “Amnesia,” released this week and quickly gaining traction as a potential party anthem across East Africa.
The track, produced by Bangar Boi, blends nostalgic hip-hop drum patterns with contemporary Afro-dancehall rhythms, creating a vibrant, bass-heavy soundscape designed for clubs and energetic gatherings. Navio delivers verses largely in Luganda, grounding the song in Ugandan culture while maintaining broad appeal. Flex D’Paper’s catchy chorus adds to the song’s replay value.
“Amnesia” is more than just a song; it’s a celebration of urban East African nightlife. The official music video, directed by Sasha Vybz and available on YouTube, showcases Kampala and Nairobi’s vibrant cityscapes, rooftop scenes, and bustling club environments. The video features cameos from prominent entertainment figures including Deejay Bryan, DJ Meek, DJ Zato, Sheila Gashumba, Bien, Nviiri the Storyteller, and Maurice Kirya, highlighting the song’s regional reach.

The release of “Amnesia” comes at a busy time for Navio. He is currently developing a second edition of his “Orchestra Experience,” a live show that successfully combined orchestral arrangements with hip-hop performance at Serena Hotel last year.
Navio has also been actively expanding his international presence with recent performances in Addis Ababa, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi, solidifying his position as a leading hip-hop export from East Africa.
“Amnesia” is now available on major streaming platforms. The song’s success underscores the growing influence of East African music on the global stage, and the power of collaboration in fostering cross-border creative synergy.
