Legendary lugaflow rapper Babaluku is one of the most talented and respected artists that have made a huge impact in the Ugandan Hip hop industry.
In a recent interview, Babaluku was tasked to name his best Hip-hop musician and he settled on G.N.L Zamba.
According to him, G.N.L has grown in the system and as such he is more mature than the new crop of Hip-hop artistes.

"Many people have tried to sing but when you try to analyze their craft, it's lacking. G.N.L is almost the only character that I can use to rate Hiphop culture because I know how he started out and what has been able to achieve personally. Even if it gets tough for him sometimes, he still has the voice and I'm sure he can figure it out." Babaluku said in an interview with NBS TV.
As one of the pioneer of this genre, he's one of the first emcees to rap in the native Luganda language rather than English.

Formerly belonging to the Bataka Squad, Babaluku released his Diamonds in the Rough album in 2008.
The project is a summary of Ugandan Hip-hop revolution and covers his journey from early days where he performed in shows across Uganda and eventually rocked festivals in the United States with Michael Franti.
