Celebrated Ugandan musician Ykee Benda has explained the conceptualization of his latest hit ‘Radio Man’ featuring Weasel, noting that the jam was inspired by how music lovers place their requests for songs on radio.

According to Benda, instead of calling a station and placing his request, he decided to compile a song and use it to pass his message to the ‘Radio Man’.

"I wanted to bring out the picture of requesting for a song on radio just like fans call on stations to request for our songs; so I wanted to sing this out. Instead of calling the DJ, I decided to round this up in one song, Radio Man,” Ykee said.
