At some point, Ykee Benda put his music on pause and concentrated on promoting Dre Cali. His social media handles had more of Dre Cali’s projects than his personal stuff. His major break-through came after he released ‘Ebisoka Nebisembayo’ and 'Ekifuba' which he says were inspired by real life experiences.

The two jams were among Uganda’s top hits in 2020, thus growing Dre Cali’s brand even further.
