Ugandan firebrand Ecko Bazz lights the fuse on a blistering three-track EP produced by Italian outsiders STILL and Talpah, a collaboration that jolts with raw voltage and unflinching intent

🍍

Ecko Bazz has long been one of Hakuna Kulala’s most ferocious voices, and here he pushes his style further into jagged, unstable territory. His machine-gun Luganda verses are spat with a feral edge, riding the crooked industrialist beats with the kind of energy that recalls early grime’s rudeness while sounding like nothing else out there. STILL and Talpah’s productions splinter between mutant dancehall pulses, serrated drum programming, and bursts of noise, keeping Ecko Bazz constantly in combat mode, always at the brink of eruption.

Opening cut “VAWO MPITEWO” is all teeth and sparks, a concussive two-and-a-half minutes that barely pauses for air. “NSIMBUDDE” wrenches the tension tighter, all unstable percussion and scorched atmospherics, while closer “SIGA ENSIGO” pushes into even more unpredictable zones, its swaggering cadence dissolving into volatile rhythmic fractures.

It’s a short, sharp shock that underlines why Ecko Bazz remains one of the most compelling MCs in the East African underground — a voice that thrives in chaos, sharpened here by two producers who understand the art of keeping things dangerous. Constantly evolving, never settling, this EP is a brutalist reminder that Ecko Bazz doesn’t return quietly — he detonates.
