He's a breakthrough act so I didn't expect him to immediately release such a big tune in that short time. Most breakthrough artists release songs and wait for like 6months to put out another huge club banger. Munakampala is a song of this guy who doesn't care about what a girl has to her name. This is true love. Ykee Benda penned this song and she's describing this Kampala girl that has got him paralysed. "Munakampala wa nsanyaalaza" . In this error of social media with almost every girl trying to look like Kim or Luzinda, Ykee teaches us that all that fame doesn't matter when it comes to issues of the heart.

MUNA'KAMPALA - YKEE BENDA the RADIO WAVES BENDER
This a mad chune people. When I say 'mad' you may think its just a tune Ykee wants you to bend to when in your kafuunda, or in a club. Ykee Benda in an interview on Capital FM said this doubles as soothing song at the same time. The vocals and the urban touch are all on point. It's a song you can dedicate to your girl who stays in Bwaise and she'll for a moment forget about the females (anopheles) and be proud of Kampala. Tweeps were tweeting about the song and that's how I got to know the track. The Ugandan in me had hesitated to activate that Tooti bundle and download the song. Ykee Benda had released a remix of Farmer with Sheebah.

The first verses remind me of the little lullabies we sang in preschool. "E'kampala nze jjensibukka. Jje nassaanga ono'muwaala...". You enjoy this song more when you sing along. The part that got me thinking true love is hard to get is when Ykee says " Bwagaana njaakumila empeeke" meaning 'if she turns me down, am gonna take drugs'. These drugs may be drugs that can help you to forget about the 'curve' but here I think he meant committing suicide. He even goes ahead to say "Suicide if you leave my side". Ykee Benda almost cried on this song, he put his soul to this song. Muna'kampala makes it to my playlist and writing this piece, it was on repeat. Unlike most of the love songs I have heard, where the lyrics are sweet nothings; Ykee Benda keeps it simple. He makes it easy for everyone to relate to this song.
