    Not Radio Takeover ft. Rudende, Siima & KK (Kenni Kareem)

    The G.O.A.T.S of Ugandan radio are back on the mic as the trio, but this time, it’s NOT RADIO. In a special takeover of The Tribe UG Podcast, Siima, Rudende, and KK reunite for an unfiltered, unapologetically witty episode that feels like catching up with the greatest people on the mic. Known for their unmatched chemistry and razor-sharp takes, the trio emerged from “hibernation” to bring the legendary Not Radio vibe to The Tribe UG Podcast. They kick things off with a cryptic proverb, plenty of banter, and the kind of off-the-cuff energy that made them icons. Siima gets into the intersection of AI and music production, while Kenni and Rudy weigh in with their usual mix of bold opinions and offbeat humor. From whether Gen Z should leave millennials TF alone, to outrageous “Would You Rather” scenarios, nothing is off-limits. It’s the crossover episode we didn’t know we needed, and the kind of podcast content that reminds you why these three remain icons in Uganda’s media landscape. Real talk, real laughs, real radio legends, just not on the radio.

    Games, Mukene & A-Queen-y (Niwe Akeine)

    Episode 5, Season 5 (we love when things rhyme!) of The Tribe UG Podcast is here and it’s a special one. We’re joined by the soulful return of a queen, an elephant whisperer, and a powerhouse singer-songwriter: Niwe Akeine.

She takes us behind the scenes of her latest release Mukene, from the creative process to what fans can expect next. And because 5x5 equals 25 (okay, math and rhymes got us hyped), we dive into a round of 50/50, a Ugandan board game that tests our knowledge of Uganda’s people, places, and pop culture. Tap in, laugh with us, and vibe along, this one’s got stories, music, and plenty of Mukene energy.
