"We are working with Tuff Gang on an album of 12 singles, which will be out in six months,” Uwineza said.
Uwineza said the reason he decided to work with Tuff Gang is because the latter are the most popular Hip-hop group in the country at the moment.
He added that Top sai 5 studios is expanding its operations after acquiring Bridge Records.
Tuff Gang shot to fame as the pioneers of old skool kinyarwanda Hip-hop with songs like Gereza, Amaganya and Kwicuma, but soon after each member looked to concentrate on their solo efforts in local music industry.
Their reunion will be welcome news to their fans.
However, Jay Polly, the winner of Primus Guma Guma SuperStar Season 4 (2014) and perhaps the most successful member of the group, dismissed rumours that the three were set for a reunion with controversial Rapper P-fla, one of the founding members of Tuff Gang.
