Ama G the Black is one of Rwanda’s young talents. He recorded his first song a couple of years back but it didn’t do much to cast him into the spotlight. He continued to record more songs, but none of them gave him a breakout hit. But after the release of Ndamukunda, which zoomed straight onto local radio countdowns and into some of your hearts, his star began to rise steadily. Ama-G the Black, born Amani Hakizimana is a 23-year-old local rapper born in Ruturusu, Remera, Gasabo District. The budding star does his thing in Kinyarwanda. One of his most popular songs is Urugendo, which also features Tuff Gang’s Bull Dog among others. His latest song, Igifu (Stomach), released a couple of weeks ago, is currently enjoying massive airplay on local radios. The stomach is the root cause of all evils, so don’t let it control you, the rapper advices in the song. Igifu is a new spin on an old topic. It’s hard to guess where Black gets his fire from, but he raps with tons of anger and venom. The beat is tough, too. Maintaining this dynamism and message, he is likely to steal all fans of his big rivals the the game.
