He was at the top of his game last year. Now critics are waiting to see his next move in his career.

Can Bobi Wine still churn out music as great as Omwana W’abandi?
Well, this self-proclaimed ghetto president may not equal that hot streak this time round, but Wine is not just resting on his laurels.

The Fire Base Crew boss has once again returned to the charts with Kikomando (ghetto speak for chapati and beans), the first single off his forthcoming album. The song is already big in Kampala.

He has also recorded a collaboration with singer Richard Kaweesa called Kadindo. Like his previous material, Kikomando and Kadindo were produced by Tony Houls from Dream Studios.

Kadindo is an excellent club banger with imprints of a hit! Its has catchy melody, danceable beats and simple lyrics.

However, Kikomando represents the lowest point of Wine’s creativity.

The production is impressive, but his songwriting skills are wanting on this one.
