Majestik Legend Presents: Music on the Frontline Vol.1 | JustaHub Recordings 2023

A rich and diverse compilation of music showing the depth and array of talent from the region. Uganda is a cross-frontier territory where all languages from French English to Luganda are spoken. The choice of Majestik Legend to team up with Ugandan artists clearly shows his intent to address his message across all borders and social classes, and reveal the identity and originality of African sounds through the variety of genres from Hip-hop - French Rap - Afro Rap - Afro Folk - to Slam. This compilation was arranged by Majestik Legend and regroups musicians from the city of Kampala - East Africa making conscious music. Their mission is to spread a message of peace and awareness to help overcome all injustices, artists, and Rastafari face daily in Africa. Music as a weapon to help artists fight to keep their rights for expression and creation alive and give hope for the future of artists on the continent.

Music on the Frontline Vol.1 was produced at JustaHub recording studios based in Busabaala, Kampala Uganda. Mastering by Adub. Artwork by Sophia L. Burns.

MAJESTIK LEGEND, his real name Yedidia Katende Kadima born March 20, 1991, in Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo is a singer, actor, lawyer, and activist. The majestic legend is the new emblem of Congolese revolutionary rap with the Pan-African model. it cultivates 100% educational music of positive change and peaceful revolution in the colors of Africa. Whether it’s the drums, heavy or fast, the cocoon of agitated guitars, the militant energy of the brass, or the bewitching voice of Majestik legend, everything is rhythmic. Majestik legend shares several cultures that he each defends, speaks several languages, and sings his music for everyone. Concerned by the problems of his country, he does not hesitate to say openly, what he thinks, to name names, and to point out the wounds of the finger, from Uganda where he is an immigrant. He alternates between French, Lingala, and Swahili, his native language, which goes very well with his committed and colorful lyrics. 

A militant singer, he advocates peace and unity and asserts his ideas without violence. “Our role as artists is to calm things down and let people know what’s really going on.” Truly charismatic, he inspires other young people, being the model role of the HEM movement (hip-hop education movement) to make their passion (music) a profession and thus be able to exist through artistic creativity. he has collaborated with various artists from the label (Roots Natty Shante - Poros) being the main producer at JustaHub Recording Studios since 2021 as well as releasing under his collective Hip Hop Education Movement  Hem Bandcamp FACEBOOK
