Ugandan rapper, Ruyonga is challenging all those who thought had mastered the online game during this lock down period.
The seasoned rapper whose music has been on kind of a low has promised to entertain his fans during this period with numerous online concerts that will be staged every two weeks live on social media pages of the record label he is signed to, Josh SB 360
Ruyonga is considered among the legendary rappers in Uganda and he is put in the same class as guys like The Mith, Navio and Babaluku among others who started their music careers in the early 2000s.
One of Ruyonga's biggest moments was back in 2013 when he released the video for his songs 'Tutuuse', a song that he did with Don MC who was the hottest thing in Ugandan music at that time.
With a sleek music video, full of luxury things like private jets and Range Rovers the Tutuuse song which means "arrived" in Luganda really showed that Ruyonga had arrived ????.

But slowly over the years, the rapper disappeared into thin air, not because he wanted but because he was depressed.
He was not happy with the way he was successful musically but not successful on a personal level and he further says in a 2019 interview that this is the reason why he became born again.
Ruyonga wanted to get closer to God and find ways of efficiently communicating with Him.
Stories of him and city pastor, Prophet Elvis Mbonye rocked the media and this is when it became clear that the rapper was now a born again.
However, he says that being born again should not separate him from his secular fans because music is music.
