No Fake Accents for Mulindwa, Lyrical G

I’d like to take my hat off for two gentlemen – Isaac Mulindwa and Lyrical G. these two have completely resisted adopting fancy accents even though they would never have been faulted for doing so. Both have maintained a perfectly normal contemporary Ugandan urban accent. Mulindwa, as I’ve learnt, spent a huge chunk of of his childhood, education and employment abroad which should give him the licence to an accent that some people who have spent there a few months and years have awarded themselves. Some people think that the licence to an accent is earned when you become a hip-hip or dancehall artist, one of which Lyrical G is. However, the guy, like Mulindwa talks normal. Personally, when they are being interviewed I listen with interest in contrast to some who obviously force accents and, in turn, force me to switch stations. The two have shown that it is they that are in control of their fame, not the other way round. So wakina Sweet Kid, Peter Miles, e.t.c., sit up and pay attention to the former two gentlemen.
