Although he raps primarily in Luganda, Ecko Bazz's roof-raising delivery has such a visceral effect that any language barrier is quickly overcome. His two releases on Hakuna Kulala, relentlessly propelling hip-hop and grime into the future, have been championed by everyone from electronic authority Resident Advisor to indie outlet Tiny Mix Tapes and even Aphex Twin, who mixed an Ecko Bazz track into his set on tour.

Ecko Bazz will return to the offshoot label of Nyege Nyege Tapes for his first full-length album, slated for 2021, including production work by Slikback and Debmaster. He has also collaborated with Italian producer Still, slated for release on Berlin label PAN.
