we luv tid yet he does not pop around so often.c'mmon big tid show ya fans in ug ua talent
yea, I wonder eh. I know he's been making some songs but seems other musicians like Bushoke, Mb Dog and Matonya have stolen his sunshine and he's not in the limelight too much.
We'll try upload some of his new stuff but Zeze and Siamini is absolute classics and would be listened to for ages.
Nobs, am sure he'll be in Uganda soon, with the level of co-operation going on amongst East African musicians, it is only a matter of time.
Watch the Nimezama video, great collaboration between the Tanzanian and Kenyan crooners
We all love you TID even here in France you are known and so loved. Keep it up ma nigger
