"Bebe, I just love his energy. Bebe cool can really inspire you, man. Bebe is a true definition of a superstar," said Wyre who once sang in the same group as Cool, real name Moses Ssali.
"He lives the lifestyle. The energy he gives anyone around him. He gives you psych to, you know, to do anything. In fact, the kind of vibe he gives you before you go on stage with him... You draw a lot of energy from him... I definitely love his energy. Funny guy to be around ... Always cracking jokes. Very cool guy."
Wyre, whose real name is Kevin Waire, while speaking to Ugandan media said that he and Bebe Cool met when the latter was in Nairobi trying to kickstart his music career.
Cool, who went to Kenya in 1997, first teamed up with Jose Chameleone and Redsan before joining Wyre and Nazizi to form the East African Bashment Crew under which they record hits like 'Kube', 'This Tune', 'Fire Anthem' (which was produced by Magic Washington and Tony Houls) and 'Combination' (featuring Peter Miles and Menshan).
Asked if there is a possibility of the trio linking up to record more songs under the East African Bashment Crew, Wyre welcomed the idea. Bebe Cool had also recently hinted about it.
One of the iconic local music groups that recently did such is the Blu*3. Lilian Mbabazi, Cindy Sanyu and Jackie Chandiru recently teamed up for a music show and they are also set to hold another concert in 2024.
The beauty about the East African Bashment Crew, just as Blu*3, all the people involved are still around, including producers who made the hit songs.
Meanwhile, Chameleone and Bebe Cool attribute their breakout in the mainstream music industry to their time in Kenya thanks to Ogopa Deejays who produced their songs.
Lucas from Ogopa Deejays produced Chameleone's breakout song Mama Mia and his other hit Njo Kalibu.
He also made the beats for Peter Miles' breakout song 'One Time' (featuring Menshan) and Bebe Cool’s Fitina album.
