Video: Recho Rey's events commentary is better than your favourite influencer's

Social commentary is an element of a narrative that levels a comment, usually a critique, on societal issues or general society as a whole. Any issue relating to or ingrained aspects of a society can be a target of this commentary.

Social commentary is done in various ways and these include caricatures, direct commentary and musical or spoken word such as Recho Rey does. It usually involves an element of humour especially where society has poked fun at a situation.

The rapper posted her commentary on Instagram titled "Weekly Rap Up" which is a series of rap versions of weekly headlines.

This week's topics that have featured in her "Rap Up" include; the Uganda National Musicians Federation (UNMF) conflict, Big Eye's past stage experience with water bottles that drink RedBull, the return of a tame COVID-19 strain, the Gravity Omutujju and Kapa Cat conflict in which she pokes fun at the former, Pretty Nicole, among other topics.

The commentary comes on the backdrop of American rapper Dr. Dre's beat on his 1999 song "Still D.R.E".

The rapper has been doing promotions for her new song "Ntondo" visiting radio stations and doing acapella. The song follows the story of a soft-life girl who will not settle for less than the best no matter the cost to her lover.

The video features the artist Roden Y Kabako.
