A Decade Ago: A Pass and Radio & Weasel’s Hit Collab
Ten years ago, A Pass, then an emerging artist, made waves in Uganda’s music scene by securing a collaboration with the legendary duo, Radio and Weasel. The result was the hit song ‘Nuh Normal’, which dominated the airwaves and climbed the music charts thanks to its infectious melodies and heartfelt lyricism.
However, according to Weasel, the duo’s initial plan was to collaborate with A Pass on his original composition ‘Tuli Kubigere’.
Why ‘Tuli Kubigere’ Wasn’t Chosen
Weasel recently revealed that while ‘Tuli Kubigere’ was initially the song of choice for their collaboration, A Pass found it too personal to share. Instead, Radio and Weasel decided to work with him on ‘Nuh Normal’, a decision that still yielded an exceptional track for both parties.
“Since it’s a #RadioWeek and we’re throwing it back! Did you know our collab with A Pass was originally supposed to be on ‘Tuli Kubigere’? But the song was so deeply personal to A Pass’s journey, we convinced him to own it solo.” – Weasel
Instead of ‘Tuli Kubigere’, the duo hopped onto ‘Nuh Normal’, creating one of the biggest collaborations of its time. That same day, they also worked on another iconic song, ‘Maze Okwetegereza’, featuring Maro.
A Pass’ Concert and Nostalgic Throwback
As A Pass gears up for his highly anticipated concert at Serena Hotel Kampala, Weasel’s revelation adds an intriguing layer of nostalgia for fans who have followed these artists’ journeys over the years.
The revelation also highlights how artists navigate creative decisions, choosing to protect deeply personal tracks while still delivering memorable collaborations. ‘Tuli Kubigere’ went on to become a personal anthem for A Pass, while ‘Nuh Normal’ cemented the bond between him and the dynamic duo.
Final Thoughts: What Could Have Been?
Music lovers can only wonder what a version of ‘Tuli Kubigere’ featuring Radio & Weasel would have sounded like. However, the decision to keep it solo allowed A Pass to tell his story his way. Meanwhile, ‘Nuh Normal’ remains a timeless hit, reminding fans of the magic created when artists come together in collaboration.
With A Pass’ concert just around the corner, fans can expect an electrifying performance featuring some of his greatest hits—perhaps even a throwback to ‘Nuh Normal’, bringing back memories of an era-defining partnership with Radio and Weasel.
