After years of making his mark as an MC, DJ and artist, Uncool MC dropped his debut EP, Sesikude, today with gamma. Meaning “we have come far,” Sesikude reflects the road Uncool MC has travelled through music, from his childhood in Kwa-Thema, to moving up north, building relationships within the industry and eventually travelling the world through his craft. The project also represents a shift in his career. Having spent years behind the mic as an MC and working alongside some of the biggest names in the industry, Uncool MC is now putting more of his own story into his music as a performing artist, DJ and recording artist. Uncool MC reflects on his journey from Kwa-Thema to the world Speaking about the project, Uncool MC said: “The title meaning is centered around the journey I have taken through my art of music. This is a reflection of my decision to transition from an MC into a full performing artist and DJ. I have decided to share my story of my experiences throughout my childhood memories, growing up in Kwa-Thema and moving up north to rub shoulders with my fellow colleagues in the industry and going on to travel the world,” said Uncool MC.

This means everything to me because I put my all in order for people to experience Uncool MC the artist,” he said. Uncool MC sets the tone with chart-topping single Setla The road to Sesikude began with Setla, released on 4 September 2026.
