From the dusty corners of Kawempe to international playlists — Joshua Baraka is living proof that Ugandan music is not here to play. His smash hit “Wrong Places” has officially gone places as Jamaica’s Konshens jumps on it.
In a viral moment that has the internet buzzing, Jamaican dancehall heavyweight Konshens posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) recording an open verse to “Wrong Places” in his home studio. And it wasn’t just a vibe — it was a full co-sign!
“Uganda watupp!! W or L and tell me which song next!!
#konshens #dancehall #pickasong #fanzone #wrongplaces @itsjoshuabaraka
keep doin your ting fam. EAST AFRICAN MUSIC SUUPER UNDERRATED!!”
— Konshens 🔥
Talk about a stamp of approval!
The song, which blends Joshua’s soulful vocals with a minimalist Afro-fusion beat, has already racked up over 4 million streams on Spotify and 12 million on YouTube (just the lyric video, btw). Not too shabby for a track that started in the heart of Kampala.
“Wrong Places” is now officially the biggest East African hit out right now — no debate. And with Konshens on board? Whew! The global wave is just beginning.
