He noted that Break the Chains<\/em> shows Bebe Cool stepping out of his comfort zone to explore global sounds while still staying grounded in Ugandan roots.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat he\u2019s doing, trying to make music for global markets but keeping it Ugandan, that\u2019s inspiring to us young artists,\u201d<\/em> Kitaka added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The album, which Bebe Cool has been teasing for over a year, officially drops this Friday, May 30, on all major streaming platforms. While details remain under wraps, a few things are clear \u2014 the production spans Uganda and Nigeria, and the rollout has been as secretive as it is strategic.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Bebe Cool dropped Circumference<\/em> and Motivation<\/em> as lead singles, giving fans a small taste of what to expect. Since then, anticipation has grown, with key names like A Pass and Juliana Kanyomozi also hinting at their thoughts after private listens.<\/p>\n
