Originally from Goma, DRC, Makombe Samuel moved to Uganda in 2013, where he adopted the stage name « Blaqface ». The young rapper fell in love with music in high school, participating in hip-hop battles organized between students.
As the compliments and positive feedback piled up around his freestyles, the teenager felt he had a card to play, taking an interest in rap history and imagining himself to be part of the present. He gained self-confidence to embark on a musical career, which had been taking shape for several months, thanks to the Congolese label Wald Level Records.
Blaqface is one of his first signed artists, who defines his style as modern hip-hop infused with dancehall and afrobeats, influenced by the giant J Cole. Behind its irresistible R’n’B flow and its sensual vibe hides a great melancholy and painful story.
