Money Makes Money

DUDE, Kurio, MassiveMusic, Third City, Wakaliwood
It’s common knowledge that “money makes money”: the rich are getting richer, the poor not. That's why people from Bulambuli, a rural community in Eastern Uganda, who needed urgent investments, decided to hijack this truth by pretending to be filthy rich – in a way everyone knows: the rap music video way. Resulting in rap star fame, too. And lofty donations to boot.
