From tragedy to triumph, Ubahgang has embarked on a musical journey fueled by perseverance, passion, and the memory of his mother’s dreams. With a versatile style influenced by 2Pac’s poetry and a commitment to authenticity, Ubahgang creates music that speaks to the soul and inspires listeners to never give up.
Born into a family where music was more than just a pastime, Ubahgang was introduced to the world of melodies and rhythms at a young age. “My mother enrolled me in music when I was a kid,” he recalls. “When she passed away, I wanted to follow my music career and fulfill her dreams she had for me.”
Describing his music style as versatile, Ubahgang draws inspiration from a diverse range of experiences and influences. “I can pretty much do anything as far as the music,” he explains. “2Pac inspired me with his poetry.”
For Ubahgang, the songwriting process is a journey of self-expression and reflection. “My songwriting process is pretty simple,” he shares. “I talk about what I’m going through or what I’ve been through and I make poetry out of it. Then I turn it into a song once I hear a certain beat that I like.”
As an artist who has faced his fair share of challenges, Ubahgang is no stranger to adversity. “I’ve been through a lot,” he admits. “Started off with a football career, got into a horrible car wreck, got into some legal trouble. But I never gave up.”
Through his music, Ubahgang seeks to inspire and motivate others, sharing messages of resilience and determination. “I try to inspire people,” he says. “I try to make people understand that things aren’t gonna always go your way, but they will eventually if you never give up.”
For Ubahgang, the most memorable moment of his journey was his first show, where he witnessed the power of music to captivate and uplift. “My first show was unforgettable,” he recalls. “My sister-in-law stole the show with her dancing moves. I literally stopped rapping and started watching her.”
Looking ahead, Ubahgang has exciting collaborations in the pipeline, including projects with notable artists such as Hood, Sauce Walka, Money Man, 2 Chainz, and Peewee Longway. “I have an upcoming collabo that I plan on doing with 600 Ent artists,” he reveals.
In the studio, Ubahgang embraces the creative process with an open mind and a willingness to experiment. “My studio process is weird,” he admits. “I don’t ever know how I’m gonna say a song or a rap until I get in the studio and hear my voice.”
Ultimately, Ubahgang creates music for his fans, hoping to inspire and motivate them to pursue their dreams. “I make this music for y’all,” he declares. “I hope I can inspire you and motivate you to do whatever you wanna do in life with this music.”
With his unwavering dedication and heartfelt lyrics, Ubahgang is poised to make a lasting impact on the world of music, one song at a time.

Central in Chicago & Atlanta, The W. K. Kellogg Foundation, Ford Foundation and The Indigenous People’s Movement. Mumu is co-creator of the Recording Academy’s “Best Song For Social Change” trustee award which went live in 2023 at the 66th GRAMMY awards show and was presented by The First Lady, Jill Biden.

Mumu describes “My Why” as “a tribute to that person(s), place, or thing in your life that is your “WHY”. Your reason not to give up. Your reason to keep trying and to push a little harder than you thought you could. You why reminds you of what you’re made of and brings out the best in you.” The Healing drops April 19.

DMV-based rapper/producer Santa Sallet and France-based producer Nemizzo are MSP, presenting their new single “Big Hands”. Sallet has been busy showcasing his brand of East Coast braggadocious rap across a slew of recent singles like “Camouflage” (watch on Youtube), “I Get Money” (watch on Youtube), “Championship Ring” (watch on Youtube) and “Chinese Funk” (watch on Youtube) in preparation for the release of Plutography, Sallet’s forthcoming album which blends salsa beats, southern trap, and eastern jazz with classic and conventional rap samples, reflecting Sallet’s international upbringing across South Africa, Dominica and the US. Sallet is planning a series of full-length releases, among them C.R.E.A.M. which recounts his journey from broke to financially free, and Women and R.A.P. which describe his pursuit of success in relationships and the music industry respectively. “This is the song that really started MSP Tunes,” Santa says. “Nemizzo had laid down his verse and I was like, let me try something on this and I just talked about what I knew. What I think is funny, the outro is actually me recording a bunch of potential beat tags. There was a miscommunication and Nemizzo extended the beat and made it the outro. I like it though lol.” Check out Santa Sallet merch here.
