Mc Wang jok
Born 7th-oct-1989 real name Ivan Rubangakene Ochaya. He grew up in Gulu town (G town
Northern Uganda). In 1998 At the age of nine he got inspired by rap music he used to listen to
from his father’s boom box at that time because his step brother who was older by then would
buy audio tapes of different genres of music. From his brother’s collection he chose wutang, lost
boys, Outlaws, etc because he had some taste in particular for rap.
He started writing pieces of his own that he compared to the kind of music he loved and would
perform them at karaoke’s and battles. In 2005 Mc Wang Jok together with 2 other rappers
created a rap crew called BNM consisting of Blackpool, Nicshawn and Money I (Present day Mc
Wang Jok). BNM Crew in late 2005 recorded a single titled “Party” at 2Kleen Records G town.
This song had a lot of air plays in key radios in G town at that time. It wasn’t easy because all the
rappers were still at High school level by then so the group didn’t record anything else as BNM
until the group was later dissolved.
In 2008 Mc Wang Jok together with 3 other rapper’s created another group call Underground
Blacks Movement. Underground meaning underneath, hidden or not mainstream and Blacks
meaning Africans. This group was very distinctive and influential to hip hop and rap in Gulu town
(Northern Uganda). It consisted of four poetic rappers (Shawn, Komical, Mc Edge and Mc Wang
Jok as Money) all from the same Neighbourhood of SQ (Senior Quarters) Laroo Division, Gulu.
Underground Blacks Movement recorded a song titled “Hustle” Produced and mastered by The
late Lumix in 2008 from Valley Curve Studios. Hustle still one of the greatest hiphop songs of all
time in G town made this group very famous to rap lovers.
In 2009 after Underground Blacks Movement was dissolved Mc Wang Jok, Jok Ocol and Rwot
Onung Pa Yai(R.I.P) founded the worlds famous Bila Wa Movement. Bila Wa Movement is a plat
form that uses the fusion of rap/poetry and afro instrumentals to make music that can pass a
