Troy Mc

Troy Mc built his name inside Pyong Recordz, the independent Kampala hip-hop label rooted in Ntinda and founded by Pryce Teeba — a name that recurs across RIA's Kampala roster as a mentor and collaborator figure. His TikTok bio brands him plainly as part of "A New Era of Ugandan Hiphop," and his back catalogue — singles "Mazima Ddala," "Dear Ex," and "Gunuma" — shows an artist who was releasing steadily well before his 2026 breakout project.

Troy Mc works inside Lugaflow — hip-hop rapped and sung in Luganda — with a delivery described as sharp and high-energy, built on "lyrical mastery" and aimed at "elevating authentic Lugaflow culture" rather than chasing a crossover sound. His profile is built specifically on storytelling and pen work rather than club production, placing him closer to the region's conscious-rap lineage than to the Amapiano- and dancehall-leaning artists elsewhere on the same roster.

His definitive release to date is "Cenozoic," a six-track EP that went up on streaming platforms on June 14, 2026, led by "Route 66," "Couple Bae," "Zibuze," "Uganda Empya," the title cut "Cenozoic," and "Let Him Rise." It follows a 2025 run that included "Boys from a Hood Near You (Part 2)" and the "Marinate" single — a steady release pace that makes Cenozoic a culmination rather than a debut.

"Uganda Empya" and "Let Him Rise" stand out as the EP's most direct statement tracks by title alone, continuing themes Troy Mc has carried since "Mazima Ddala" and "Dear Ex." Early listener response has been positive — his artist profile on the Ugandan entertainment site Howwe.ug carries a 5-out-of-5 rating, albeit from a small sample of votes. Still active on Pyong Recordz and building on Cenozoic's momentum, Troy Mc's next test is whether the EP's six tracks travel beyond Kampala's own hip-hop circle.
