Mc Wang Jok

Born 7th-oct-1989 real names 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 use 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 genre of music. From his brother’s collection he preferred Wutang, Lost boys, Outlaws, etc because he had some taste in particular for rap. He then 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 which consisted of Blackpool, Nicshawn and Money I (Present day Mc Wang Jok). BNM Crew in late 2005 recorded a single titled “Party” (Prod by Leo Pa Layeng) from 2Kleen Records G town. This song had a lot of air plays in key radios in Gulu town at that time. It wasn’t easy because all the young rappers were still at High school by then so the group didn’t record anymore content 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 Neighborhood of SQ (Senior Quarters) Laroo Division, Gulu Northern Uganda. Underground Blacks Movement recorded a song titled “Hustle” Produced and mastered by The late Lumix in 2008 from Valley Curve Studios. Hustle which is still one of the greatest hip hop 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 Africa’s famous Bila Wa Movement. Bila Wa Movement is a plat form that uses the fusion of rap/poetry and live African musical instrumentals(Adungu, Rigi Rigi, Xylophone etc) to make music that contains a very conscious message. Bila Wa Movement was known for their hit single “Lapiny” that was Produced and mastered by skinny in 2013 at Infinite Records Kampala. Lapiny have had a lot of air plays even outside of Uganda and Africa.

As a poet and the song writer for the concept Lapiny, It paved way for Mc Wang Jok to feature on the radio Netherlands My Song Interview in 2013. Wang Jok and Bila Wa Movement also had a lot of articles written about them an example where they were ranked 5th out of ten as Africa’s most unconventional Musicians/Band.
