Goodlyfe crew is a Ugandan music group. It comprises Moses Radio (born Moses Nakintije Ssekibogo) and Weasel (born Douglas Mayanja) as the group's outstanding duo. Starting off as backup vocalists for Ugandan musician Jose Chameleone, Moses Radio and Weasel decided to break off from Chameleone's Leone Island Crew in 2008 to form the goodlyfe. Since then, the duo's songs have received much success on the Ugandan airwaves.[citation needed] Starting off with Nakudata in 2008, the duo went on to release Lwaki Onumya, Zuena, Nyambura and Bread And Butter, among others. In mid 2008, the duo also ventured in a number of collaborations with other artists like Rachel Kay, Blu*3, OS, Toniks, GNL and Zambia's General Ozzy.

Moses Radio's musical career began way back in Junior Secondary at Holy Cross Lake View Secondary School in Jinja, Uganda where he was the 'President' of the "Youth Alive Club". He composed various musical projects for the club that were a great success in most inter-school Youth Alive Club competitions. In 2002, Moses Radio joined Kiira College Butiki in Jinja, Uganda, where he gave his musical career a two year break as he concentrated on accomplishing his High School studies. He then later joined Chameleone's Leone Island Crew in 2004 [7]. While he backed Chameleone's vocals, Radio also released his own solos under leone island records. Some of these include Jennifer, Dagala, Wololo and Sweet lady [1] The latter received success though the artist still remained a blur at the time. Weasel on the other hand also released solo projects under his elder brother's records but it's his collaboration with Chameleone on a song called bomboclat that caught the audience's attention.
Moses Radio provides the smooth RnB vocals to the songs while Weasel provides a fusion of reggae, ragga and dancehall vibes.[2]
Other goodlyfe crew members include Gift of Kaddo MCs, Diamond Oscar, Mr.X, Buaman, Allan Kiwanuka and Jeff Kiwanuka who is also the group's manager[3] All the members have released solo projects.
The goodlyfe crew have their own production house called goodlyfe magic.[4]
