Writing songs naturally comes to him (with a box full of them) as he fixed his tent in the Afro-pop genre making gospel tunes.
He started recording far back in 2005 but did his first solo recording in 2008; he has been privileged to grace lots of stages such as Anniversaries, Youth programs, RCCG-Bode Thomas-Surulere, Miss NYSC sponsored by MTN at the NYSC Camp (Niger;2010), and recently, Star FM’s boogie Xmas Party (to mention a few).
He has decided (by God’s grace) to enter the big scene and is currently out with 2 singles, these include;
Onyedimma - written with the inspiration to contemplatively praise God in dynamic languages - Produced by “Mic on” and featured “Same” (twins blessed with unique vocals).

Jehovah Repete is a song that speaks to you even while you dance to its Fuji feel - Produced by and features “SOJEGGS”.

He is a chorister (tenor singer) and likes to simply define himself as “an envelope of God’s Spirit”.

On this remake of Chris Delvan’s “You are glorious” Snatcha teams up with the vocal prowess of Deji of Fourkornerz and amazing production by Mr Damention to create this experimental mix of HipHop/ dance/worship. 

“ I had to get really personal on this track, cos I have been through hell and high water lately and it was the ability to hear bad news and burst out in dancing and thanking God through it all that saw me through.” Says Snatcha.

Although the group Rooftopmcs are still very much together, they have both stepped out to do individual projects (to be released on their Rooftopclan music imprint) before coming back to drop another rooftopmcs album. 

 Without further ado, Snatcha and the unseen forces presents YWHW (YAHWEH)

WORSHIP MEDLEY: EFE | I DECLARE | DOWNLOAD


From the stable of one of Africa’s leading female gospel singers comes this new song that accompanies the mind all day. EFE Nathan has done it again with a medley version of one of her beloved singles ‘I Declare’.

This medley is a remix of a 2011 version of ‘I Declare’ from her second album ‘A New Level’. The album featured songs such as ‘Still within the Flow’ and ‘Lift Your Hands’, which features Mike Abdul of the Midnight Crew. Those of us who heard the previous version were introduced to the definition of soul gospel. EFE, who describes her music as CONTAF (Contemporary African), sure has a way of weaving soulful tunes into danceable, sing-along hits.

‘The lyrics of  ‘I Declare’ kept going through my mind and when it was time to go back into the studio, I knew I just had to do that song again to declare God’s awesomeness, mighty Hand and His power over lives especially my own, these past few months and over the years. I don’t praise God because I am emotional; the reason I praise God the way I do is because I almost died in a situation, but God snatched me out! I owe Him praise,” EFE said.

‘I Declare Medley’, produced by Bode Afolabi, premieres across Africa and beyond, today!

MUSIC: T-KROSS | ONYEOMA | DOWNLOAD



T-Kross has been featured in selected songs with renowned Nigerian artistes such as 2face and Iyanya. One of such songs is ‘My Love is True’ with the legendary 2face Idibia.

T-Kross’s beliefs keep the Gospel genre close to his heart and his new single, Onyeoma communicates his Love and gratefulness to God. “I do know I was inspired to write this song, it came from the inside of me and defines my purpose as a musician. I am not where I am today because I worked more than the next person but because God favours me” T-Kross said of the song which he wrote and produced himself (KayKbeatz). Nevertheless, Onyeoma has this pop, upbeat and rhythmical tempo about it that does not make it an “in your face” gospel song. With features that make for good music, it will appeal to a wide range of musical tastes.

Be blessed, Download and Enjoy.

MUSIC: FLOW | THE LAST PRAYER


Here is a brand new song from a female gospel artiste known as Flow. The song is titled “The Last Prayer” and is one song you need to listen to as she flows you through the experience Christ went through when he went to pray His last prayer before being crucified.

Flow got inspired to write the song while reading through Matthew 26:36-44. It is her debut single and obviously, she is set to release more tracks but resolved to begin with this.

Flow’s name is Florence Okwuba and she is a native of Anambra State, Nanka. She was born and bred in Lagos where she completed her primary school and secondary school. She left Lagos for Ibadan in year 2000 to further her education and is a graduate of Computer Science.

She dances, sings ,Acts and plays the  guitar and a little bit of keyboard.

Flow believes in directly impacting lives through her gifts and skills. She has pioneered two groups, David Dancers in 2009 (in Sokoto during her service year) and also formed The Shabach Crew from 2011 which exit till present.
Obviously, besides dance, she also ministers through songs. She gets her  inspiration to write through the word of God and sometimes she testifies to hearing the Angels sing.

Flow is here to stay with her unique way of singing to God and impacting lives through the gifts He bestowed on her.

You said baby don’t you worry
I don’t ever wanna see you cry
And then you said Here is my shoulder
You can always lay your head

I couldn’t find a better place
Your gentle touch just changed my life
Thank you for the love you’ve shown to me
You are the lover of my soul oo
Thank you for the price on Calvary
Lord you took the pain away
lord you took the sorrow away

Away away, all of them away, away away (4x)

Joy like a river
Peace like a fountain
Fly like an eagle
Cos you set me free


(Repeat 2x)

Thank you for the price on Calvary
You are the lover of my soul o
Thank you for the love you’ve shown to me
Lord you took the pain away
Lord you took the sorrow away

Away away, all of them away, away away……….
