With a full year of dynamic releases emphasizing range, vocal prowess and lyrical depth, the newest release by HFP Music’s very own – Rae Rae, is indeed a breathtaking and incredibly beautiful anthem to round up the year!
As shown in the track-record of the singer-songwriter, the end goal of every musical release is to share more of God’s heart and nature. This release does just that and more. ‘Cover Me’ is a timely re- minder of God’s promises, wrapped in lyrics, melodies and rhythms that will make you ponder, reflect on and rest in God’s love, faithfulness and covering.
According to Rae Rae, “For me, I know I can go through any and everything, I have nothing to fear cause God has been a steadfast shelter over the years and I know He will never ever fail. It’s that same assurance and confidence I share in this track, for every- one who listens – to remember who covers us for all of our lifetime.”
Produced by Samuel Nwachukwu and Keith Bazari, mixed and mastered by Whiteblock Group with art direction by Jabrand Design, Cover Me is released under UK’s gospel record label, HFP Music, and is available now on all streaming platforms.

About Christafari
Christafari was founded in 1989 by Pastor Mark Mohr. Raised in a Christian family, during his teens Mohr strayed from his spiritual upbringing and turned to drugs and alcohol, going as far as growing and even dealing marijuana.
After running away from home, living on the streets, and hitting rock-bottom, he had an undeniable encounter with God that drastically transformed his world.
At 17, Mark re-committed his life to Christ and took what he now calls his “Freedom Step” out of addiction. At that point, his greatest desire was to help others escape the same bondage that once entangled him. He felt God leading him to start the first Gospel reggae band in America. Just two weeks later the band was birthed at a camp talent show, when a friend said, “So you’re not a Rastafarian anymore; you’re a Christafarian.” And the name stuck! While their name may just sound like a play on words, in Biblical Greek it stands for a group of people who bear or represent the name of Christ. “At that time, the best advice I was given was to go to Bible College so I could be theologically and doctrinally sound,” says Mark, who attended BIOLA University, taking classes that emphasized pastoral studies and missions.
During his college years, Christafari continued to take shape as Mark wrote songs for the band’s first three albums.In 1999, after recording two albums with Gotee Records under the tutelage of TobyMac, Mark branched out and founded his own record company, Lion of Zion Entertainment, with the goal of “reaching the world through world music.” He later launched GospelReggae.com.
In 2002, while ministering in the Caribbean, Mohr met Trinidadian musician Avion Blackman. The two married a year and a half later and Avion joined the band full-time on bass and vocals. Avion comes from a very large musical family. Her father Ras Shorty I invented Soca and Jamoo music and trained over a dozen of his children to become his own backing band. She began singing lead on stage with her father at only four years old and started playing bass in his band The Love Circle at age 14.
Christafari is comprised of men and women from various continents, countries, and cultures who share a love for reggae music and passion for following Jesus to the ends of the earth. Christafari is no stranger to chart success. Since the release of their first “Reggae Worship” album in the early 90s, most of their CDs have held positions on both the Christian and/or Reggae Billboard charts.
In 2012 Christafari made history as the first Gospel artist to hit #1 on the Billboard Reggae Charts with “Reggae Worship: a Roots Revival.” Each of the band’s 5 subsequent studio releases has also topped the Billboard Charts. However, speaking about the band’s chart successes, Mohr states, “We care a lot more about hearts than charts. Our passion is for souls, not sales, and we only do concerts as a way to make converts and fulfill the great commission.” Christafari has performed in 46 states, over 85 nations, at two Olympic Games and even for a President of the United States of America.
The band’s first major tour was 1995’s Reggae Sunsplash, which had them traversing 46 cities in 53 days. Since then, they’ve performed at most major reggae and gospel/CCM festivals with the top artists in the genres. The group has had the privilege of performing at many of the country’s most prestigious venues like LA’s Greek Theater, Dodger Stadium, the Presidential Inaugural Ball, and even from the steps of our nation’s Capitol before a crowd of 500,000!
Christafari has been featured on The 700 Club, CNN, MTV, MTV Brazil, ABC, TBN, JUCE TV, BET, TBS, Greg Laurie’s Harvest, and many more. Their music is even featured in the current curriculum taught at Carnegie Hall.
Christafari’s YouTube channel sees well over a million views each month. “Aside from touring,” says Mohr, “our greatest platform to reach the world is YouTube, so we’re doing our best to maximize it with the few resources that we have.” Over the last few years, Christafari has released roughly one music video per month through their Rank and File Film Co.
After the inception of Christafari, the band took several annual mission trips to Jamaica. “The funny thing is that one of my first prayers to the Lord after coming to Christ,” recalls Mohr “was, ‘Please don’t make me a missionary in the jungle in some Third World country.’” He now thanks the Lord for not answering that prayer – for it would quickly become the greatest desire of his heart.After visiting places like Africa, Central and South America, and some of the most remote islands on earth, it became clear also to the rest of the band that these were the types of places that the Lord wanted them to invest their time and talents in from here on out.
Their mission was simple: “To reach the lost at any cost and make disciples of every nation.” But the band quickly became troubled by the reality that Third World nations and developing countries couldn’t afford to fly out even a single member of the band, let alone their entire team.So they became full-time musical missionaries – willing to travel to the ends of the earth in an effort to preach the Gospel through the universal language of music to those who could never afford them in conventional terms.
Each of the members in Christafari has the same mission and vision, a commitment that requires tremendous sacrifice and discomfort. But this is right where they believe the Lord has called them. Seeing lives changed across the globe makes it entirely worth their while, and the results have been astonishing: in 2016-2017 the band saw over 231,000 decisions for Christ at their outreach events!
They are well on their way towards their goal of seeing one million decisions for Christ within the next decade.
Tribl Records, the new premiere recording home for Christian and Gospel music artists, announces the release of the premiere South Asian Worship artist, Maryanne “MJ” George. Affectionally, known as MJ, she will release her debut solo album, Not Just Stories, on her birthday, Friday, October 8th.
As a member of the multi-platinum selling, Maverick City Music, the album Not Just Stories features Maverick City Music members Dante Bowe, Aaron Moses and Naomi Raine. The EP, Not Just Stories is Maryanne “MJ” George’s very first EP release and the first solo release from a member of Maverick City Music. It captures the essence of MJ’s faith walk, featuring a collection of deep-felt worship, uplifting praise songs and extended/spontaneous worship. The opening track, “Journey” is an artistic emotional and transparent heartfelt song that was birthed out MJ’s initial fear of being a songwriter. Inspired by the story of Abraham and Isaac, “I’m Gonna Worship” with Dante Bowe, is a simple song of victorious praise.
The expecting mother-to-be shares, “This album is sacred – it’s my gift to the Lord. Every song holds a tangible expression of a moment I’ve had with the Lord. I took a chance and went full-time with songwriting and artistry a few years ago. It was difficult for me, but this album became one of remembrance and grounding.”
Native of Queens, NY, currently residing in St. Louis, Mo, MJ grew up in a musical family and Christian home where music was the center of many family gatherings. She started by singing covers on Instagram, which started the development of a faithful fan following. In 2018 while attending Bethel Worship School, MJ sang at a school showcase and became discovered by Bethel Worship label executives in the audience; this discovery led to an invite to attend the songwriters camp that birthed Maverick City Music.
“Within 5 minutes we had the bridge for the song, ‘Not Just Stories.’ I had a real encounter with God during the writing process and was so overwhelmed by the reality of heaven and the reality of Jesus. He is not just a story,” shares Dante Bowe.
Not Just Stories is MJ’s very first EP release, still holding a collective feel portrayed through the visual TRIBL/Mav choir and featured artists (Mav artists & other friends). This EP contains 6 songs in total, 2 of which are extended/spontaneous versions capturing the essence of a Heaven-on-Earth “forever-worship”. A combination of deep-felt worship and an uplifting praise song, all of which are suitable for congregational singing.

Birthed during the period the world was ravaged by the global pandemic. Nations of the world went into lockdown with panic and uncertainty all over the land, the Lord gave Sam Opeche a sound for the people in ‘Praise the Lord’. A sound that mandates the people to praise God in good and bad times with an unwavering faith of a change.
Sam firmly believes that God has given him this song to remind the body of Christ of God’s undying love. Indeed, the loving kindness of God never leaves us no matter the circumstances of our lives. He has promised and He will never fail, and all we need do is resound with satisfied joy: Praise The Lord
Sam’s last single, ‘Yes Lord Yes,’ was ranked 5 stars by fans on Facebook Music and ranked number 58 on the YouTube Top 100 Nigerian songs Chart.
A multiple award winner, Sam has successfully toured the UK and Europe. During his tours, he had the privilege of performing alongside gospel heavyweights such as Nataniel Bassey, Sonnie Badu, Muyiwa Olanrewaju, Gabriel Eziashi, Faith Child and a host of others at a number of megachurches in the UK; several sold out concerts in Germany and at the Connection Convention in Wroclaw, Poland. Sam has also performed at the renowned London Festival of Life events at The Excel.
Working with the widely respected producer Gozi Okogwu (a.k.a. Goz) and his crew, they created a song that many observers have tagged ‘exceptional’. When asked what he thought about the song, Goz simply said ‘magical’. That, coming from a legendary producer and a well-sought-after musical architect in the UK Gospel industry is an indication that something spectacular is indeed about to launch.
Sam’s song ‘Praise The Lord’ topped the UK Christian Gospel Chart in March under the Contemporary Gospel category with an overwhelmingvote from both fans and professional judges.
Sam’s vocal texture is an undeniable signature that makes him stand out. He has been compared to Seal by many of his fans, and some even say he sounds like gospel greats, Ron Kenoly and Donnie McKlurkin. Yet, Sam’s tuneful sound is strikingly unique.
Sam is so grateful to his many fans and the way they have endeared him to their hearts. His primary goal is to serve the body of Christ and all people with his musicality to the praise and glory of God.
Falling in love with Jesus after an extraordinary encounter on his way to sing at a nightclub, Sam wants everyone to know of the sweet and tender mercy of our God towards all people. That’s why he retorts to God in the song ‘Your loving kindness, your tender mercies will never leave, so let everything within me praise His name.’

The singer says “While we may not always “feel” God’s love, the Bible reminds and reaffirms to us that God’s love is unfailing, unmovable, and unconditional.
God’s love cannot be compared to human, relational love because there is no comparison. “Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever” (Psalm 136:26). “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
“Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:39).
This new song is accompanied by a colourful inspiring music video directed by Kingdom Boiz.

Fast-rising Nigerian gospel singer Bibiola hits the gospel scenes with the release of her new single tagged, “Calling On your name ”Featuring RJP
Speaking on the song, Bibiol says “ this is not just a song but an assurance under the name of Jesus that whenever you call on his name, He will answer.
‘Not too long ago, the Beautiful City made and built by God, founded on the Rock, set on a hill, totally prettified by God’s glory, love and grace was targeted at and hit by a mighty storm, a dark boisterous wind sent by those she loved, trusted, esteemed and was good too. A wind gigantic enough to obliterate ten of her size simultaneously.
Like Joseph, she was stripped of color and honor by those who ought to protect and adore her. Like Daniel, she was surrounded by ferocious lions for being who God made her. Like Shadrach Meshach & Abednego she felt so overwhelmingly trapped but refused to bow. for though she was in their midst, the LORD in her, is MIGHTY ° GREATLY MIGHTY. For by the power in the Name of Jesus lions could not devour, the fire could not burn and weapons formed could not prosper.
Salvation is found in no one else but in Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Jesus is The Way, Jesus is The Truth, Jesus is The Life. Whoever {everyone who} calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved.
In the midst of fire, lions, and storm, she The Beautiful City-Bibiola sang this song many times:
CALLING ON YOUR NAME
{A conversation with God}
Listen and be exceedingly helped by the Holy Ghost.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – September 24, 2021 – Grammy-winning music artist Kirk Franklin has teamed up with Compassion International to re-release his single, “Lean on Me,” featuring the voices of youth living in poverty around the world.
For the past several months, Franklin has been working with youth from all 25 countries in Compassion’s child development program. Through virtual auditions and rehearsals, the Compassion Youth Choir, made up of more than 120 youth, ages 11-19, worked with the artist to record the song, which was originally released in 1998.
After a trip to the Dominican Republic with Compassion in early 2020, Franklin felt called by God to use his talents, platform, and personal story to inspire youth around the world to pursue their own giftings.
In late 2020, Compassion sent out a call to youth in its field countries, where the ministry serves children in poverty, to participate in a virtual choir. Franklin was originally planning on selecting winners from each country to participate in the choir, but after reviewing video submissions from the youth, he was so moved by their talent and passion that he chose everyone who auditioned to participate in the project.
Franklin shares, “It was such an honor working with so many young, talented, and gifted kids from across the globe! I’m grateful to the team at Compassion International for giving me the opportunity to serve in this capacity.”
During the virtual sessions, Franklin provided vocal coaching, answered questions about his life and musical career, and even taught the group some dance moves.
Eleven-year-old Yshara from the Philippines says she enjoyed the entire process. “I’m very excited to be part of the youth choir, to show everyone my talent in singing, and to be with other singers from different places.” She says her favorite part of working with Franklin was hearing his life experience and improving as a singer.
Maria, 18, from Nicaragua adds, “My favorite part was to hear Kirk’s testimony and his words of motivation and inspiration – that if you can dream about something, you can reach it in Christ Jesus.”
“I feel extremely happy to be selected,” says Kakama, 18, from Uganda. Born without arms, Kakama began to realize he was musically talented at age 16. “I feel God has blessed me so much, beyond what words can explain.”
The music video for the re-release of “Lean on Me,” featuring the Compassion Youth Choir, can be seen at compassion.com/kirkfranklin or on YouTube.
Franklin concludes, “It’s unbelievable that a song like this still resonates with so many people. I pray this version provides a little hope for the people across the globe.”
Fo Yo Soul/RCA Records and Franklin will donate proceeds from the sales and streams of the song to Compassion. Click here to download or stream “Lean on Me” featuring the Compassion Youth Choir.

David Oke A.G.S (aka MC Rhema) releases live performance music video for his new single titled THE GOSPEL ANTHEM.
“The Gospel Anthem” has its root in John 12 verse 32 and Romans 1 verse 16 as written by David Oke A.G.S. In the song, everyone choruses “Jesus, be lifted high as you draw all men to yourself”. As the first single from “The Finished Work (Live)” album, “The Gospel Anthem (Live)” is a sound of worship like no other. As Jesus is lifted, He is drawing all men to Himself as we declare the Gospel to all men and submit to His will in worship.
The Gospel Anthem is mid-tempo, almost like an upbeat with elements of CCM. It has Jesus as its center and core. It is all about Jesus.”Recorded Live at GOFAMINT House of Restoration, Georgia.
Uchechi Lois Nwosu-Iroha makes a grand appearance with a much required, apt and timely source of encouragement as she releases her debut single – ”Faithful Father”.
Too many times, as human beings, we tend to expend so much energy and time on the things we perceive to be priority on our scale of urgent and important. The more targets we meet in those areas, the more we become sold out to doing them.Suddenly, we realize that our creativity and motivation level has dropped to level zero because the bank we withdraw them from, which is in the place of continuous fellowship with God, is empty! It dawns on us that we have been too busy for the Author of Life. At this moment, everything comes to an inevitable halt. This was Uchechi’s experience.
However, in the midst of the pressure, depression, loss, recession, sadness and all, she found out that the only solution, the haven of help, peace and recovery, still remains returning back to the arms of the Father, God Almighty, the source of everything good. This she did and she recovered all that she had lost.
”Faithful Father” produced by the un-paralled Amb. Wole Oni.
Nigeria-US based artiste – Uchechi Nwosu-Iroha holds a Bachelor Degree and a Masters Degree in Nursing, from California University, Chico and Charles Drew University, Los Angeles respectively.
In the midst of being consumed with the passion for her career, singing professionally has always and will continue to be an inevitable part of her life. It runs in her family, she has a sibling who is also sold out to doing music dedicatedly.
Presently, she serves at the International Christian Church, Los Angeles, mainly in the Choir, Social Media and Children’s Department. She is also a compère for talk shows and multiple social events.
Yes, she loves life, she loves to create her own fun, she enjoys dancing and fellowshipping with friends. But all she does is to the end that Jesus Christ is expressed in her daily living to everyone God brings her way.
Hence her passion for and choice of music/singing as a dispenser of the character and ability of our Lord, Jesus Christ. She is happily married with three children.
