‘The Enemy of Gospel Music Is Inside’ : DJ MO shares after ‘Tiga Wana” Rebuke

Just a few days ago, Size 8 and Willy Paul released a new song called ‘Tiga Wana’ and the song has been met with a lot of criticism especially on social media. Size 8’s husband Dj Mo has come out to defend gospel artistes citing that the word of God remains the same.

wi1

“Watu wangu vipi – I mean this from my heart. We are living in a day and age when throwing mud at others makes our hands feel cleaner. A generation of Christians with PHD pull him or her down syndrome…. The enemy of the church is the church and the enemy has succeeded to make believers turn against each other and to do whatever it takes to make sure neither of them rises.” he wrote on his instagram page.

He continues to say that, “ I have been on the forefront in advocating for content in music and that will not change anytime but am also of the school of thought music is an art, it’s about expressing the same idea in a creative yet entertaining way to capture the intended audience. The children of Israel in the wilderness complained to God when he fed them with manna everyday they asked for meat and another day bread (Numbers 11:4) they were tired of one meal….the generation out there won’t feed on worship songs alone and I’m a greater lover of worship and praise songs… they want the word packaged in different ways….Paul said when he went to Rome he did as the Romans to win a few.

hqdefault

There’s no way we will win the world unless we package the gospel in a more appealing way to their hearts….we continue to fight creativity in advancing the gospel the world is getting even more creative to push the agenda of the enemy. I thought when Ngori, Ayaya (beats), Katikia yesu (coz of attire), kapungala, kuchukuchu ,and others came out n everyone was criticising…they had a problem Thitima came out and its scripture after scripture n the criticism was the same…. Wait a minute if you meet a person with a problem with everyone then it’s the person with a problem.

 

kelele-takatifu-ngori

 

We can’t keep tearing every song down just because it’s not in our preferred style or wording. Today I want to go into record as the only gospel deejay that supports and will continue (no matter what) to support creative packaging of the gospel through music, maintaining content, maintaining the sweetness of music as an art n going down to reach the intended audience…(whether young or old)

Finally to the entire gospel ministry let’s not be our own enemies, I’ll tell you the truth the enemy of gospel music is inside not out there….. I believe in constructive n positive criticism. That’s the only way we can all grow…let’s not kill our wounded soldiers, let’s not be quick to judge others and pull them down because we disagree with their way of doing things… In all things let’s always remember the kingdom we claim to represent is founded and rooted in love….with a little love for one another we will propel each other forward than we press each other down.

Enough said….having supported so many uprisings Djs and artistes, well known artistes, deejayed and represented God in many biggest gospel n secular concerts have come to know that our God is fun ,I love you all and Jesus loves you even more ,thank you for your great support always” –Dj Mo -System unit.

The remaining group of SOC : Mugikuyu and Njoseh

”Well on the new project launched a month ago we had one of the biggest corporate company in Kenya come on board “Safaricom” with their new project “BLAZE” where they are motivating youths to be their on bosses and believe in themselves and follow their dreams. Blaze loved our household name in East Africa and chose to invest on our project as well and hence the reason we did the Blaze product placement on our new video #Kataa,” the artistes shared exclusively with ulizalinks.

img-20161001-wa0004

This past weekend the duo went ahead to work with blaze on the Nairobi Summit event at Nyayo stadium on the 30th of September which was more of a multi million shillings deal because it included their African Tour that’s just about to start before the year ends.

SOC who are under new management at FGB label launched a new video #Kataa, a month ago, in which they remarkably directed on their own. Under the new label SOC say they intend to grow further their brand this year and start signing new artists early next year 2017.

Speaking about the open doors SOC added :

img-20161001-wa0006

“With us it’s really not about the money at all or the hype that comes with the music and all that. Don’t get me wrong it’s really something when you make a million shillings deal at our age but what our vision entails is to make Christ known all over Africa.

It is so possible to share the stage with all this African secular big wigs and still be the only artiste singing a gospel song and people get to realise there is power in the lords side”

On the break up of gospel groups :

To every single “Gospel GROUP artistes that are coming up ” it’s not easy maintaining a group but it’s possible to be a successful group artiste as long us the vision is the same in all of you and you put God first….individual side hustles are always what kills a group so make sure everything you want to do should include each member,Never be selfish in a group.

“On Thursday morning as we were heading to the CBD with my wife,Princess Faridah, we accidentally had a collision with a truck which was moving along side us. While driving past the truck at NPC Buru Buru to go in front of it, the truck accidentally had contact with our car pushing us to other other side of the road.” The husband told uliza links.

After the collision an ambulance came and rushed Faridah to hospital because she was unable to breath or stand and her back was paining.

The couple found themselves knocked by the truck on the other lane of the road but luckily there were no cars passing on the other lane.princess farida husband

After a scan was done on her she was found to only have had minor injury and shock as her inner body structure was okay.

Speaking to Uliza links later in the day , Princess Faridah  stated :

“Before the accident we were speaking in tongues. You can imagine the damage if it was not for the prayer. At the hospital during check up doctors were shocked how we survived and started saying  that they also need to get saved and serve God.

At the end of the day I am glad, I am alive despite the pains but the devil is defeated.”

This is the 2nd time in months that a gospel artiste in Kenya has been involved in a car accident after Mercy Masika was rushed to hospital earlier this year on the same.
