Gospel singer Simon Peter Wambua, better known has Hopekid, has dropped a new jam with Khaligraph Jones and it’s totally worth your time.

The song dubbed Testimony talks about acknowledging and praising God for all the great things that he has done in our lives. (At least that’s how I understood it.)
Hopekid demonstrates his versatility once again in this song. If you listen to it, you’ll appreciate his ability to switch from ordinary singing to this reggae vibe. I really love it.
He also did a great job on the hook. Chances are, you’ll memorize it the first time you listen to this song. It goes like, “(Apewe sifa leo ooo eeeeh eeeeh*2), wacha aitwe Mungu uuuh huuuh mmmmh.” That’s it.
As expected, Khaligraph Jones also nailed it on this jam. His verse was dope. In it, he says how God has transformed his life by giving him money, cars, a child and what have you.
The video concept is simple but I feel it works for this kind of song. The scene transitioning and color coordination is also awesome. Props to Ricky Bekko
It goes without saying that the audio producer, Yo Alex, also did a good job. However, if we are being honest, you will agree with me that the beat sounds the same like other Kenyan gospel songs but then again maybe it’s just me.
Watch Testimony below and tell us what you think.
