NEVA  LET GO

About the single Neva Let Go which features the great amaizing voice of Clifford Fayah Henry from the Cayman islands an artist whose worked with Dj Nicholas and also was Part of the Katalist crew label.

Neva let go is a single that just brings hope after having lost my mom who was a major support to my musiq ministry, I felt like giving up all there was to life. When I was going through a state of confusion and anger, my big brother came up with that great chorus and God Just revealed to me situations in the bible where he came through the words became a motivation. God’s plans for us are to prosper us not to fail whatever Jericho in our lives will hit the ground like Goliath. Jezebels, Delilahs may come but God will see us through. It’s more like declaration that we will reach the goal despite all obstacles that we face through Christ we are conquerors. Instrumentation by Edward Holland Jr. of Riddim culture England recorded at Jah vyb Records Zimbabwe mixed and mastered at Clarity House Records (caymen islands  ) by Mr Dwayne Euter.
