2. Holy Ghost feat Taz, is almost like the celebration that comes as a result of reconnecting with God. It’s a celebration of the power and availability of the Holy Spirit in one’s life. Produced by Taz, Chorus by Taz too.

3. Speak is the title track which is basically a chilled and raw conversation about how inadequate I feel my faith is and the different thing about this song is instead of talking to God in the chorus, I simply embrace silence in order to allow God to speak. Produced by Rigga, Additional Voices on the hook by Rigga and Asta Hiza.
4. I Pray is the final song in the EP which for lack of a better word is a Psalm fused with Proverbs ending in worship. Produced by Taz.
“I am honored to invite you to tag along on this musical journey, praying that each lyric will ignite hope, and become an expression of your own personal moments of conversations with God. The journey to the EP started last year around April but due to a lot of things to balance and logistical setbacks it was finally completed in February this year.” Bupe on the backstory of the EP.
