“RYT PATH” (pronounced Right Path) is a collective of artist & creatives, and a subsidiary of Ryt Path Co. which exists as an independent record label out of Kaduna, Nigeria. “RYT PATH” was birthed out of a need to keep the Christian Hip-Hop community in Nigeria alive. The group held a camp back in September 2021 specifically to rekindle the fire that once was in the Christian Hip-Hop space, but something bigger happened. Relationships and bonds were formed, the “RYT PATH” Community became established and the collective was born.
Ryt Path Co. is currently based in Kaduna, Nigeria, but members of the “RYT PATH” collective are currently spread around cities in Northern Nigeria (Kaduna, Zaria, Kafanchan, Abuja, Jos and Makurdi). Making the best art that reflects God is what drives their music and art as a collective.

If you’ve ever been to a bonfire/campfire event, you know it’s always lit (pun intended). People come together to share stories, celebrate, dance etc. In our case, this fire is the Holy Spirit To simplify, it’s a collection of fire songs we made at camp
Eazy Bob Wizzy
“RYT PATH” lessons from making this album is that – Community is key. “There’s a lot that can be accomplished when people come together with a common goal. Especially in a case like ours where we’re all encouraging each other in our walk with God, as well as helping each other create quality art.”
Whenever we hear the words “peer pressure” we immediately think negatively, but good peer pressure exists, and this is what happens in our community. I’d like to use this as a segue to give a shoutout to Peer Pressure MCs, one of the best Hip-Hop duos/groups out of Africa right now. Check them out!
“RYT PATH” expectations from “CAMPFIRE” album is for God to use this album to ignite something transformative in the lives of people. We want this album to inspire creativity.

Ghanaian Hip Hop/Afropop rapper and song writer Rush The High Priest is out with a new drill record titled “STUBBORN” which features Texas based female rapper VerbPro 12:4 and is produced by DARA JT.
Rush uses this song to institute a global Christian anthem that amplifies the fact that as Christians we only have one voice that we respond to and that is the voice of God.
“STUBBORN” is a song about listening to God’s voice above all else and being deaf to all outward distractions and to the instructions of the devil. The Bible reminds us to be transformed by the renewal of the mind and never to conform to the standards of the world for it leads to destruction and also evil minds corrupt good manners so there’s only one way and is it to be “STUBBORN” to the instructions of the devil and it is my prayer that everyone who listens to this song will get the understanding that the only way to eternal life is to be obedient to only one voice and that’s the voice of God and be “STUBBORN” to the others.

It’s the best of both worlds as iconic Multi award winning Nigerian-American gospel hip-hop artiste, BOUQUI, teams up with veteran Australian-American singer-songwriter, Chris Falson, author of the iconic gospel classic, made popular by legendary singer, Ron Kenoly, “All Honor”.
BOUQUI breathes new life into the beloved worship anthem, as she infuses her eclectic style of hip-hop, over Chris Falson’s infectious vocals and harmonies, laced over a potpourri of soft rock and hip-hop beats produced by the hugely talented MMj, BOUQUI’s elder brother.

Explaining how he had originally written the song for worship in his local church, and a chance meeting with a mutual acquaintance led to the song being recorded by Ron Kenoly, which sparked off his ministry as a renowned songwriter and worship leader.
BOUQUI, a recent graduate of Leadership Principles from Harvard Business School, is no stranger to creating instant classics and timeless music, and her latest collaboration with Chris Falson is set to fit in nicely alongside her other evergreen collection of songs. In her words, “with this re-fix of “All Honor”, I’m attempting to start a new genre, I call it W.R.A.P – Worship with Rhythm and Poetry. It’s where worship meets poetry.”

Q. What birthed the project Revelation Season 1 & 2 and who produced both albums?
A. What birthed the album was the inspiration we got living in times like these and my brother T-Junction came with the name Revelation Season, and Revelation Season 2 came as a follow up because of the amount of music we have made and also the reviews of Revelation Season 1. Many people don’t know that i’m a producer as well so I produced all projects on the album.
Q. What’s your favorite song of both albums and why?
A. I don’t have a favourite song on the album all tracks holds a very special value to me because of how it came and the energy we get out of them.

Q. What’s your insight on CHH in South Africa; what do you see less and what would you like to see more of?
A. The quality of music in Christian Hip-Hop in South Africa does not compete with the secular sound and people, I would love to see more artists get the standard of sound to be able to compete.
Q. What is next for JimoWorld, a Revelation Season 3 or something entirely different?
A. Definitely more content, music videos and definitely Revelation Season 3.
Q. Any advice or message for fellow artists?
A. My advice for artists is to first find your purpose in Christ before making music because music is a very powerful and dangerous tool if you don’t know how to use it, for those in Christ, people appreciate quality music that displays your character, experience and perspective and that can ultimately glorify God.
