For the last two years, it has become a new normal for gospel artists hitting the studio with secular musicians.

For instance, Gospel singer Kevin Kioko, aka Bahati, has been on the receiving end from Kenyans on Twitter (KOT), following his two recent music releases with secular artists.

Bahati first worked with gengetone group Boondocks Gang on a song titled Taniua, which elicited a lot of debate among fans and music critics.

He later released his collaboration project dubbed Kererembe with the genge group, The Kansoul (Madtraxx and Meja).

Mr Seed also released a song Kwa Hao featuring up-and-coming gengetone rapper Madox of Boondocks Gang, comedian Kartelo, rising rapper Vuv and fellow gospel musician Masterpiece.

About 6 months ago, gospel dancehall singer Hopekid featured rapper Khaligraph Jones in a song known as Testimony. Interestingly, it was received well by his fans.

Willy Paul is believed to have triggered the current collaboration wave between the so-called gospel and secular artists. He has done a collabo with Size 8.

Last year, Willy Paul worked with Tanzanian singer Nandy, debuting their first single called Njiwa and later released another hit dubbed Halleluyah.
