He says I wish above all things that you prosper as your soul prospers. God wants us to be blessed, and he wants us to have money” said Goddy Goddy. The song was officially released at the end of 2015 as a part of the W.A.F.I.F (Worship And Faith International Fellowship) Production. The Riddim features other Gospel acts that include Bishop Mclean, Spanner Banner, Mykal Malachi, and many more. The accompanying video medley was shot by noted Director Ariff Butler.
The song has been getting great feedback from the Gospel community so far and is a favourite with many street youths. “The love that I have been getting from the Gospel community has been tremendous. I used the song to minister to the youths especially, and to let them know that there is a better life out there for them” expressed Goddy Goddy. The noted Gospel figure who has been in the music business for over a decade and a half, cited that this project is “History in the making”!
“This has never been done before; a Bishop and his Wife and fellow members of the Congregation doing a Gospel medley on a Dancehall Riddim, this is big. I want to thank all the members of the Church who was a part of this project and helped to make it a reality”.
Rev. Goddy Goddy is looking forward to a few upcoming gigs locally and overseas, and he will be performing his new single among his past hits.
