Download "Nipishe Nipite (Audio)" By Samuel Michael | SoundFlava

Samuel Michael’s at it again. The guy’s pretty much become the unofficial hype-man of East African gospel, and his latest drop, “Nipishe Nipite,” honestly slaps (in the most worshipful way, obviously). The title means “Let me pass,” which—if you’re into actual human struggle—hits a little different. It’s got this bold, pleading vibe, like, “God, can you just move this nonsense out of my way already?”

His vocals? Straight-up raw. Not one of those over-polished, studio-filtered deals; you feel what he’s pouring out. And the gospel arrangement behind him? Super rich, layered, just enough to make you close your eyes and imagine you’re at a midnight prayer meeting surrounded by people who actually sing in tune.

If you’ve ever stared down a brick wall in your life and said, “Okay, I need some divine shortcuts right about now,” this track’s your anthem. It’s a dose of faith and hope for anyone feeling a bit stuck—preach on, Samuel.
