Leading African music collective Halal Afrika has joined forces with celebrated gospel voices Joe Mettle (Ghana) and Joe Praize (Nigeria) for a powerful new praise anthem titled “Enemies Dey Scatter.”
The vibrant new release is a declaration of the power in the name of Jesus and the victory that comes with calling on His name. With a bold message of triumph, the song reminds listeners that at the mention of the name of Jesus, every opposition must bow.
“Dey Scatter,” a popular Nigerian expression meaning to shatter, break apart, or disperse, perfectly captures the song’s triumphant message. “Enemies Dey Scatter” is designed to lift the atmosphere, stir joyful praise, and encourage believers to celebrate the victory they have in Christ.
Driven by infectious African rhythms and rich traditional instrumentation, the song delivers an energetic fusion of contemporary gospel and African musical expression. It is a sound created not just to be heard, but to get people on their feet in praise.
Get your praise up. Let the enemy bow.
Known for its spirit-filled music and cross-border collaborations, Halal Afrika continues to build a growing catalogue of songs that connect African musical heritage with a powerful message of faith. Over the years, the collective has collaborated with artists from different parts of the world, producing songs that have resonated with audiences across Africa and beyond.
The collaboration with Joe Mettle and Joe Praize further strengthens Halal Afrika’s commitment to bringing together diverse voices within the African gospel music space.
In the coming weeks, Halal Afrika will head to Kigali, Rwanda, for another live recording and worship experience. STREAM HERE
