Kingzkid releases ‘Wadom’
Ghanaian gospel recording artist and songwriter, Emmanuel Essuman Mensah, widely known as KINGZKID has released another single for music lovers.
Featuring contemporary praise and worship icon Joe Mettle on his single “W’adom (Your Grace)’, the Afrobeat rhythm song was purposely released as a medium to spread the good news about the Grace of God that has been revealed to us through our Lord Jesus Christ.
W’adom comes with a groove that is not new to Joe Mettle who makes a special appearance on the song.
Kingzkid has over the years continued to be a force to reckon with in the urban gospel setting in Ghana.
He is without doubt one of the pacesetters and an inspiration to the up-and-coming urban gospel acts who are bringing hip-hop, rap, and Afrobeat acts to praising God.
Kingzkid in an interview said that the rationale behind the release was the fact that God’s grace was the foundation on which our lives were built.
“Our lives are testaments of the grace of God. God’s grace is the foundation on which our lives are built, the canvas on which our lives are painted. We are nothing without the Grace of God and made this beautiful song with a man who inspires me. I hope it blesses you. We are who we are by the Grace of God. Period! Thank you Joe Mettle.” KINGZKID said.
The official video of W’adom (Your Grace) was directed by Finn Mensah and produced by Laxio Beats.
KINGZKID is a Ghanaian Christian hip-pop recording artist and songwriter whose popular music “I Got My Jesus On” transformed his life to a whole new level.
Born on September 29, 1989, KINGZKID released his first album titled “Vindicated” in 2011 and second “Metamorphosis” in 2014.
As it stands, he is the first African Gospel Musician to win the Gospel Academy Awards ‘Best International Act 2019 award’.
