Xolly Mncwango did not go to the studio to chase a moment — she captured one where it happened. The South African gospel minister released a live double single on May 15, 2026, pairing “Ithemba Lethu (Live at Durban ICC/2025)” with “Ngegama Lakho (Live at Durban ICC/2025),” both recorded at the Durban ICC and released through Universal Music (Pty) Ltd.

“Ithemba Lethu” — translated “Our Hope” — is the emotional center of the release. The song speaks directly to believers in uncertain seasons, carrying a message of hope, trust and perseverance in God. Mncwango’s performance is marked by sincerity and emotional strength, moving between vulnerability and confidence as the live instrumentation and layered harmonies build around her. Nothing about it feels manufactured; it sounds like a room full of people who needed the song as much as they came to sing it.

“Ngegama Lakho” completes the pairing, and together the two tracks make the double single feel like a complete worship encounter rather than two separate releases. Supported by a full live band and a responsive audience, the recordings preserve the atmosphere of authentic African gospel worship — the swell of the crowd, the weight of the room, and a lead voice that knows exactly when to press in and when to let the moment breathe.

The release marks another important milestone in Mncwango’s career as she continues to expand her reach within the gospel music industry. At a time when many listeners are searching for encouragement, healing and renewed faith, she has answered with a project that points them back to hope — recorded live, delivered honestly, and meant to be experienced, not just heard.

Both “Ithemba Lethu” and “Ngegama Lakho” are available now on all major digital streaming platforms.

Limoblaze Links With Johnny Drille for Soulful New Single “Already Loved”

Nigerian-born, UK-based Christian hip hop artist Limoblaze has released a new single, “Already Loved,” featuring Nigerian singer Johnny Drille.

The record is a warm reminder that the love of God is not something believers have to earn. Built on Limoblaze’s signature blend of Afrobeats, hip hop and gospel — with Drille’s soulful touch alongside him — “Already Loved” speaks to the relief of finally realising that the love people have been searching for has already been freely given by the Father.

For the believer who has struggled with feeling unworthy, overlooked, or as though they must prove themselves before God, the song brings its central truth back into focus: before we did anything to deserve it, we were already loved. It is a message of grace, identity and rest in the Father’s love, delivered in the worship-centred style that has made Limoblaze one of the most consistent voices in Christian hip hop.

Born Samuel Onwubiko, Limoblaze has built an international following by representing Jesus through contemporary African sounds, with projects that speak about faith, identity, purpose and life with God reaching audiences far beyond Nigeria and his UK base. “Already Loved” is available now on YouTube and YouTube Music and across streaming platforms.

The single anchors Limoblaze’s four-track EP “Father’s Love,” released on Reach Records, where it sits alongside collaborations with Marizu, Oba Reengy, Emandiong and others. Drille produced and engineered “Already Loved” himself, and the song takes its cue from 1 John 4:19, the assurance that we love because God first loved us. It also marks a reunion: the two artists previously worked together on the 2021 record “This Loving,” and the warmth of that history runs through every bar of the new single.
