Afrobeats already moves bodies from Abidjan to Lagos to Kampala. When that same bounce carries a clear faith message, the result is Afrogospel that feels like a party and a testimony at the same time. That is the lane Milo steps into with JESUS OH, a festive, multilingual collab with Nigeria’s Gaise Baba and Uganda’s Levixone.
The pitch is simple and specific: a Pan-African anthem about complete and joyful trust in Jesus. Three countries, three voices, one groove. You hear the Afrobeats / Afro-pop / Afro-fusion frame first — percussion that wants you on your feet, a hook built to travel across languages, and that warm West and East African pull that makes gospel sound like it belongs on a weekend playlist, not only on a Sunday morning. If you do not speak every line, the mood still lands. Celebration first. Conviction right behind it.
Milo is an Ivorian urban gospel artist whose project started after a personal encounter with God that changed the direction of his life. Like a lot of young people around him, he knew the pressure and the noise of that season before a striking dream reset the path. His music career began in 2023 with the single Plus comme avant. The mix he keeps returning to is testimony, biblical truth, and everyday reality. C’est Dieu qui donne is the record that helped him break through on the francophone gospel scene.
He is also a youth pastor in the Églises Vases d’Honneur network and the initiator of the MILO BLOOM TOUR, a campaign that takes music and a message of hope through schools, universities, villages, and cities. That context matters. JESUS OH is not a random feature stack. It is the sound of an artist who already treats stages, classrooms, and church floors as part of the same work.
The industry has noticed. Distinctions include the PRIMUD Awards 2024, the African Talent Awards 2024, the BENIE TV Awards, the Trophée David, and the AFRIMA Awards 2025, where he was named Best Male Artist – African Inspirational Music. JESUS OH also sits in the orbit of his album project 1 Message : Jesus, a record built around one idea and a list of African gospel voices. Gaise Baba and Levixone belong on that list. Gaise Baba has been one of the names pushing Afrogospel into mainstream conversation; Levixone brings the East African worship current into the same room. Putting those three together is not subtle. It is the point.
Afrogospel itself is having a louder year. Artists across the continent are folding Afrobeats drums, Afro-fusion melody, and street-level language into worship without sanding the faith off the lyrics. Playlists tagged Afrobeats gospel keep growing because the production already speaks the language of the clubs and the cars, then turns the content toward praise. JESUS OH fits that moment without pretending to be something else. It is festive on purpose. It is multilingual on purpose. It is about trust, not vague positivity.
Independent artists who work this lane still need the unglamorous part: getting the file onto Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and the rest without giving the catalog away.
