Local Gospel Artiste Remixes Kanye and Jay-Z’s Otis

MO-2 is a commerce student at Kenyatta University and recording artiste in the gospel music industry. He records his music at ATL Entertainment, specifically working with Richie G, who produced his latest single, Ma Life. He dabbles in zouk, dancehall, kapuka and hip hop.

In Ma Life, he speaks about getting saved and his life in Christ. Ma Life has used a Kanye West-created beat which he used to collaborate with Jay-Z on Otis. MO-2’s version also uses the same sample Kanye used, Try Little Tenderness vocals by Otis Redding.

“I have arranged it in an attractive structure to bring out perfect rhymes, strong lyrics and sweet flow in sync with the Otis beat. Simply, I’ve tried to own the beat,” says MO-2. “In addition, it is a Gospel song where I’m urging sinners to repent and experience a new life under God,” he adds.

MO-2 is currently working on a compilation where he will include all the music he has done so far. He wants to use the project to show off his skills and abilities in different genres. Meanwhile, you can sample his abilities on Ma Life below.
