Sabastian is a favourite of many gospel lovers. The youthful singer has touched the hearts of many with his well-thought-out songs, some which are verses from the Holy Bible.
Mudiwa aka Mudiwa Hood released a single titled “10 Over 10” which he said was a tribute to God. The catchy dance tune tells the testimony of his life and was produced by Cyril Tsiga aka Kindahquet, who also featured on the track.
He said the song has a chorus with a Nigerian touch of the popular hit, “My God is Good”.
An accompanying video for “10 Over 10” is out and added value to his growing status as one of the principal lights in gospel hip- hop in Zimbabwe. The video was produced by Blessing Mugove Gatsi.
Mudiwa said “10 over 10” is a sermon of how God Almighty can elevate and upgrade an individual from zero to hero in Christ in a short space of time.
He said he is a living testimony of the grace and love of God thus why he is paying tribute to God.
