Rising artist Given Da Chief and renowned producer J-Smash are proud to announce the release of their joint EP, Gospel Ya Vhaswa, arriving on October 10, 2025.
Translated as “Gospel for the Youth” in English, this powerful body of work is a direct message to young people, offering hope, guidance, and connection through music.
The EP captures the realities of everyday life, love, struggle, choices, and the constant pursuit of growth. While also serving as a sermon of encouragement to overcome hardship and seek better paths.
With a unique balance of raw honesty and uplifting storytelling, Gospel Ya Vhaswa speaks to the heart of youth culture. Each song is a reflection of lived experiences, struggles familiar to many, and the resilience needed to rise above them.
As a collaborative project between Given Da Chief, whose lyrical storytelling is both heartfelt and relatable, and J-Smash, one of South Africa ’s most respected producers, Gospel Ya Vhaswa is set to be “one for the books”. Together, they deliver a sound that blends street authenticity with a gospel-like message of hope and empowerment.
