Okay… let’s talk about what is really going on here. Just when we thought we had fully processed the last AfroGospel moment from the Sweet Psalmist himself, David Nkennor, he returns—again—with Same OG on yet another refreshing collaboration titled “Surest Daddy.” And honestly, at this point, it’s safe to say these two are enjoying themselves, because the chemistry is undeniable and the results speak loudly.
Not too long ago, many listeners were still recovering from David Nkennor’s bold and refreshing step into the AfroGospel space—a move that stirred conversations, excitement, and even a bit of playful controversy. Some jokingly accused Same OG of “carrying our Naija Don Moen into the streets,” a humorous way of saying that David’s usually solemn, deeply reverent worship style had been infused with a more street-conscious, groove-friendly Afro sound. But jokes aside, one thing is absolutely clear: when David Nkennor and Same OG come together, the outcome is effortless, intentional, and beautifully balanced.
“Surest Daddy” is not just another AfroGospel release; it is a warm, reassuring declaration of trust in God’s unwavering faithfulness. The song’s message is simple yet deeply profound—God remains dependable in every season, and no matter what comes our way, we are secure because we have a Surest Daddy. In a time where uncertainty seems to be the only constant, this song arrives as a timely reminder that our confidence does not rest in circumstances, but in God’s unchanging nature.
What makes “Surest Daddy” especially fitting is its placement as a song to begin the year with. It speaks directly to hope, assurance, and spiritual stability, boldly affirming that “2026 sure for us” because our foundation is God Himself. The song doesn’t deny challenges or pretend that life is always smooth, but it emphasizes that God’s faithfulness remains consistent regardless of what we face. That message alone makes it a powerful anthem for stepping into a new year with faith and confidence.
Sonically, the song leans into an AfroSoul feel—smooth, relaxed, and intentionally chilled. It’s the kind of track that doesn’t rush you but gently pulls you in. The rhythm is soothing, the melodies are warm, and the overall vibe feels like a calm conversation with God rather than a loud proclamation. This laid-back yet intentional sound makes it perfect for reflective moments, early morning drives, or quiet time playlists. It’s the type of song that grows on you the more you listen, until you realize you’ve had it on repeat without even noticing.
The seamless collaboration between David Nkennor and Same OG once again proves their ability to merge depth with accessibility. David brings his signature sincerity and spiritual weight, while Same OG adds a modern AfroGospel flavor that keeps the sound fresh and relatable. Neither overshadows the other; instead, they complement each other in a way that feels organic and unforced. This balance is what makes the song resonate so strongly—it feels authentic, not experimental for the sake of trends.
Ultimately, “Surest Daddy” is a song that comforts, reassures, and uplifts. It doesn’t try too hard, yet it delivers exactly what the soul needs: a reminder that God is faithful, dependable, and ever-present. Whether you’re stepping into the year with excitement, caution, or quiet hope, this track meets you right where you are.
So yes—this is definitely one of those songs you start the year with, and somehow, it stays with you long after. Calm, confident, and full of faith, “Surest Daddy” is proof that AfroGospel, when done right, can be both deeply spiritual and beautifully relatable.
