Meet Ralph Sanda Masai, better known as Cannibal Shattah, a gospel singer who has taken the music scene by storm.

His journey from a secular musician to a gospel artist is a fascinating one, and we're excited to share it with you.

Two years ago, Cannibal left his fans stunned when he revealed that he had gotten saved and quit alcohol and partying.

He attributed his decision to get saved to his opponents using witchcraft against him during his 2017 MCA seat bid in Mtopanga Ward.

After seeing the light, Cannibal dropped his first gospel song, 'Mapenzi', featuring D Sense.

He also featured in the 'Kwanii Remix' with Weezdom, DJ Sadic, Kris Erroh, Holy Dave, and Stonee Jiwe.

However, it's his latest gospel song, 'Sitokukana', that has got everyone talking.

Released in [published_at], 'Sitokukana' is a Swahili word that means 'I won't deny you', and the song is all about praising the man above for the things he has done in your life.

Although Cannibal still raps in the same style as he did when he was a secular musician, the difference now is what he's rapping about.

With 'Sitokukana', Cannibal has proven that he can make headways as a gospel artist if he's consistent with his music.

Watch 'Sitokukana' here and tell us what you think.
