E’mPraise Inc

E’mPraise Inc. is a Ghanaian Christian gospel and worship group based in Accra, Ghana. The collective is made up of young men and women who have built their ministry around a simple mission: taking the message of Jesus to the world through music. Rather than being centred on a single front person, E’mPraise Inc. operates as a group, with different vocalists, musicians and collaborators contributing to its worship sound. The group is known for contemporary Christian worship that incorporates Ghanaian musical influences and the use of both English and local Ghanaian languages.

E’mPraise Inc. has developed a catalogue that moves between praise, intimate worship, gospel and revival-focused music. Its recorded work includes the E’mpraise Extended Play 2016, Absolute Worship ’16, The Essence of Easter, Intimacy with King Jesus, Spirit and Truth (Chapter One) and The Name Jesus. Songs such as “Odo Mmroso,” “Wo Do Yen,” “Ade Baako,” “Absolute Praise,” “Nye Mawu,” “Jesus” and “The Revival Chant” have helped establish the group within Ghana’s contemporary gospel scene.

In more recent years, E’mPraise Inc. has expanded its musical reach through collaborations with artists from Ghana and other parts of Africa. Its work with musicians such as Ohemaa Mercy, Kweku Teye, Akesse Brempong, Emmanuel Juddah, Efe Grace, Class Lekgwathi and Jackie Mendza reflects the group’s growing interest in cross-border Christian music. The 2026 album Revival Africa, in particular, presents E’mPraise Inc. as a worship collective with a broader African outlook.

Quick Facts

Formation and Early Ministry

E’mPraise Inc. emerged from Ghana’s Christian music and worship community as a collective rather than as a conventional solo-artist project. The group’s public profile describes it as a gathering of gifted young men and women whose purpose is to communicate the Christian message through music. This emphasis on collective worship has remained central to its identity.

The group’s early recorded work dates back to the 2010s. Its E’mpraise Extended Play 2016 included songs such as “Odo Mmroso,” “Wo Do Yen” and “Ade Baako,” while “One God, One Nation” was also released during the same period. These early recordings established the group’s interest in praise and worship while reflecting the musical language of Ghanaian gospel.

Music Career and Development

One of the group’s early landmarks was its involvement in Absolute Worship ’16, a worship project that featured E’mPraise Inc. alongside several established Ghanaian gospel voices. The project included live recordings such as “Monto Yehowa Akwan Ho Nwom,” “Hallelujah Kronkron,” “Hallelujah Yedawase” and several versions of “Intimate Worship Live at the Qodesh” featuring artists including Danney Nettey, Jeshrun Okyere and Beckey Bonney.

The group’s catalogue expanded through the late 2010s and early 2020s. “Absolute Praise” and “Nye Mawu” were released in 2019, while E’mPraise Inc. also appeared on projects by other Ghanaian gospel artists. In 2020, the group contributed to KobbySalm’s In the Midst of Comfort, while “Jesus,” featuring Kobby Mantey, followed in 2022.

This period demonstrated the group’s versatility. While live worship remained an important part of its identity, its recordings increasingly moved between intimate worship, energetic praise and collaborative gospel music.

Musical Style and Influences

E’mPraise Inc.’s sound is rooted in Christian worship but reflects the musical culture of Ghana. The group frequently incorporates English alongside Ghanaian languages, particularly Twi, giving its music a distinctly local character while retaining an accessible message for international listeners. Songs such as “Nye Mawu,” “Odo Mmroso,” “Wo Do Yen” and “Ade Baako” demonstrate this connection to Ghanaian gospel traditions.

The group also places considerable emphasis on live worship. Rather than treating songs simply as short recordings, many of its projects allow worship themes to develop over several minutes. This approach is especially evident in the group’s live recordings and later revival-focused projects.

Its songwriting and repertoire are largely centred on the character of God, praise, surrender, faith and the person of Jesus Christ. This focus became even more pronounced in projects such as The Name Jesus and Intimacy with King Jesus, whose titles themselves reflect the group’s Christ-centred approach.

Notable Songs and Albums

E’mPraise Inc. has released a number of projects over the years. Its early E’mpraise Extended Play 2016 introduced songs including “Odo Mmroso,” “Wo Do Yen” and “Ade Baako.” The group later became associated with Absolute Worship ’16, a live worship project that remains one of its most recognisable early releases.

The group’s later catalogue includes The Essence of Easter in 2023, followed by The Name Jesus, Spirit and Truth (Chapter One) and Intimacy with King Jesus in 2024. Its 2024 release “The Revival Chant,” featuring Emmanuel Juddah, became one of its most prominent recent songs.

“The Revival Chant” was created as a prayer for revival and acknowledged the original composers and artists associated with the songs incorporated into the chant, including Joe Mettle, Nathaniel Bassey, Victoria Orenze and Emmanuel Juddah. The release reflected E’mPraise Inc.’s increasing emphasis on revival and spiritual awakening.

Collaborations and African Reach

Collaboration has become an important part of E’mPraise Inc.’s development. The group has worked with respected Ghanaian gospel musicians including Ohemaa Mercy, Kweku Teye and Akesse Brempong. “Grateful Heart,” featuring Ohemaa Mercy, and “YESU MEGYEFO,” featuring Kweku Teye, are among the group’s notable collaborative recordings.

Its collaborations have increasingly extended beyond Ghana. The group has worked with South African gospel artist Class Lekgwathi, while other recent projects have involved artists including Jackie Mendza, Puleng March and Lucas Maloma. These collaborations have helped give E’mPraise Inc.’s music a broader African dimension.

The 2025 single “Day by Day,” featuring Akesse Brempong, continued this collaborative approach. Released in February 2025, the seven-minute worship song was issued through Makarios Music and became part of the group’s growing contemporary worship catalogue.

Revival Africa and Recent Activities

A major development in the group’s recent career is Revival Africa, released on February 13, 2026. The 13-track album runs for almost two hours and brings together worshippers and artists from several African countries and musical backgrounds. Its tracklist includes “REVIVAL WORSHIP” and “SEND US REVIVAL” with Kweku Teye, “REVIVAL CHANT SA” with Emmanuel Juddah, and “JESO,” “Uyongithwala” and “BAYETE” with Class Lekgwathi.

The album also includes “HOLY” featuring Jackie Mendza and Kweku Teye, “BENEDICTION” featuring Puleng March, and songs involving Lucas Maloma. Other tracks, including “NOT PASS ME BY,” “YESU NKOA” and “TAKE ALL THE GLORY,” reinforce the project’s central emphasis on worship and revival.

The project represents a significant step in E’mPraise Inc.’s evolution. While the group’s earlier work was strongly connected to Ghanaian worship, Revival Africa presents a more explicitly continental vision, bringing together voices and musical expressions from different parts of Africa around the theme of spiritual revival.

Legacy and Influence

E’mPraise Inc.’s contribution to contemporary Ghanaian gospel music lies largely in its collective approach to worship. The group has created a platform through which different singers, musicians and gospel artists can come together without making the ministry dependent on a single personality. That model has allowed it to work with established artists while also creating space for emerging worship voices.

The group’s catalogue also illustrates the development of modern Ghanaian worship music over the past decade. From the praise-oriented songs of its early EP and live worship recordings to the revival-focused projects of the 2020s, E’mPraise Inc. has retained a clear Christian identity while adapting its sound and collaborations to a changing gospel landscape.

With Revival Africa and subsequent releases such as “Gyeme Taata (Lead Me),” released in May 2026, the group continues to develop its ministry beyond its Ghanaian roots. Its work increasingly connects Ghanaian gospel traditions with worshippers and artists across the continent, reinforcing E’mPraise Inc.’s stated mission of taking the message of Jesus to the wider world through music.
