Gospel artist Dan Tutu is set to release his highly anticipated single, Rai, a vibrant celebration of life in Christ, on December 19, 2024.
Rooted in the Hausa language, Rai translates to “Life” and serves as an inspiring anthem for the festive season.
Blending the infectious beats of Amapiano with the soulful rhythms of Afrobeats, Rai delivers a fresh and dynamic sound that promises to resonate with audiences across cultures.
The song captures the essence of the gospel from northern Nigeria, showcasing Dan Tutu’s unique artistry and deep spiritual message.

The free gift of salvation and God’s residence in the believer is such a priceless gift. Therefore, I deliver to you in dancing, jumping, and singing God’s inspired revelation in a song—Rai,” shares Dan Tutu.
The track, crafted with intricate melodies and uplifting lyrics, comes at the perfect moment to enrich Christmas celebrations and will be available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Boomplay.
