Gaise Baba Delivers Message of Perseverance on New Album 'God Is Cooking'

Award-winning Afrofusion and Afrogospel artist Gaise Baba has released his latest project, God Is Cooking, a thirteen-track album exploring themes of worship, spiritual maturity, and the unseen work of faith. Distributed via ONErpm, the album follows the viral success of his anthem "No Turning Back II."

The Concept of the Wait

The album title serves as a metaphor for the spiritual seasons where outcomes are not yet visible. God Is Cooking emphasizes the confidence that divine work is occurring during periods of waiting. The project is sonically helmed by a production team including Sess, RotimiKeys, Reinhard Tega, and DJ Klem.

Born Akinade Ibuoye, Gaise Baba has spent nearly two decades navigating the intersection of faith and contemporary African culture. Beyond his discography, he is known for founding the LightOut High School Tour, ARAMANDA, and the creative community Foxes on Fire.

Project Structure and Collaborations

The album is divided into two thematic halves. The first section focuses on personal surrender and growth, featuring tracks like "Lenu," "Show Workings" featuring Greatman Takit, and "Want to Grow." The hit collaboration "No Turning Back II" featuring Lawrence Oyor also appears early in the tracklist.

The second half of the project shifts toward collective purpose and continental hope. "Light of Africa" and "We Outside" encourage believers to take their convictions into the public sphere, while "Smile for Joy," featuring Nontokozo Mkhize, addresses expectant joy during seasons of waiting. Other guest appearances include Cofi Boham on "He’s Not Done" and Kaestrings on the spiritual renewal track "Fire."

A Message of Expectation

Gaise Baba describes the project as a tool for encouragement, intended to foster trust in the spiritual process.

"This project is a reminder that God is always at work, even when we cannot see everything He is doing. Every song comes from a place of faith, hope, and expectation. My prayer is that this album encourages people to trust God's process, grow in their walk with Him, and believe that He is still writing beautiful stories for individuals, communities, and Africa as a whole."

The album concludes with "We Will Go," a declaration of missionary intent, finalizing a journey that moves from internal worship to global purpose.
