A spontaneous studio session in Atlanta, Georgia, during 2025 has culminated in the creation of a spiritually-infused musical project, the ‘We Worship Riddim’ EP. The collaboration emerged from an impromptu jam between Kenne Blessin, a renowned lovers’ rock reggae performer, and Nanamous, a gospel artist and promoter.
The creative breakthrough occurred as the two artists, who are also cousins, were experimenting with a vibrant soca rhythm. Kenne Blessin, founder of Dacosta Music Company and the EP’s producer, recounted the moment of inspiration: “He [Nanamous] consistently expressed a desire to work on a soca-inspired track. Upon hearing this particular rhythm, I immediately proposed expanding the collaboration by incorporating additional vocalists we had previously worked with,” he explained.
This flash of inspiration directly led to the six-track extended play record, which debuted in January 2025. The project represents the first formal musical partnership between the two family members, blending gospel themes with Caribbean musical influences.
The EP features Kenne Blessin’s solo contribution titled “Where,” while Nanamous partners with artist Azizi on the collaborative piece “We’ve Been Waiting.” Additional tracks include “We Worship You” by Uni’Verss (a Jamaican-American performer), “My Cry” by Cassandra Glory, “Winning Season” by Lee Priest Johnson, and “The Moment” by Nigerian artist Israel Onova.
This release continues a productive period for Kenne Blessin, a native of St. Thomas, who just one year prior released his second album “Caught My Attention,” followed by the four-song “Blue Flame Riddim” EP in September, which he co-produced.
