Tanzanian rapper and lyricist Rapcha (with given name Cosmas Paul Mfoy) releases his hugely anticipated 17-track project, Don't Take God's Credit. Across the album, Rapcha delivers a deeply personal, honest, and emotionally rich collection that blends sharp storytelling with brilliant production. The title, translated in Swahili as Usichukue Sifa Za Mungu, sets the tone: this is spiritual, grounded, and incredibly self-aware music.

Building on the foundation laid by To the Top Vol. 2 (2023), Rapcha leans even harder into what sets him apart — thoughtful lyricism, layered narratives, raw authenticity, and an eye for brilliant collaboration. He raps with an intimate conversational tone that draws listeners in.

Sung primarily in Swahili with touches of English, the album features an impressive roster of collaborators including Banana Zorro, Nini, Lydia Marley, Damian Soul, Mapanch BMB, Dwin, and Leysir Brown, each adding unique dimensions to the project.

From the opening tracks, Rapcha candidly addresses his upbringing and the inner battles that come with stepping out of one's comfort zone. He reflects on youth and missed opportunities, highlighting how fear can lead to stagnation. He had Genesis 3:17–24 — a passage that acknowledges the human experience of facing difficulties and striving to overcome them — woven into his lyrics, pushing listeners to rise above fear and chase what is theirs. These are the kind of thoughtful messages that run deep throughout the album.

In one standout track, Rapcha offers a nuanced critique of how sexuality dominates online spaces. Rather than taking a preachy stance, he expresses genuine exhaustion with internet culture's hypersexualization and how even disagreements devolve into crude sexual insults. This commentary reveals his yearning for more meaningful digital interaction.

The artist also shares glimpses of his multifaceted personality, acknowledging his calm side, his toughness, and his occasional tendency to trust too easily. His delivery feels refreshingly authentic, prioritizing genuine expression over impressive technique.

"Happy Nation" track tackles the sociopolitical landscape of Tanzania, balancing hope with unflinching reality. "We will reach Happy Nation," he affirms, while acknowledging the daily struggles many face—from economic hardship to police oppression. This balance of aspiration and truth gives the album profound resonance.

Sonically, the project demonstrates remarkable intentionality. Each track features unique chord progressions and crisp production, avoiding recycled beats. Rapcha's raw emotional delivery complements the carefully curated soundscape, creating a cohesive listening experience from start to finish.

Don't Take God's Credit is available now on all major streaming platforms, solidifying Rapcha's position as one of East Africa's most thoughtful and compelling voices in hip-hop.
