In a significant move for faith-inspired art, acclaimed Afro-gospel artiste and culture architect, Gaise Baba, has officially launched the music video for his latest single, 'We Outside'. The release, which occurred on 3 December 2025, represents a bold continuation of his two-decade mission to weave spiritual messages into the fabric of everyday culture.
A Visionary's Two-Decade Journey
For nearly 20 years, Akinade Ibuoye, known globally as Gaise Baba, has carved a unique niche in the music industry. More than a singer-songwriter, he describes himself as a culture architect, deliberately using his art to shape values and perspectives. His career, from early fusions of Afrobeats, Yoruba idioms, and gospel to the recent hit 'No Turning Back II' with Lawrence Oyor, is defined by boundary-pushing creativity anchored in faith.
The 'We Outside' Movement Takes Visual Form
Produced by Sess and directed by Wisdom Fortune, 'We Outside' arrives as the follow-up to his praised single with Oyor. The track rides a mid-tempo Afro-pop rhythm, delivering a spiritually charged anthem. Its core message celebrates believers who actively live out their faith not just within churches, but in the streets, studios, and boardrooms where daily life unfolds.
The video's power is amplified by a remarkable cast of Nigerian achievers, each a leader in their field. The lineup includes:
- Leke Alder (Consulting)
- Tara Fela-Durotoye (Beauty Industry)
- Funke Bucknor-Obruthe (Event Planning)
- ID Cabasa (Music Production)
- Funto Ibuoye, Tunde Onakoya (Sports), Stan Nze (Film)
- Moyo Oluwole (Interior Design), and Reinhard Tega (Real Estate)
This collective embodies the song's thesis: that the Gospel's place is wherever people are creating, building, and inspiring.
A Cultural Declaration for a New Generation
Explaining the vision behind the project, Gaise Baba stated, "We are not abandoning what has been built but taking the flame from the altar and setting the streets on fire with the Gospel." He emphasized that 'We Outside' is more than a song; it is a cultural declaration for a generation that is unashamed of its faith and ready to carry light into every sphere of society.
With its infectious energy and lyrical depth, this release reinforces Gaise Baba's position as one of Afro-Gospel and urban culture's most distinctive voices. His work extends beyond music into social impact, notably through the LightOut high school initiative, the Aramanda festival, the Lounge464 cultural hub, and his culture-shaping podcast, Black Flame.
