Renowned Nigerian gospel singer, Mike Abdul, has Released a new single titled Fuji Rush, a dynamic fusion of traditional Fuji music, contemporary gospel themes, and pop influences.
Abdul described the track as a major creative milestone in his career, which spans over two decades. The former Midnight Crew member is widely known for his high-energy performances and innovative blending of musical genres.
He likened the new project to gospel music “wearing agbada”, a metaphor underscoring its rich cultural flavour and wide appeal.
“The single departs from the purely traditional format of Fuji while retaining its core cultural elements, with a rich blend of heavy percussion, string and horn progression,” he explained.
“It’s Fuji at its core but with elements of pop and other genres woven in. What’s interesting is how gospel is now pushing the boundaries of Fuji, which traditionally wasn’t seen as gospel-friendly. That shift is exciting. Rap has done it. Afrobeat has done it. Fuji Rush is doing it.”

According to Abdul, the single carries a deeper message aimed at resonating with street-savvy and culturally grounded youth, helping reshape how gospel music is viewed among contemporary audiences.
As the founder of Spaghetti Records, he reaffirmed his mission to create culturally relevant music that stays true to the message of Jesus Christ.
“This isn’t about keeping gospel in a corner, it’s about going into the culture, speaking the language of the streets and flipping the script so they can be saved. That’s the energy Fuji Rush is bringing to the narrative,” he added.
