Barry Jhay returns with God Fearing Gangster, an EP that explores the tension between faith, ambition and the demands of everyday life.
Blending his soulful Afro-fusion approach with deeply personal storytelling, the project looks at what it means to hold onto spiritual conviction while navigating pressure, uncertainty and the realities of the streets. Its title captures that duality without reducing either side of the story.
At the centre is Done For Me, a focus track that sits within a wider collection shaped by experience, resilience and identity. Barry Jhay approaches the project with the emotional directness that has made personal reflection a defining part of his music.
The EP also builds on his connection to Yoruba musical culture, placing contemporary Afrobeats beside an inherited respect for songs that carry moral and spiritual meaning. It is a project about being tested by life without surrendering the beliefs that help you move through it.
