Journey

Derrick Musisi, known as Dpass Rhymes, stands out in the Ugandan music landscape with his distinct infusion of dancehall into gospel, echoing his firm spiritual beliefs encapsulated in his stage name: 'Devoted, Planted And Strengthened in Salvation.' He began crafting his sound in high school, inspired by gospel luminaries like King Wesley and Apass, which led to his breakout single, 'Yesu Asobola.' His energetic compositions like 'Way Maker' show his prowess in weaving together genres such as bongoflava and afrobeats. A versatile collaborator, Dpass Rhymes frequently works with producers like Josh Willz and others, adding depth and polish to his soulful messages. In 2025, 'Wakisa Nyo' further entrenched his mission to energize the gospel genre as he called on non-believers to embrace divine mercy. Beyond the studio, Dpass Rhymes is devoted to outreach, collaborating with Gospel Arise Slums Ministries in efforts to support street children, cementing his role not just as an artist, but as a compassionate community leader.
