Kaieteur News- In an exciting development for Caribbean gospel music fans, Guyanese gospel sensation Samuel Medas is working on a collaborative single with fellow Guyanese artist Saiku Andrews and Jamaican gospel powerhouse, Rondell Positive.

This partnership brings together three of the region’s most influential gospel voices on a single track for the very first time. Medas, known for hits like “Royalty” and most recently “Good Over Here”, has been a pillar on gospel scene here for years. His powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics have earned him a devoted following throughout the Caribbean and beyond. Now, joining forces with the dynamic Saiku, another favourite from Guyana’s gospel landscape, and Jamaica’s acclaimed Rondell Positive, this new release is expected to be truly special. The collaboration’s title, “Rise Up De Sword,” carries a profound spiritual message that resonates deeply in today’s challenging world. The sword, a proverbial reference to the Bible, symbolises the artists’ collective declaration of dependence on God’s word as the ultimate weapon in life’s battles.

When approached about the collaboration, Medas said the song’s message could be particularly impactful for listeners facing personal struggles, societal pressures, or spiritual warfare. In an era where many feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges, “Rise Up De Sword”, he explained, offers a powerful reminder that the ultimate victory comes not through human strength but through faith and reliance on divine power.

Medas said this collaboration was born from mutual admiration between the artists and a shared vision to unite Caribbean gospel music across national boundaries. “This is ministry in action, uniting our voices to reach more souls. In an industry often characterized by competition, we’re demonstrating how collaboration can elevate the genre and extend our reach to make our message more impactful. When artists come together, especially those with distinct voices and perspectives, they create something greater than the sum of its parts,” he said.

Adding his perspective, Rondell Positive said “I’m absolutely honoured to be collaborating with Samuel and Saiku on this song. When Sammy reached out to me, it was a quick yes because it’s a young man who I’ve seen his work over the years and our spirits are somehow connected. I love the fact that everything he does is word based about impacting people.

It’s an amazing song. I believe it will give people an opportunity to hear authentic music. I believe people will see and experience the glory of God when this music is played, not just in Guyana but across the world. I look forward to seeing what it does. This collaboration is a blessing.”

The song is in its final production stages, and is expected to blend the unique styles of all three artists in a reggae-infused sound. It will be released to the public in the coming weeks.
