Jarmine Da Truth: The Rising Voice of South African Gospel Hip-Hop

In a music scene dominated by amapiano and mainstream hip-hop, Jarmine Da Truth is carving out a unique space with his faith-driven lyrics, electrifying beats, and unshakable message of hope. Hailing from Johannesburg, South Africa, this gospel hip-hop artist is on a mission to merge the power of the Gospel with the raw energy of hip-hop, creating music that uplifts, inspires, and challenges listeners.

Who Is Jarmine Da Truth?

Born Jermaine Mokoena, Jarmine Da Truth grew up in Soweto, where he was exposed to both the struggles of township life and the transformative power of faith. His early love for hip-hop legends like Lecrae, KB, and South Africa’s own JR shaped his musical journey, but it was his personal relationship with God that turned his passion into a calling.

Unlike traditional gospel artists, Jarmine doesn’t shy away from hard-hitting beats and streetwise lyricism—he meets people where they are with a sound that resonates in clubs, churches, and cyphers alike.

The Sound: Gospel Meets Hip-Hop

Jarmine’s music blends:
✔ Booming 808s & soulful samples – Tracks that hit hard but carry a message.
✔ Lyrical depth – No watered-down faith; he tackles real-life struggles with biblical truth.
✔ Authentic storytelling – From his own battles to testimonies of redemption, every bar has purpose.

His breakout singles, like "Grace on Me" and "Testify," have gained traction not just in gospel circles but also in mainstream hip-hop spaces, proving that you don’t have to compromise the message to make impactful music.

Why Jarmine Da Truth Stands Out

1. Bridging the Gap – He speaks to both the streets and the pews, making gospel hip-hop accessible to a younger generation.

2. Lyrical Substance – In an era of mumble rap, his wordplay and depth stand out.

3. Live Performances – Whether at a festival or a church revival, his energy is contagious.

What’s Next for Jarmine Da Truth?

With a new project rumored to drop soon and collaborations with other SA gospel rap artists, Jarmine is poised to take his movement even further. His mission? To prove that hip-hop can be both fire and faith-filled.
