Mörda was beaming with pride when he announced the news to his followers on Monday. 

“What an honour and privilege it is to be part of The Color Purple movie. Contributing musically to a film is a dream come true, contributing to a film as huge as The Color Purple is mind-blowing. Thank you for giving me that.

“I must thank Gamma, Asante Music, and all who helped make this happen. Brenden Praise and I are very excited to be part of a remix that already sounded so amazing. The Color Purple soundtrack is out now.”
