My problem with dance music is that they sneak toxic lyrical content under these fun beats and us dancing to it is us approving the message, consciously or subconsciously subscribing to the harmful ideology that produces such behaviour and attitude towards others.
Regaaeton, Hip hop, Rnb, Ndombolo, many more genres and styles, they sound good but say things that I dont condone. It makes me stand up straight, make a grimace in disgust and I enjoy the song less to the point where I stop listening to most artists . Sometimes I am handpicking secular music , sometimes I ditch it entirely for Christian Hip Hop with great sound! Because a lot has improved since the mid-10s when I first gave Christian Hip Hop a chance to evade "Illuminati music". But the sound wasnt my cup of tea, the wordplay was too simple and the emotions in me weren't stirted up enough by this tame and timid music. God is the Lion of Juda, but the lion who seeks to devour sheep seemingly had all the good music. Now I know that I will always have Congolese christian music and international gospel from Kenya or the USA (whether it's Kirk Franklin/Mary Mary, Gospel groups, choirs or hillsong). But what about music with beats and rhymes? What about riffs and runs in music that you dont pray to? Cant you surround ourselves with God's music throughout the whole day?
I am happy to see the improvements and progress of Christian hip hop amd Christian Rnb. I am a new fan of many artists ,some of which are active in the ministry through song or as youth pastor who deveral years already.
I can share the songs I like andnthe artists that I discovered since my rediscovery.
Still, some model their sound a lot after secular templates and trends (a christian Drake, Eminem, J cole or Kendrick Lamar).
Same goes for singers who sound like male or female rnb singers or pop stars in the secular music industry.
Some like this "Pendant" music because their listening habits dont really have to change . But I prefer individuals with own sounds and words and a drive snd a vision that is 1 of 1.
The souls still being reached and saved, so the main focus is the world of unbelivers for some artists who want to evangelize through their music.
Next year, I'll share my christian music that I created as an Artist in the form of albums.
While I must admit that Jesus came to heal and save us and not to enjoy the company of the righteous, I feel like we need music to goes deeper into the reality of thebfaith and the mystery of the Word of God. I want to make music for the believers who want to go forward and get even closer to God after being saved and called Child Of God.
What do you do after you give your life?
What can you learn in the Bible?
How can youblive a fulfillingsoirtual life?
How tonresolve inner conflicts by having worldly ambitions, sinful flesh and temptations by Satan?
How to repent and rededicate yourself to Christ?
And many more questions about how to live as a christian and think about God, Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
I want to help us with what I have learned from my father who is a Pastor and what my life experiences as lifelong Christian have informed me with. I will heal and deepen my own faith as me making Christian art and deciding to share my testimony forces me to reflect on my actions and the longings of my heart and desires of the flesh. So maikng Christian music is not to brag about my Holiness, but a reminder of my human flaws and virtues, my values and vision, and above God's faithful love for his imperfect child.
Ok, I know I don't talk about my religion that much, but so you all know this: I am a Christian.
Now that we've got that out of the way, do you like artists like Lecrae, Tobymac, 1KPhew, and Hulvey? My friend from church just introduced me to a relatively new artist-- J22.
If you like Christian Hip-Hop and Rap, this young upstart is the artist for you. Genius lyrics, boppable music, and a heart to worship help this kid to really shine.
@reachrecords you getting this?
Why am I promoting this kid? His music has helped me a lot personally, and my friends and I just can't stop playing it! So go spam it. Now.
