As a hip-hop artist, I’ve never been content with the status quo or perception(s) of hip-hop. Much of the hip-hop that I grew up listening to pushed the boundaries and challenged people’s beliefs of what a rapper could be. I was moulded by the theological and intellectual depth of artists like K to the 2nd Letter and Lecrae . I found solace in the discographies of artists like Kendrick Lamar whose intricately crafted stories and emotive delivery held ransom my attention at a young age. The use of metaphors, punchlines and intricate rhyme schemes in J. Cole and Eminem’s bodies of work served as my lyrical foundation. In so many ways, God offered Hip-Hop to me and my humble use of the pen is simply my offering back to Him and the culture He has used, and continues to use to mould me.
