Rappers n rockers we have heard on high

Peace on earth, good will to...?

This is the actual bible verse of Luke 2:14, the angels proclaiming: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” We have so many misconceptions about what God's Word says and we have twisted Scripture in order to create a god of our own desires--a universal sky daddy that offers unconditional love to humanity without repentance in the name of Christ.

We are still AT WAR

Acoustic/rocker Tehdi Durham swoops in quite unexpectedly on Christmas Eve to thankfully remind us of the fact that, even though the gift of God the Father to humanity through the birth of his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, is a marvelous miracle to behold, the end game as far as the unsaved world is concerned is still not over. Those of us who have been redeemed, who love the brethren (1 John 3:14), must prayerfully continue to be a witness and a testimony to a dying planet that God's gift for salvation is conditional upon calling to the Lord in prayer and repentance or turning from sin with the help of God's grace and the gift of the Holy Spirit. YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN! JOHN 3:7

It is a collection in hip hop fashion that reminds us we are all 'conceived in sin and shapen in iniquity' (Psalm 51:5) and that it is only by God's mercy and grace that we can inherit the kingdom. Check out some live footage of him performing. Watch the video

My band, Patient Chill, will be releasing the rest of their EP on Monday, December 28. Click hereto see singer, Anshu Jha, doing some interpretive dance for the title track.

Album Reviews: Deviant by Roman Tilus

 Christian hip hop artist, Roman Tilus, is one of the hardest working musician evangelists that I've had the privilege of featuring on this site. Every time I get on the Internet, I see him posting videos, rapping for Jesus somewhere in his home town or getting kudos from other members in the Body of Christ. Therefore, it is my pleasure to review and promote his latest album drop, Deviant.

Roman Tilus

This four song collection starts out with the track, Blessings, and deals with a theme every red blooded American male struggles with--the battle between the Spirit and the flesh when human love comes knocking at the door:

Do you know we're sinners cause your body is a blessing?

The singer has a dream and a mission for God and he doesn't want to get tripped up and caught in the sin of fornication so he proposes that he and the girl elope. The added harmonies by singer, JXSTVY, makes this a grooving melody laid over an easy beat for your listening pleasure.

The next song, Tetris, begins with a direct address to the Holy Trinity and thanks him for direction and focus in life. Calling the Lord a spiritual 'chiropractor' in one verse is the kind of imagery that I really like and the entire track has a kind of mellow freestyle feel to it which I also appreciate.

Roman teams up with singer, Big Breeze, on the third track, Impact, and creates a soul stirring harmony of praise and wonder with lyrics that describe the spiritual transformation of conversion from darkness to light in the believer's life:

God is so high I can touch the sky...

Always keep a Bible by my side...

The song describes it but you have to have lived it to really catch the beauty of the Lord's impact in your life.

Finally, the last track Goat, is signature Roman at his best and is a song about sincere Christians, those who don't treat the faith 'like a joke' but realize that we are sinners and it is only through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that we are made sheep in his flock and with Him leading the pack, you have to agree with Mr. Tilus that we are indeed 'going somewhere now' and to a much better place.

Musical postpartum depression at Christian Musicians Alive

It's a boy/girl song!

I feel like I should pass out cigars. My band Patient Chill's first song, From Now to Eternity, is officially out and poised to take India by storm! You read that right. Let me explain...

Shifting Hemispheres

So I followed the awesome singer, Anshu Jha, back to her native land even though she now hails from Sydney, and I found that not only is it more affordable to social media market in that country of 1.3 billion users where Spotify launched two years ago, but the Snapchat is deeper and wider than the Ganges! They are seemingly hungry for Christian themed music, unlike the West which is bloated on First Noels and the like. I haven't even spent 1500 Rupees yet ($20 US) and already I've managed to get almost 2000 visits to patientchill.com to promote the song and the rest of the album which you should pre-save RIGHT NOW!

Meanwhile, closer to home, good old fashioned Christian rapper, Darius Monroe, drops a beat on the court with his dope video, One of Them Greats. Honestly, speaking from a former world traveller's perspective, there's no place like the neighborhood basketball court to make me homesick for the hood where I grew up in Detroit. Give a look and a listen.

And nothing cures the post-release music blues like a great box of Christmas chocolates which I compare to blogging and life in general a la Forrest Gump in a blog post. Thanks MB for the treats!

Christian Musicians Alive features rapper Darius Monroe

Darius might not be world famous but I think (and Christ knows) that he is certainly 'one of those greats'! Read on:

Please tell us about your musical journey in Christ. How long have you been making music? Any formal training? Professional experience?  

I starting making music seriously this year. Before I was making video recordings of myself rapping over other song instrumentals.

What music inspires you the most (Christian or secular)? Name your favorites. 

Bizzle, lecrae, Bryan Trejo

How has making music made a difference in your Christian walk?

It keeps me accountable. I’m making music for the masses and I do not want to misrepresent God.

What do you do to stay sharp with your God given skills? Do you have a daily routine? 

I continue to think, write, freestyle, and record.

What projects are you working on now? What are your hopes for them? 

I am working on my new album that is going to drop in the middle of next year. Stay tuned for that. I hope that people can relate to it, vibe to it, grow spiritually from it. But most all I pray that God gets the glory from it.

What is your favorite Bible verse that inspires you to praise God through music?

Galatians 6:9

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Let us know where we can follow you and your music and give us any last words of encouragement, advice or anything else you wish to add. 

You can follow me by typing in Darius Monroe on Facebook or rap dariusmonroe on all other platforms. Remember to follow Christ. A good relationship with God will always keep you blessed.
