Ive been wondering if he’s going to have features from current Christian artists- tho that would cut into his $ share if he’s doing this all for $. Having Tasha Cobbs & Lecrae as features would not only get the attention of Tasha’s gospel/worship crowd, but also Lecrae’s Christian rap crowd. If he is genuine about this life change & the reverence of praise music, entering that genre with people those genres already love would be the smart thing to do. Idk if Tasha and Lecrae would risk their reputations though. Ohhh, or Koryn Hawthorne...Koryn has a song with Lecrae...
If he hadn’t literally torched his past connections, and continued to be loud about it, I’d say it was definitely a gimmick. I worry that he got ordained (yes..seriously...he apparently did), yet a kid in Awana could probably scorch him in Biblical knowledge. I don’t think he has a pastor that’s guiding him, or being a spiritual leader, and that’s a red flag.
If he’s wanting to just do music, that’s one thing to assess...but if he’s thinking he’s going to suddenly be a ‘pastor’ of a church...that’s a problem from the jump.
I will be shocked if he doesn’t take this album on tour like all other Christian artists do when they have a new record. That’ll be interesting bc he’ll have holdover old fans, new gospel fans, and ppl that will go just to say “I have got to see this, this is crazy.” I bet it’ll sell out stadiums...
