If I Die Tonight

I have been disappointed by hip hop these past number of years. It was an art form I grew up on but lately it's become an art form that I am ashamed of. It's not made me proud and it subsequently lost me as a fan and consumer. However, recently I came across this artist by the name of Lecrae and my hope was rekindled. I am not a Christian and anything that includes the words Christian and music, I run from but this song touched me...deeply.

Lecrae has a spiritual tone to his music, it's uplifting AND entertaining which is supposed to be impossible to do in today's music scene, especially hip hop. Yet Lecrae has and is doing that very thing. This tune is called If I Die Tonight and it's off his 2014 release, Church Clothes Vol. 2 and it's not only powerful in it's message, it also shows Lecrae's talents as a wordsmith.

I can't deny that I am a fan and while his message may not strike me like he'd probably like, at least he has me listening and that's a damn good start. If you like this song then check out his cuts Sell Out and Lost My Way off the same album, they won't disappoint you. Enjoy.
