I finished the last song on the "Resist" record today. Up-tempo "Banga" track called "won't back down". This will be my first "official" CD (actually my second), and it goes to the presses sometime after the final mixdown session tomorrow. I've been working with uncover record industry mogul Chris Clay throughout this journey. He has guided me, encouraged me, pushed me, led me, kicked me (figuratively) to get me to this point. He has challenged my faith, my belief in my abilities... my manhood at times, all to get me to see the truth about whether or not I truly want this and if I can do it. At one point I started wondering if I could really do an album. Then somewhere along the lines it dawned on me - you HAVE done this. This is actually your sophomore CD. Duhhh?
I realized that I had to go back to step one. Why was I actually doing this? The answer came from deep inside my spirit, like a childhood memory conjures the voice of a loved one - long gone from us.
Psalm 40:3 "And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD."
I do this because its the mandate and mantle that God placed upon my life. That's step one... finding out what God wants of your abilities. Why did he put your gifts in you? What are you to do with those gifts to give him Glory? I don't sound like anyone else. I don't fit the molds of the industry as the "suits" dictate that I should. What I can do is give God glory in a way that they haven't seen before. I can give REAL Unapologetic praise and worship the way God gives it to me. All I can do is be me. There is a real anointing on the music God has given me. So here we go.
