Can Rap Music Be Used To Worship God?

  Worship. What comes to you mind when you hear the word? Oh wait. Let me guess. Slow song. When I say "Hey can I rap during your worship session?" Huh? What are you talking about? I'll get all the stares that scream weirdo!
   So with the fixed perception we possess about what worship is, is there a place for rap music in worship?
     Last time I checked.....aye you know that dictionary we have on smartphones? It described worship as honour, respect and the things you do to show your love and devotion, in our case to God. Did it mention slow song? I don't  think so.
      Beautiful Eulogy (pictured above) are definitely masters of using rap music in worship sessions. Can we ever forget their 2018 album Worthy?
   Beautiful Eulogy is a 3-man hip-hop band made up of rappers Braille and Odd Thomas and their producer Cortland Urbano.

Song Review: Armies By KB

So a couple of days ago, we were blessed with the release of this single by Christian Hip-hop sensation Kevin Burgess. Personally, I get excited anytime I hear KB has released a new song because he never disappoints. I believe Armies by KB is a song for today. A favourite Bible passage for a lot of people would be the 91st Psalm, which has to do with God's promises of protection concerning the people He loves. Armies is a song that reminds us of the fact that everywhere we go, we have an army of angels surrounding us.               LYRIC BY LYRIC REVIEW  Danger, giants Battle is my story But alone, I won't know That's my glory Shadows you cannot hide me, uh My King will fight The God of angel armies Is always by my side  So this is reminiscent isn't it? Remember that song by Chris Tomlin? Whom Shall I Fear? I've always been a hip-hop person, so I'll always prefer KB's version. We live in a world where we constantly wrestle against S

I Can't Breathe (And I should probably apologize to Lecrae)

  Look, I know I'm not in the best position to speak about everything happening in America, and for some good reason (in my opinion). First of all, I'm Nigerian. From Africa. And though I've seen episodes of police brutality, I haven't experienced racism (well, there was this time, on Facebook...). And then, I only hear stuff on news, it's kinda different when you're there to experience it first hand. Like it's your daily experience.    Well, in 2016, Trip Lee released his album The Waiting Room (one of his best in my opinion), and there's this song there that gave me a little taste of the typical Black American experience. I'm talking about Lord Have Mercy by Trip Lee.    In the second verse, Trip said; "He made me a black man, with all black clothes  Black coffee, blacking out on all my flows But why is black a problem here for all my bros?  And why they tryna put a tag on all our toes?  Black fists on the pick sticking out my 'fro He made
