Tonight’s guest is a Hip Hop artist out of North Carolina that is bringing some positivity to that music scene.  Though he has been making rhymes since he was young, he has only relatively recently started using his verses for the good of sharing his faith.  His 2017 EP titled, “Captive” set the tone for his positive message of his hope in God.  After a few more singles and EP’s, he eventually released his first full length album titled “Stained Glass Thoughts” in 2020.  In 2021, he has released two singles (one of which is featured on this episode) that reflect on the difference between really living for the faith that he proclaims and just acting the part. 

Huge shoutout to Billy James' crew  ("The Section") for showing up on YouTube and really celebrating his music.  Loved seeing them support one of their own, and ya'll def need to check out their music as well.  There are some audio issues in the middle of the episode, but the content is definitely worth a listen regardless.
