My New Favorite Running Song

September 3, 2009, by Zack No comments yet

You’ve seen a couple of posts here about Lecrae.

Today I want to let you know about another very talented rap artist associated with Lecrae and  the Reach Records label.

He calls himself ‘Tedashii’ (and he tweets!), and he just released a new album, called “Identity Crisis” (you can buy it here).

My favorite track from the album is called “Make War“.

How can you not love a hard-core rap track that starts out with a John Piper sermon snippet?

But the whole message of the song is awesome and, I think, very appropriate for the church in our age.

I haven’t made time to sit down and try to think poetically in a while, but whenever I read John Piper’s poetry, it challenges me to make the time.

This poem, titled “Job, Part 4″, provides such amazing insight into the character of God, and stirs in me thoughts and emotions that this world keeps me so distracted from!

Lecrae is definitely my new favorite hip hop artist.

His newest album, Rebel, has been in heavy rotation on my playlist for weeks.

One of my favorite tracks is called “Don’t Waste Your Life” (based on the Piper book).
