Today's Song - Fly High by Auditory Fabric ft. Chad Jones

Clear sight, got a clear path

I see sin, and I fear past

I'm puttin off that old man

But that new man

 yeah i wear that

You hear that?

God make man

then man make gods

Man rebelled

but God still had his arms out like tank tops

Thank God...

permanently we transformed

no midnight, no Cinderella

Auditory Fabric is an up-and-coming group (consisting of JustWord and Bondservant) that just dropped a new album in September entitled "Heir Craft." Auditory Fabric has a very unique flow with biblical-concepts woven throughout. When I say unique, I mean it only in a positive way - it's completely smooth but concepts they're trying to stress are heavily accented and throughout "Fly High," they deliver a catchy chorus on a haunting beat with the message of a "high life" worth living. Chad Jones is also featured on the track and only adds to the complexity and musicality of the song.

Today's Song - Selah by Omri

Omri describes himself as "a living testimony of the sovereign, saving grace of God." The rapper out of New Orleans works with the members of iSix:5 Music "to produce gospel-centered, Christ-exalting hip hop." In between pursuing a degree of Biblical Counseling and teaching high school Bible and English, Omri spits absolute bars. Check a couple from his song Selah:

...Dumb wits are an idol's living conditions

Despising getting the vision inside a hidden dimension

One glimpse of His high, infinite condition

Delight, unlimited wisdom and non ambivalent diction

Will trump whips with the flyest linen's additions

To rides that's getting attention from fine, effeminate women

Huh Him? He's Messiah, willing to give

His entire image to men who retire livin in sin when

They commit to discipleship and then live

Like they like submission to Him, their environment has been shifted

From crypts of their mindless fickle inventions

To right depictions of wisdom in light of His intervention...

It doesn't end. Seriously, Omri has flow for days and his entire mixtape (which is well worth downloading) is available all for download for free.

Here's the link to stream "Selah" and here's where you can download that and the rest of his mixtape, Vapors Volume II.

Today's Song - Drowning Man (ft. Copywrite) [Nomold Remix] by Cas Metah and Wonder Brown

This one's a whole new genre of Christian Hip Hop. I can guess some of Redeeming Rap's followers are going to dig this one real hard but if you don't initially give it another listen. Both Cas Metah and Wonder Brown got some bars that are worth going over and the feature of Copywrite is only a positive addition. The dubstep remix by Nomold makes this one the perfect final rep song in the weight room or wherever else you're trying to push through something.

Check some of the lines throughout:

Never been ashamed of my beliefs

too bad I can't say my beliefs never been ashamed of me...

Despite faith founded

It ain't grounded

Somehow I always end up under

Drowning in my surrounding...

Within reach just means defeat's within sight

Cuz before I get set I find need to give up the fight...

Sometimes I wonder how my life came to this

Every day praying for a few more days of this

I miss my innocence and playfulness

Playing a game of life but there ain't no games in this

Painfulness

Hope that I came from this

If I go insane from this

Shamefulness

Pray someone else gains from it

Why gotta wait till you sneeze to tell you God bless...

and to all my enemies Ima pray for y'all BET!

The song, along with other remixes of Illect Recordings are available on their soundcloud here for free stream and download.
