PreacherMan: “The Chronicles Vol 2” – a mission to change the culture

No stranger to music and the recording industry, PreacherMan is an artist born and raised in Memphis, TN. His latest release is the 9 song project entitled “The Chronicles Vol 2”.  Spiritually anointed lyrics with hard hitting southern beats is sure to grasp and minister to any music fan who likes the sound of modern rap but wants to hear purposeful and meaningful lyrics that will draw them closer to Christ. His sound is so unique and it really stands out. His lyrics and his rap flow is so dope. Also PreacherMan is one of the few artist to not water down his lyrics which seems to be a trend in Christian hip hop but he encourages you by the gospel without being preachy. His words are extremely relatable to the secular world. His verses are not random and his metaphors are on point.

When I think back over the past year, I feel CHH is in a transitional period where not many artists are making albums like this anymore. As CHH tries to find a happy medium between representing God and infiltrating the modern urban industry, albums like “The Chronicles Vol 2” are going to be hard to come by.

Kicking off with the title track,  “The Chronicles, Pt.2” listeners will find out right off of the bat that PreacherMan is in this to spread the message of faith. He sets the energy level for this album with this track that makes you literally want to break the building with the beat.

If anything, the following track, “Apply The Pressure” is even more intense. This is a track that will definitely get you moving, but at the same time PreacherMan gets your attention to listen to what he is saying.

“Christian Rapper”, is a song that touches issues PreacherMan goes through, as he faces trials and tribulations in his life, and reminds us that the Lord will come and pick him up in times of trouble. The bass line is mesmerizing in “Highly Favored”, as the Memphis rapper shows off his skills and keeps Christ centered in it.

There are only so many ways you can rap the Gospel and bring anything new to the message without sounding like every other Gospel rapper, but PreacherMan is able to throw scriptural guidelines into secular discourse with clever lines. He is impeccably captivating on the ravenous and scrupulous “I Am” and “Lift Him Up”.

“My Inspiration” is classic PreacherMan, a ferocious delivery and even more heartfelt. It really tells the story of how the Lord can be the answer to our problems. “The Goal” featuring Chris Keith drops in almost as a breather from the relentless bars dropped by PreacherMan, as supplies moments of sweeter melody.

“Worth It” brings the truth with passion, and a percussive dominated beat. Here PreacherMan sounds like rap veteran with a mission to change the culture.

Some music artists are easy to forget. Sometimes it’s that their songs are not memorable. Their production is forgettable or they don’t sound unique in their own right, whenever you hear their voices. That is not the case with PreacherMan, who has a rapturous and resonant voice, and an all-round powerful demeanor, backed up by trunk rattling beats.
