My man Zenk and I are almost done with our first project as Emmaus entitled, "The Doxology". Our aim is to use Hip Hop to paint a portrait of Jesus Christ. We hope that the picture painted will reveal our desire for Christ to be glorified through every aspect of our lives.
Many of the songs are speaking directly to God, giving the listener an intimate look at the conversation between the Creator and his creation. We hope that the end result will be to encourage the listener to see that the gospel affects everything in our lives. It's not enough that we "give God our Sundays" but then keep the rest of the week for ourselves. When we are in Christ, EVERYTHING changes. We are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). How can we have the Spirit of Christ within us and yet be the same? Everything, from our thoughts to the way we raise our children, is now a reflection of the power and Lordship of Jesus.
Needless to say, this is not a casual listening type of album (at least not all the time). We encourage you to actively listen to the lyrics and content of the songs. There are plenty of scripture references that need to be examined. Don't just take our word for it and assume that we're right about the things we say; confirm it. If there ends up being something said that you don't understand or that you disagree with then contact us so we can work it out. We'll be posting all the lyrics to the album soon so that you can follow along as you listen.
Other than that, we'll keep you updated. Peace!
In His Love,
Matt J
