Speaker 1
Ooh. And you know, because it's like I don't want to discourage the young kid. I mean, I consume so much Christian music and some of it I like more than others. But I see married and all of it. Right. So I don't want to discourage anyone who can't do illmatic level. Right. Right. Right. But then at the same time, it's like if we are to be compelling, if we are to present a compelling argument in case for Christ, like how much emphasis and that goes back to your, I guess first question when you were opening up is like, how much emphasis do we put on this? How much is the presentation, the substance, the, you know, I know for me, it was both the, it was the quality and the substance that also spoke to me. Yeah. I know part of my testimony is I came to faith, obviously through hearing the word, but the Lord used KB's first album, you know, along with church clothes one as well, right? To like, to like speak to me in a way that not only that I understood, but it just felt real to me. Yeah. A lot of times I listen, and this is no shade to anybody, but I listen to a lot of some of the newer Christian music, especially like the Christian hip-hop. And I just don't, I don't, if my soul is not a sturd, you know, and part of that maybe because a lot of these, you know, we're dealing with a generation now of Christian artists too. A lot of these guys are actually, they grew up under all of this stuff. They grew up in church. They didn't grow up outside of the church. You know what I'm saying? So they're, they, they only have limited capacity to talk about certain things, right? That would appeal to me. I was like, you know, you guys were talking about stuff that hit right here. You know what I mean? Like, I know what these mean. I've been there, I've been in these type of neighborhoods, I've been in these type of situations. I've been struggling with these types of things. Right. You know, so it was very compelling for me. The vulnerability of it, the realness, the authenticity, the, the substance, the soul is what I say a lot of times it's missing. So I know for me, anything that I'm a part of, and I know that, you know, KB shares this exact same sentiment, it's like, like, we're not going to just make Christian music for the sake of just making Christian music. Right. So you guys have, I wish there was more content for you guys to see KB in the studio. Like, nah, we got to get rid of the change this. We write this, that ain't going to work, bro. It don't have like, like, you would much rather like, it has to be done in excellence, has to sound good, but you would much rather have the, the, the power be in the, I want you to feel this, right? You know what I'm saying? The phrasing, like it has to be that it needs to speak to people, right? Even if we have to kind of throw out some of our, you know, our rules for songwriting, right? Like, let that not get in the way of God speaking through this song, you know what I'm saying? So I know for me, that's important. I want to have that be a part of it as well. Because that's my testimony. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm just trying to recreate what happened to me for others, you know? Yeah.
