TheReal D.Tel - Surrender (CHH)

TheReal D.Tel - Surrender
TheReal D.Tel has released a Christian Hip Hop (CHH) an album called Kingdom Music. The highlighted song from this album is called 'Surrender'. 

Story behind the album 'Kingdom Music':

TRD shares: "When I was 12, I started writing music about things that I thought were cool and heard in songs at the time like: women, drugs, sex, violence, partying non-stop and being a good person gets you nowhere. That kind of music influenced my future decisions on what kind of songs I would start recording, which continued until I realized it.  I also thought it was cool to do the things I said in my music like:
Violence - the more violent the better (in songs)
Womanizing - the more woman you have sex with the better
Drugs and Alcohol - The higher and more drunk you are the better
Partying - Neglect all responsibilities if partying comes first

As I started making better decisions in life through God, my music was still the same and then I had a revelation.  I heard a random Christian song and it was so powerful and positive and full of joy and truth, I cried because it touched me.  I knew, even though I was saved and prayed all the time, something didn't feel right...That's when I started to question myself about the musical direction I was going in:

Would your music inspire or motivate the world?
Does your music help people who listen to it?
Does it make you feel good when you listen to your music?
If someone close died would your music help you cope?
Does your music give hope?

Unfortunately, all the answers to those questions were no...but I kept praying. One day I woke up and knew it was time for a change because beforehand, the decision to jump from all secular music to all Christian music was difficult until now because it was clear...it was peaceful.  I rewrote every song that was about to release and from that moment on, instead of making the music I thought I wanted to make, I vowed to only make Kingdom Music."

I am releasing 'Kingdom Music' to show that no matter what you're going through or what you have been through, it is never too late to turn your life around with Christ and get on what you've been called to do.

The message that I hope listeners take away is to be bold with your believing and endeavors because anything is possible with God."

The highlighted song is called 'Surrender'. 'Surrender' is intended as a reminder that God knows best for you, trust in Him to guide you through.


Lyrics:

let's go

every day every night (every day every night)

"Boxes" by John Long: Breaking Free from Religious Boxes

(by Jasper Tan) John Long’s “Boxes,” written with Dustin Smith, is both a reflection and criticism of how we oftentimes allow ourselves to be limited (“boxed”) with our faith. Using the “box” as the core metaphor of the song, it represents our self-imposed (or community-imposed) limitations with religious traditions that prevents genuine a genuine relationship with God. John emphasizes that these limitations often run into conflict with the original intentions of God, to have a free flowing holy communion with God. The song is characterized by our sense of longing and our desire to re-approach our Faith with clean hands and a pure heart. From the opening lines itself, we are challenged to evaluate the current status of our faith and come to realize that it may never really what we intend it to be. Our intention from the start was born from a desire to start a deep and Holy Communion with God, and as the bridge and chorus approaches, the song has a more personal and prayerful tone. We a...

"The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL: At the Cross, Where Mercy Meets the Weary Heart

Rooted in the story of Jesus giving Himself at Calvary for everyone, "The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL turns this familiar message into a very personal invitation. Just stop carrying what is crushing you ( "Lay it down, let it go" ), surrender it to Christ, and let Him hold you. These lyrics are not only about the cross at Calvary. It's also about your cross, your fear, your shame, and your need for His peace. "Darkness fell, I was breaking fast," and we may count on the forgiving arms of a merciful Savior who is always there, even when our lives feel cold and heavy. "At the cross // You gave it all, you felt the cold // and love took hold // and made me whole." It's at the cross where "mercy bled and grace was born" for you, personally. It's where His grace clears your way home. What does that mean for us today? It means that we do not need to walk or carry our burdens alone. We may place everything that weighs u...

"He's My Rock" by Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ: Finding Shelter in the Storm

(by Jasper Tan) “He’s My Rock” by Jamar Esaw & Triad4Christ featuring Koriann Lewis-Freeman is a powerful contemporary Gospel track that delivers a blend of traditional worship and modern soul. It reminds me of some of the songs by the band DC Talk, which was the definitive sound of modern Christian Contemporary Music when it exploded in the music scene back in the 90’s. This contemporary Gospel track brings forth an energetic sound that updates the way we sing our praise and worship sessions in our Churches. The song brings in a raw modern energy that breaks tradition while also encouraging worship sessions to be more in tune with the times, which brings a lot of youthful energy. The song is powered by Jamar Esaw’s smooth, commanding vocals and Koriann Lewis-Freeman’s additional vocal range. Bringing in an electric chemistry rooted in the authenticity of emotions as they sang the lyrics of the song. This is clearly felt during the song’s build-up to its climactic moments. With a r...
