LOS ANGELES, Calif. (May 17, 2012) -Billboard chart-topping hip hop artist Trip Lee is gearing up for the release of his debut book, The Good Life. A continuation to his latest album which released on April 10, 2012 through Reach Records, The Good Life will hit stores nationwide on October 1, 2012 through Moody Publishers.

"For years, I've been doing music that challenges our world views and points to Christ - but there have always been limitations to music, because there's only so much you can communicate in a song," says Trip. "The album gave listeners snapshots of The Good Life, and the book will be more like a manual on how to live it. I'm praying that this book will help the reader to turn away from lies and live the way we were created to live."

By using personal testimonials of his own life, Trip explores the lies that have been told, and paints a new, biblical picture of The Good Life. Exploring all of life including happiness, success, and morality in light of God's truth The Good Life redefines the term as not living to please yourself but living by faith in a good God.

"The Good Life is not climbing to the top of the corporate ladder, The Good Life is not a life free from any responsibility," says Trip. "The Good Life is living in sync with God and embracing all that He has to offer us in Christ."

No newcomer to the Christian music scene, Trip's debut album, If They Only Knew, hit stores nationwide a few days after his high school graduation. That same year, he was also featured on the Dove Award-nominated, timeless classic "Jesus Muzik" with label mate Lecrae. Trip's sophomore album, 20/20, was released in 2008 and garnered much success: breaking into the Billboard Top 200, reaching #11 on the Billboard Christian albums chart and landing at #4 on the Gospel chart. With his third studio album, Between Two Worlds, Trip offered a collection of reflections on life in a fallen world. Those reflections resonated with listeners as B2W debuted at #1 on the Christian and Gospel Billboard charts, #5 on the Hip Hop/Rap iTunes chart and #9 on the Top Albums iTunes chart. The album also received two Dove nominations and a Stellar Award for Best Gospel Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year.

Trip's latest album release, The Good Life debuted at #2 both on the overall and Hip Hop iTunes charts while garnering the #3 position on Billboard's Hip Hop chart, landing at #17 on the Top 200 Billboard chart and taking the #1 slot on the Christian and Gospel Billboard chart.

Trip has traveled the world performing for thousands of listeners. In conjunction with The Good Life, Trip is currently on a promotional nationwide tour and will be a featured artist at various 2012 festivals including Spirit West Coast, Atlanta Fest and Rock The Lakes, among others.
