Boston, MA - “As you once disobeyed God but now have received mercy through their disobedience, so they too have now disobeyed, resulting in mercy to you, so that they also may receive mercy. For God has imprisoned all in disobedience so that he may have mercy on all.” [Romans 11:30-32]

We all have had flaws that had to be overcome. There is not a man who has not fallen short when it comes to the standard that God has set. Even so, He uses our shortcomings to put his mercy on full display. Where we once were captives, He has made us free. He has exchanged our grief for Tears of Mercy.

Bir Witness has exploded onto the Christian hip-hop scene in 2024!

Beginning with the January release of the album ‘Apple of God’s Eye,’ Bir Witness declared that the new year was set to be packed with not only new music but new purpose. As the calendar turns to the second month, the Boston emcee is following in step with his second project of 2024.

Tears of Mercy hits digital streaming platforms on February 1, 2024.

The 22-track album includes guest features from Quiet Storm and Rob Redeemed along with showcasing New England’s unique approach to the hip hop genre.

The focus of this project is sharing the past experiences that Bir Witness lived through while being enveloped in gang culture. An important element, though, is that it was not a life without hope. Instead of a dead end, he found a new life thanks to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Now, Bir Witness can share that same good news with individuals who are still held captive by the lies that the streets spread.

Packed with hard-hitting beats and brutally honest lyrics, Tears of Mercy is yet another dimension to one of the year’s fastest-rising CHH artists.

For those who enjoy an immersive listening experience, this album offers a full spectrum of sonic variety. Whether you are looking for gritty bars or melodic verses, you’ll find that and everything in between. Bir Witness is putting listeners on notice with his artistic abilities and a message that resounds throughout eternity.

About Bir Witness

Introduced to the Gangster Disciples at the age of 17yrs old, Bir Witness joined the gang two years later and didn't stop participating in the organization until the age of 37 with the help of his pastors and church. He was baptized in November 2022, with strong faith he would be delivered from falsehood accepting Jesus as his Lord and Savior. The enemy attacked with an army of demonic forces and Bir Witness was participating in the GDs again throwing up gang signs in front of stores and even churches, possessed by evil he didn't stop until he completely surrendered to God’s will.

Now Bir Witness drops testimonial albums including the project Apple of God’s Eye released in January of this year. With more clarity and understanding of his past infliction, he is now walking in freedom and helping other gang members give their lives over to Christ.
