Byhalia, MS - “Then you will succeed if you carefully follow the statutes and ordinances the Lord commanded Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or discouraged.” [1 Chronicles 22:13]
It’s not about success, but the moments we’re making.
The first release in 2026 from Christian rap veteran Illustrate serves as a rallying cry for those who use their talents for Christ’s kingdom.
That Sound hits digital streaming platforms on January 9, 2026.
Produced by Elan Brio, Illustrate uses the record to recognize his fellow brothers and sisters and shine a light on the effort it takes to be a creative in today’s world. What does success look like? It is about the opportunity to share the Gospel whenever and however often a soul is ready to receive it.
That Sound is forged in classic boom bap and is driven by an electric guitar sample that is echoed by synthetic horns to infuse energy into the record.
