Chance went all the way there but Kodak Black led me back to gospel. The’ve been shying away from the Christian tag and their message have become increasingly subtle. Paak and them) and “How Great.” Sadly, Lecrae, Andy Mineo and Derek Minor - artists commonly labeled Christian rappers - wouldn’t be able to pull those songs off.
