As you scan the pages of Scripture from cover to cover, an unmistakable picture of the gospel emerges.
From Genesis to Revelation, we see the brokenness of the visible world under sin’s curse.
Yet Scripture also weaves a tapestry of redemption throughout the Old Testament and into the New Testament.
The thin red line of the gospel unifies the entire Bible.
A Thread of Redemption
Propaganda’s new album, Crimson Cord, reveals a thin red line of its own.
From the first track to the last, the hope of the gospel runs through every song.
Featured artists such as Lecrae, Braille, Andy Mineo, JGivens and Derek Minor lend their voices to that story of hope.
At times, the album’s proclamation of Christ is unmistakable.
“Stretch Marks” reminds listeners that God can redeem our pain and frustration for His glory and our good.
Meanwhile, hope drips from “I Ain’t Gave Up on You Yet.” On the track, Propaganda paints a picture of restoration for broken relationships, a broken nation and even hip-hop itself.
Propaganda has also earned acclaim for his spoken-word work, including “G.O.S.P.E.L.” The video has received nearly 1.2 million views.
It offers a strong example of the detailed language, theological clarity and commanding delivery listeners expect from him.
A True Wordsmith at Work
On Crimson Cord, however, Propaganda also reminds us of his considerable talent as an emcee.
He constructs each track with the care of a true wordsmith.
This latest release from Humble Beast could not come from a more appropriately named label.
Hip-hop often features grandiose artists who fixate on unrealistic lifestyles.
By contrast, Propaganda uses Crimson Cord to speak honestly about his heart, his upbringing and his hope in Christ.
Crimson Cord will be released April 29.
