The rapper and producer of Christian
hip hop known as J. Walker has released his latest LP album, “I'm a
Christian.” The album is composed of 16 original tracks for a total
listening time of one full hour. In addition to the considerable
talents of J. Walker himself, the record also features the talents of
Freeda, God's Mic, Martha Noelle, and the Lion's Den, a music label
and collective of Christian musicians of which J. Walker is both
founder and an active part. Expertly produced, earnestly performed
and true to the heart and message of the Christian Bible, “I'm a
Christian” is one of the most outspoken and courageous records to
emerge from the gospel music genre in some time.
J. Walker (often stylized as J.Walker
with no space) cites as main artistic influences such legends of the
microphone as Tupac Shakur, Lecrae, Jahaziel, J. Cole, Andy Mineo,
and Drake. His style of rapping shares many of the best attributes of
these while adding a healthy portion of his own character,
particularly in the way of lyrical content, something in which Walker
has a motivating interest.
Speaking of the message and meaning of
his new LP, Walker writes, “The album title is a response to the
questions, 'Who are you?' and 'How do you identify yourself and find
an identity?' My response is, 'I'm A Christian.'”
There's more to this statement than may
appear at first. With his music, Walker intends not only to proclaim
his faith but also to examine the Christian lifestyle and help define
what it is to take up the mantle of Christ.
“The album challenges the view of who
Christians are and what a Christian is,” Walker explains. “I
share my imperfect nature and flaws with listeners as well as typical
elements of the christian walk and struggle that other Christians
will recognize and identify with.”
J. Walker's record reaches out to
believers and seeks to soothe them. Like the Lion's Den from which he
comes, “I'm a Christian” brings sympathy and support to the
children of God all over the world, and it does so through powerfully
direct lines and rhymes set against a booming back beat.
“I'm a Christian” by J. Walker is
available online worldwide.
