Preaching to the Choir is dedicated to strong people who acknowledge our weaknesses and know that we need reminders. Reminders of truth, accountability, our divine nature, and our true Source of life, light, and power.
Musically, this is not your typical project. Executive Produced by ALäZ upon the recommendation of A&R, writer, and co-producer, Karim Muhammad, and engineered by co-producer, writer, and artist, Sabir Muhammad, each track serves as a canvas for the listener's mind to travel to new worlds of possibility with an effortless blend of the classic sounds of gospel and jazz with modern elements of hip hop and r&b. This is beyond an album, it's an experience.
For an introduction, the sound of a lone trumpet playing the theme from "Wade in the Water" begins a prologue orchestrated like the beginning of a timeless film, but in truth it begins a transformational era of music and lifestyle. With spiritual tones and ancestral voices, the music builds to the ultimate climax to set the stage for an unforgettable journey of commitment, challenge, remembrance, and resolution.
This sonic experience features some of the most powerful artists of our time with production by ALäZ, DJ Flint, Bvtman, and SoufPro and features musical contributions from violinist Windy Indie, vocalist and educator Isaac Gibson, and emcee, singer, and songwriter SlimPikins. The voices featured span the country from as far east as New York, to as far west as Compton. Whether it be the smooth delivery of The Clutch Factory Founder, Sabir, the vocal accents of award winning artist, DKOMX, or the melodic stylings of critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Ashley Dubose, each feature is truly a gift.
The features continue with lifelong collaborator, SoufPro, Emcee Skool founder, Phenom, and a special guest appearance by legendary artist, producer, musician, and singer, Dexter Redding, the son of the King of Soul, Otis Redding.
The only way to close such a powerful body of work is with a call to action with an excerpt from the nationwide Saviours' Tour featuring the undeniable voice and warrior spirit of Bro. Alton. Lastly, the final song serves as an anthem of unity to take charge of our lives and make our communities decent and safe places to live featuring the west coast powerhouse DariMod, and the southside duo, NäZ and Swämi of Trïbe with an epic tag team verse to anchor the project.
This is a work of art that you can be inspired, educated, and activated by. In our journey of life, we all need reminders. Let this be yours.
