Overtime Dillon began to use his gifts as a way to create a platform to proclaim the gospel. In early 2007,Dillons life of servitude was seen and acknowledged through fellow Christians Lecrae and Sho Baraka, thus inviting him to be a part of the 116 Clique project 13 Letters. Currently Dillon continues to produce holy lyrics with a style and flare all his own, emphasizing being a walking testimony off the stage as well as on the stage, of Gods glory and redemptive power.
In September of 2008 Dillon signed with Kingdom City Records and released two projects with them; The Pursuit and Pause. Coupling his passion as a minister/street evangelist with Stand Out Ministries, Dillon grew exponentially as an artist, husband and father. Featured on such albums as the 13 Letters Compilation produced by Reach Records and Sho Barakas debut album Turn My Life Up, Dillon has nationwide exposure and nationwide acclaim. Although he receives accolades and applause for his music; he fights to remain humble, resting in the shadow of Jesus Christ perfect work on the cross. Initially releasing The Pursuit regionally to much acclaim Dillon Chase was later able to reach a national audience with the national re-release of the project. With his dirty south bangers, smooth contemporary cuts, and amazing lyricism, it proves to be a thought evoking, passion building collection of songs. The video for the single Walk Worthy featuring Tedashii reached thousands with a message to please God in private and public life.
Dillon Chase is currently touring with Stand Out Ministries in various cities along with ministering in his local body, and prisons in the state of Oklahoma.

Dillon Chase Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't take them out
The world will perish
They are like salt
They are light
Keep them there with all its mess and all its confusion
Keep them there
But don't let them be of the world
They wanted me to get in that frame
Four corners all the same
If I never let go of that mold than it's all in vain
Second grade a reckless slave everyday swept away and hoping people's love would never change.
Tried please everyone but God
Yeah I put up gods
But inside I was dying finding out life is hard I remember I cried until my nose was raw My mom was strung out on that alcohol
She won't recall
When they told me that's her body outside the hospital
My life was out of control, whatever I got into
I know my dad got high, had me looking low
This hurt had me in the dirt and this garden wouldn't grow.
They say, I would do the same but ...
In Dillon Chase's song "BDFFRNT," he speaks about the importance of Christians being present and active in the world, even amidst its chaos and confusion. Jesus and his followers are like salt and light, meant to stay in the world and preserve it, but not conform to its ways. Dillon discusses his personal struggles with trying to fit into a mold and please others, but realizing that the only way to truly live is by surrendering to God and letting go of societal expectations. He references difficult experiences with a mother struggling with alcohol addiction and a father involved in drugs, leading to a feeling of being lost and hopeless. Despite these challenges, Dillon finds hope and meaning in his faith and encourages others to not be afraid to stand out and be different in a world that often seeks conformity.
Overall, this song is a powerful message about the struggle to navigate life as a Christian in a world that can be overwhelming and disorienting. It reminds listeners of the importance of remaining in the world to be a positive influence and to celebrate the unique ways in which each person is called to be different and set apart.

As a child, I felt trapped and unable to break free, constantly seeking validation from others
Tried please everyone but God
I attempted to gain approval and acceptance from others, rather than focusing on my relationship with God
Yeah I put up gods
I idolized other people and their opinions
But inside I was dying finding out life is hard I remember I cried until my nose was raw
Internally, I was struggling and experiencing sadness, and was unable to cope with life's difficulties
My mom was strung out on that alcohol
My mother suffered from addiction to alcohol
She won't recall
My mother was unaware of the impact of her addiction on me and others
When they told me that's her body outside the hospital
I learned that my mother had passed away due to her addiction
My life was out of control, whatever I got into
Following my mother's death, my life became chaotic and unstable
I know my dad got high, had me looking low
My father also struggled with addiction, and I was forced to deal with the consequences
This hurt had me in the dirt and this garden wouldn't grow.
As a result of these challenges, my life felt stagnant and unproductive
They say, I would do the same but ...
Others may have experienced similar struggles, but I am unable to follow in their footsteps

Tears me up on the inside, hearing those lyrics that say "my story isn't fair, cause it's full of grace" of all the people I've felt justified to say that in regards to having hardship, he says it in the opposite way, just proves there's so much to Christ.
