With the success of singles, Giving it up, and the worship infused, All You Are featuring Hillsong United, Rhema Soul was propelled to a new level, earning awards (Just Plain Folks Music Awards winners for Best Hip Hop album), nominations (The music video for Steez was nominated for Best Video by The Gospel Music Channel), and rave reviews on the web and in print.
Fingerprints, Rhema Soul's genre-defying album released in March of 2010, took them all over the world and positioned the group for success and mass influence. Break out singles like Boombox and the iron sharpens iron-esque Blow Your Whistle resonated with fans from all walks of life, while the heart wrenchingly transparent Fly Away single and video intensified the group's buzz, ensuring their place on today's music scene.
Now, together with 2:20 Entertainment Group/Black Fuel Music (Group One Crew, Hyland, Ryan Stevenson, Charmaine), Rhema Soul is set to make an impact like never before, touring extensively and maintaining a consistent presence on the conference circuit with speakers such as Carl Lentz, Chris Hill, Rich Wilkerson Jr., and Chris Durso.
Be sure to catch Rhema Soul at Rock the Universe (Universal Studios, Orlando) with Switchfoot, David Crowder Band, and Family Force Five.
Rhema Soul is currently in the studio with Dove Award winning producer Andy Anderson (Group One Crew, Toby Mac, Rachael Lampa) recording their biggest album yet, due out later this year through Black Fuel Music/Universal.
Boom Box
Rhema Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jam it in your boom box, your boy is like tupac
But i'm ah live forever through christ not music
We do rock a few spots but warning
You will get your doo rocked while we are performing
So take caution
You're absorbing enormous, exhausting
Frequently exalting deep received, jesus peace, without the charm and necklace
I'm reckless, and i'm in a certain state of mind
So with a head as big as mine thoughts are like texas
And it's as if we do it for the "hoo rah"
Even though the crowd "oooh oooooh's" like doo wop
Nah, because at the beginning and the end it remains
We did it, we do it, have done it, to tell of his name
Plain...
Like wings and leers and jets,
Bringing the noise up in your ear your brain begets...that's me
Juanlove verse:
Crank the boom box till the tune rocks like gems
And we moonwalk on a thriller night because i'm in
And i'm able like clark gable to win
Get the mic from out the tool box and the record spins
Don't ever let the boom stop, let the needle play
It's like a mother hen watching over two flocks
Frito lay bakes the chips juanlove cooks the verbals
The audio dispersals, they chase cheese like a hundred urkels
A reversal is where it's at. see the word of god sent me so i'm on the map
I'm on the blocks like rats, in the books like stats
Banging beats with raps sharper than spiked bats
In the year of the fog this rhema soul thing reigns
Some vintage nike's and a new king james
Ingenuity and relevance the common aim
Its due time for the gospel to take precedence so let it bang
Butta p verse:
Turn up the volume pump it up a little louder
The bass is thumpin and rippin; we ain't even pluggin power
Let me devour all the haters and cowards
Who say my faith is lame and i believe in something sour
I walk in his power, we're in the final hour
So for me to make believe the seeds i sow won't flower
Will be like jack baur dying in the line of fire
And how i can i retire when christ hasn't expired
So let's blow the whistle, may his name be lifted higher
Turn me up a little bit, grown folks to little kids
Who are we kidding when this music really needs to hit
Home when we're bringing it, yeah i see you listening
But don't stop the music when i know you're really felling it
You're chilling with the coolest kids, showing how we really live
A boom box banger i'm in the mood for something ignorant
Don't front like you ain't interested
Just come with us and kick it, kid
In the song "Boom Box" by Rhema Soul, the three artists (K-nuff, Juanlove, and Butta P) address their faith while showcasing their musical talents. K-nuff raps that he lives forever through Christ and not music, even though he can rock a few spots where audiences get their "doo rocked" while they perform. He cautions listeners to be aware of the enormous, exhausting frequencies and to look past the charms and necklaces of this world. K-nuff also admits to being reckless and in a certain state of mind, with thoughts as big as Texas. Even though the crowd may "oooh oooooh" like doo wop, Rhema Soul knows that they do what they do to tell of His name, bringing noise into the ears of all those who listen.
Juanlove's verse is about the power of music and its ability to move people. He describes how he cranks the boom box till the tune rocks like gems and how Rhema Soul moonwalks on a thriller night because Juanlove is in. He also talks about how he's able to win like Clark Gable and that they don't ever let the boom stop, let the needle play. Juanlove explains that Rhema Soul chased cheese like a hundred Urkels, but then he says that they're on a different mission. They're on the blocks like rats and in the books like stats, banging beats with raps sharper than spiked bats. In the year of the fog, Rhema Soul reigns, with vintage Nike's and a new King James. He emphasizes that ingenuity and relevance are their common aim, and it's due time for the gospel to take precedence.
Butta P's verse talks about turning up the volume and pumping it up a little louder. The bass is thumping and ripping, even without plugging power, and Butta P is ready to devour all the haters and cowards who say his faith is lame and he believes in something sour. He knows that he walks in God's power, and it's the final hour. For him to make believe the seeds he sow won't flower will be like Jack Bauer dying in the line of fire. He can't retire when Christ hasn't expired. Butta P wants to blow the whistle for His name to be lifted higher, as Rhema Soul turns up a little bit for grown folks to little kids. They're in the mood for something ignorant, and Butta P knows the audience is interested. As Rhema Soul kicks it, they're showing how they really live as cool kids.
