Essential Sound has released four unique singles this summer that combine the musical components of worship and hip-hop music, creating the collaboration called "The Sound."
The first four songs selected for "The Sound" are: "Spirit of the Living God (Canon Mix)," "Great Are You Lord (Howland Mix)," "Faithfulness (Howland Mix)" and "Only King Forever (Joaquin Bynum Mix)." Artists featured on these songs include Elevation Worship, Vertical Worship, Matt Maher, one sonic society, Derek Minor, Canon, J.Monty, Joey Vantes, D-Will, Angie Rose and Chris Howland.
As hip-hop has exploded and taken over pop culture, the same is true for hip-hop and worship within the Christian church. "The Sound" is what emerged when taking these two musical components and building collaborations to reimagine some of the largest worship songs, as well as a few other up-and-coming songs.
