![]() ![]() Being from a middle class, white family that grew up in the church, I was not accustomed to this kind of music and way of life. Immediately, I told my friend to pause the song and I went to YouTube and found the now old-school, but infamous Reach Records music video of Lecrae’s “Jesus Muzik.” I watched and listened eagerly as ever before. In a muffled way, through my friend’s cheap microphone, and my old, battered speakers, I heard the lyrics “Ridin’ wit’ my top down, listenin’ to this Jesus Muzik (bass hit).” I was hooked. Up to this point, I was accustomed to music from Skillet and Steven Curtis Chapman, so the beat that came on next rocked my world. A time filled with trial and error went by before we finally made a connection. He sent me a silence-breaking message and asked if I had a microphone hooked up and said he wanted to try out the new chat feature that allowed voice calling so he could show me a song he was listening to. Nearly ten years ago, a cheap, old laptop in front of me cables running around just to connect to a power source and our spotty internet connection, I heard “Jesus Muzik” for the first time.Ī friend and I were chatting over Google Talk, and we came to the end of our conversation having run out of things to say.
