An Exclusive Interview with KB

We were thrilled to have an exclusive interview with KB, a highly respected figure in the Christian hip-hop scene. We covered a range of topics, from his new music and book to his thoughts on marriage, mental health, and the state of Christian hip-hop.

KB’s Unique Sound and Diversity in Music

When asked about the inspiration behind his unique sound, KB explained that it’s a result of collaboration with his team and the diverse community around him. He emphasized the importance of surrounding oneself with good company, which strengthens morals, ethics, and passion. Living in diversity, being part of an Afro-Latino family, and a multiethnic, multinational, and multigenerational community, KB is committed to being an influence for Jesus Christ in the fight community. He draws inspiration from various genres of music, including salsa, worship, CCM, gospel, and trap.

Approaching People Who May Not Understand Diversity

KB shared his approach to people who may not understand or live in diversity. He approaches them with patience and sympathy, acknowledging that there may still be blind spots in his own life.

The State of Christian Hip-Hop

Dice expressed concern about up-and-coming Christian rappers and their theology. KB agreed that it should be a concern because their music makes claims about who Jesus is and what he can do. He emphasized the importance of supporting artists who are genuine in their faith and not promoting false theology.

KB’s Debut Book: “Dangerous Jesus”

Our conversation also touched on KB’s debut book, “Dangerous Jesus: Why the Only Thing More Risky Than Getting Jesus Right Is Getting Jesus Wrong.” The book explores the positive and negative aspects of the word “dangerous” when it comes to Jesus.

Collaborations and Influences

KB discussed his collaboration with fellow artist Lecrae and their strong bond as brothers in Christ. He also talked about his song “Glory to Glory” and the influence of gospel music on his upbringing.

KB’s Thoughts on Boxing

KB shared his thoughts on the recent fight between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford, expressing his belief that Crawford is the best fighter of their generation. He praised Crawford’s skills as a southpaw and orthodox boxer and compared him to Marvin Hagler, a legendary boxer.

KB’s new album, “His Glory Alone 2,” was released on August 11th. Have you listened yet? What are your thoughts on the album? We’d love to hear from you.
