Randy Bazile This album from top to bottom has been a movie! If y'all want the true experience of #ARITMP, I HIGHLY suggest listening from top to bottom. The album was structured perfectly and the music has repeat value. This is the best album CONQUEST has released EVER! I'm calling it, AOTY! Favorite track: The Imitation Game.

September 22nd 2017, I proposed to the love of my life Two years later minus a day, I made that lover my wife Forsaking others with my sisters & my brothers that's tight Within my circle, then took off to recover our flight Towards a island paradise for 10 days Made love until the blood nearly burst in our membranes And then we came home to a conviction of cop who shot a brother In his home without an Amber alert, now I wonder What it's like to be white, shoot up a school, squeezing glocks Til the screaming stops, then you're seized by cops with being shot That be the plot, 'cause being black, it ain't that hard To go down to 20 rounds in my grandma's backyard Ain't that complex to lose your snap at being quarterback When you take a knee, you're ungrateful, please no more of that Police protest that's messing with our bottom line While tomorrow's sign of Columbine's our shot to keep some cops in line Thanks to the obsession with weapons They say's protecting the brethren, except for church where they're threatened Our kids? rocking demons like Jordans, question survival But instead of bibles, you want me to pack a rifle In public schools, I need room for God's truth to tell Instead, I'm handcuffed like black and brown future selves With more 'Superfly' fantasies than Future sells With soundtracks to which they scheme, murder and shoot for wealth It's a one way ticket to a future cell As you can you tell, clout chasing is sending all of our youth to hell Before Wakanda, no kid out here wanna be T'Challa Straight facts, they wanted to be 6ix9ine with face tats And even then, Killmonger they more related to Based on where they're from, what are kids with rage to do They ain't Joe Budden or Zach De La Rocha Machines they're against will have 'em zapped for they quotas A Masters diplomas, Bachelors ain't a bonus Strip ambitions, bow down to "Massa", not owners Now I gotta be a reseller to get this house Cause gentrification's the master plan to kick us out Like it was nothing With every blessing, there will come an interruption Can't be comfortable in life With interruptions coming like drone strikes Yeah, I find myself mentally turned inside out I'm by myself readily turned inside out And I can tell I'm physically turned inside out And I'm in hell, spiritually turned inside out I find myself mentally turned inside out I'm by myself readily turned inside out And I can tell I'm physically turned inside out And I'm in hell, spiritually turned inside out Yeah, it's why I need my "Kerux", in spite of hesitance To strike up convos, plus he's guarded like the President Protected leader of a ministry of excellence That's heaven sent, so why is trust not effortless Leadership gets side eyed, why not trust their safety Well it's crazy, last pastor I trusted? He nearly raped me Too much right? But imagine this bully, a threat You wake up to him standing over you fully erect Now at that point, you're way beyond fully upset More like: Lemme blow his face off and pull for his death Give into "R.A.G.E." like the song I wrote about it And yet my life in Christ is so astounding I pray for the victims of Zacharias with the memories than hound them That Jesus covers them in his counseling That's sounds 'Crazy'? I know, but I ain't Cee-Lo Green I'm trying to lift you out the Dungeon, Family, see those dreams Come and get this soul food cooked by Elohim Cause when those interruptions come, then the ego leaves Like it's nothing With every blessing, there will come an interruption Can't get comfortable with life With interruptions coming like drone strikes Yeah, and I find myself mentally turned inside out I'm by myself readily turned inside out And I can tell I'm physically turned inside out And I'm in hell, spiritually turned inside out I find myself mentally turned inside out I'm by myself readily turned inside out And I can tell I'm physically turned inside out And I'm in hell, spiritually turned inside out Physically turned inside out Spiritually turned inside out Mentally turned inside out Readily turned inside out

Don't let them call you a racist If you got your black fist up in the air making a statement, to the point you're seen as dangerous Beyoncé had the 'Panthers' in 'Formation' Emphatic in presentation, dramatic within it's weigh in on tactics of segregation And Morgan & Lauhren's statements of blatant Disrespect that she's anti-cop lack intellect and I got More for you to disregard when I'm defining pro-black With cold facts for melanin snapshots that's Kodak Black Imagery's literally high definition I challenge you, think critically despite your suspicions I interrupt your thinking that relied on tradition That left Sandra Bland hung out to dry while imprisoned Traumatized like war torn vets Don't know what's deadlier, the 'Rona or that knee that's crushing George Floyd's neck And yet I'm the threat, raw in a Metallica tee Skater jeans and anything else that ain't blacker than me So in the middle of a pandemic, it's that hectic When cops enforce social distancing with crass methods Protesters get slapped to the pavement, then get mashed out White folk outside congregating? their masks get passed out And I ain't got a problem with white folk Unless my presence keeps you off balance 'cause racism's your tightrope And I hope you use your privilege that's that significant To make a point more than pyramids for black innocence Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white King in my black skin, doesn't mean I'm anti-Christ Black pride's a raging fire, they rather see candle lights Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white Yeah, you gotta deal with it I don't hate your blue eyes, I'm being real with it. Listen up Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white Dear white people, I'm that change in Samantha White Anti-white? You must be insane That Logic's kinda Shady when there's Leah James I'm a fan of Ashley Graham, plus size with curves Like I love Jill Scott, that's my word, my heroes were Straight Outta Compton and straight up pop I studied Nasir Jones and Aesop Rock I loved two non black girls who ate up 'Pac And my daughter's best friend will have you straight up shocked You should've known a Caucasian would've been her road dawg Her first crush at five had blue eyes and a mohawk So when I say I'm pro-black, I'm not attacking lack of melanin I'm urging youth that's black to pull up pants and act like gentlemen Not 'cause of Cosby's reprimand But because you're often seen as the threat at hand and not the better man Who never go a lot further, they're Bob Schmurdered By a justice system going light on a Brock Turner So I don't trust a racist cop further Than I can throw him, knowing they choke us out and leave us on the block murdered This 'Real America'? Please stand up Does my life matter or you rather see this rapper handcuffed Cause a lot of us are studious college kids With 'Stacey's that don't 'Dash' to "Clueless" politics And now's here's a myth, plus a point that's factual White men can't jump and black men can't storm the Capitol Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white King in my black skin, doesn't mean I'm anti-Christ Black pride's a raging fire, they rather see candle lights Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white Yeah, you gotta deal with it I don't hate your blue eyes, I'm being real with it. Listen up Just because I'm pro-black, doesn't mean I'm anti-white Dear white people, I'm that change in Samantha White And for the record, I got love for white people and Black people, Brown people Asian American, Latino people As long as they know my life matters, and they're down to change the standard And I got love for white people and Black people, Brown people Native American, Indigenous people Cause we're all saved by the blood, but don't label me as a thug For the record, I got love for white people and Black people, Brown people Asian American, Latino people As long as they know my life matters, and they're down to change the standard And I got love for white people and Black people, Brown people Native American, Indigenous people Cause we're all saved by the blood, but don't label me as a thug

I'm out to raise freedom writers With speeches vibrant with science, seen as survivors of violence Elohim dialed in defying those demons rioting with tyrants Yeah, my passion's underrated, I'm David fighting Goliath I triumph against all odds with God's favor, bride of his highness My guidance & yes, my comfort rate to contemplate & concentrate On criticizing reasons why Eric Garner would suffocate Fighting racial tensions 'causing Ferguson scenarios That turn their back on justice like the cops did DeBlasio On behalf of those trans genders treated like gang members And that measured with faith I have treasured I paint "legendary pictures" with a genius in tune To use "the voice" with more "spice" than a scene out of Dune Directed by Denis Villeneuve, 'cause we rarely see the proof Of justice for the black boy some cop didn't mean to shoot Out of fear that they're weapon strapped, the pot calling the kettle black While "running with the devil" like that classic heavy metal track That's a higher learning more than Eshon & Uncle Reece Propaganda felt like Braille via this Humble Beast Christian hip-hop metaphors so the saints run with me While focusing on up and comers like the Summer league With lyrics challenging my walk in life In accepting Christ who died for me despite my flesh that said that I oughta die If you knew my past you would be mortified That's why Christ is not only my Savior but my Lord on High That's why we need the gospel where the demons lie In "Criminal Minds" you couldn't profile in a CSI Or "Red" could never ever put on his "Blacklist", I'm vanquished In God's image, I vanish. I'm his catfish Freedom when I write, yeah To break the chains of all the demons in your life, yeah So that you recognize the reason for the Christ, yeah And his relationship that you need to survive He's the reason you're alive Fight for freedom when I write, yeah To break the chains of all the demons in your life, yeah So that you recognize the reason for the Christ, yeah And his relationship that you need to survive He's the reason I'm in public schools being a light, giving kids freedom to write About those demons that lie within in them, their eaten alive And mistreated, it's why my after school season's a vibe It's more than reason to rhyme, its pre-teens believing their bi Having their feelings denied before there's a reasoning why These feelings speak to their lives, guarded believing in Christ While I'm dealing with life. Overcoming a marriage That's on the rocks, while my people's being shot 'cause their freedom's denied With that 14 word manifestos for the youth to market That if you're black, you're the target in a supermarket By the minds that's been renewed by the white supremacist Instead of Romans 12:2 as Christ intended, they deny the premise And call our kind the menace, use black on black crime as trite defenses When that's personal beef, I pray against that and your thoughts of murdering me Out of fear of being replaced, perversion is deep 'Cause this land you never owned, you gained this world to lose your soul Your love for country's evil un-refutable you know the 'drill', they'll blame music for all black and brown murder So I rap to crowds turned up with that cap and gown fervor When I write, yeah To break the chains of all the demons in your life, yeah So that you recognize the reason for the Christ, yeah And his relationship that you need to survive He's the reason you're alive I fight for freedom when I write, yeah To break the chains of all the demons in your life, yeah So that you recognize the reason for the Christ, yeah And his relationship that you need to survive He's the reason you're alive

I'm catching King James' scrutiny with that Skip Bayless fluency For cadence spit fluidly, This is Kane next to Schoolly D Composing with no truancy from disdain and mutiny At policing making black folk a bit famous brutally As rappers, they expected me with thick chains of jewelry Instead they got a servant with a kick game that's lunacy With news that Christ's resurrection's the greatest eulogy Foreshadow genius like Jordan with his game at UNC Independently wealthy, dropping gems that's healthy All I need is a Killer Mike to Run The Jewels on El-P's Among the lonely people, I taught gifts I established To kids with passion while mellon-collie with infinite sadness Like that Billy Corgan classic describing injustice we face You shoot a Jacob Blake and catch no charges in police states This country's ripe for outreach, this mouthpiece Ain't worried some saints ain't Cavalier I took my talents to that South Beach I got at least 81 points to prove My mamba mentality that's been anointed to Sacrifice for excellence with every joint I do Yeah, Kobe was my Muse too, with no clue His helicopter crash would change the whole year And all these dirty coppers blast who we hold dear Through all of this we got a mask to control fear Still I'm trusting God who got our backs or we're nowhere Yeah When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike to be the one & only For God's glory then I'm gone, gone, gone When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike to be the one & only For God's glory then I'm gone, gone, gone Bred to be the raging bull, I aim to hit you I might do it with my tongue out, MJ edition With my words so you should be all ears, I stayed official From 'The Jump', I bring 'The Truth' like Paul Pierce, ask Rachel Nichols Sharper than 'Claws' starring Karreuche or Kawhi's before And know that I'm a T-Rex if you view me a dinosaur With rhymes galore, among the Supremes like I'm Diana Ross Or Conway 'cause this Machine is spittin' with all types of raw Content, faith based like a convent Until I'm ash that you put on your face upon lent Renegade for certain, all NBA with the verbiage That'll drop the hammer on you like LBJ did to Nurkic You're Swae-Lee, I'm more AZ Over your head like Clippers, you're Pat Bev' trying to guard KD I'm 'A Written Testimony' that ain't Tana Talk 3 It's John 8 verse 36 to have the captives walk Free I come straight as a crucifix so the masses thoughts be On many waves of truth with this, so they parrot on key With that Kobe work ethic, I am ferocious Nah, my work ethic is "Black Panther" post-cancer diagnosis With limited time to change your spirit & mind Towards Christ who died and rose in the physical kind To save you from the hurt in your soul So you can be with the King with 5 rings rocking purple & gold When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike to be the one & only For God's glory then I'm gone, gone, gone When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike to be the one & only For God's glory then I'm gone, gone, gone When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike to be the one & only For God's glory then I'm gone, gone, gone When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike to be the one & only For God's glory then I'm gone, gone, gone

To his job, he positioned himself Like Kobe eager to shoot his shot, and place his name in the hall of fame But like the fate of Achilles, he soon taste How bitter promotion is traded for humiliation Disillusioned. the security that once brought him comfort Is now the security monitoring his exit, rejected In facing an uncertain future How will he fare, now that his determination has been tested through termination His determination is being tested through termination His determination has been tested So I walked into my job, first day of the week, November 4th Four years dedicated, yet one hour later, unemployed Walking out with former supervisors, just in case I turned psychotic I'm saying: Jay you got this, No I ain't got this My world turned upside down, round & round it turned me Don't know what I'll tell my wife for why I'm back at Ten-thirty Even though I knew it was a matter of time before I was let go I was still like hell no, all my plans got death blows I just got hitched, I'm thinking ain't this a: whoa Jason don't lose yourself, it's Shady in this Twilight Zone That I'm caught up in, talk about an interruption Gave my life to after schools, their artistic productions The staff that was sometimes suspect, the parents that were cussing Me out for no reason, but pleasing when they needed something Got that leadership status & nearly caught concussions In that office when I collapsed, it would've been all for nothing I missed church services, bible study with everything that was ridin' on me An idol for me, I'm convinced that God took that title from me I was getting my feet wet, wasn't a year in deep yet But being the one in charge, spiritually I was a complete mess Couldn't make a mistake, though sometimes I was to blame Wasn't worth the financial gain, I hated who I became Desperate times called for desperate measures just to keep that treasure But it had to go, 'cause there was no way I would see that ever First time in a while, I got no clue what to do And it's complicated I got options, and all of these potential moves That I'm contemplating But if God's purpose isn't this, I'm screwed And it's complicated A Bronx Tale became my hell up in Harlem I had to lose That I'm contemplating Yeah So now I'm working this warehouse, I'm scraping tape of the floor Being used for social distancing, only to tape down some more I'm grabbing heavier boxes than ones that came down before Can't wait to lay down, I'm sore, but it's 'bout to weigh down my snores Cause I'm having nightmares of waking up nights with no purpose Cause I'm right here, breaking up fights with co-workers And it's quite clear, I'm hating my life, it's slow murder Like a knife tear, breaking windpipes, my throat's bursting With more blood than Jesus shed, aggressive all my demons get I should leave this job, yet I ain't found a reason yet Yes! I'm stowing packages in orange vests, not at all upset Cause my last job had me sorta tense with a morbid stress Over performance yet I'm tortured, guess I missed all of those warning threats Now I question teaching jobs I oughta get Like, do I wanna work with kids? Last time was rocky I can see 'em forming mob scenes asking me: yo, what does WAP mean? Don't know Megan, you got me. Yeah, the truth will cost my paycheck Meanwhile co-worker I fired is bringing false allegations against Jason ironic 'cause she's the one I was fighting for What?

It might be pending, my emotions loading See when you left, my face became an ocean Full of the fears, while my tears dropped past my clothing Your time is over, that mean mine approaching I celebrate you, I'm forever toasting, but what's an athlete without the coaching I bear your fruit, you was always sowing I love you bro, and I'm knowing that you know it I can't believe I gotta give you up, say goodbye and I can't conceive that we're out of time Still trying to find myself some closure Though I'm so glad your pain is over I'm still in pain 'cause you're gone Lost, confused. Such a solid dude Played by God's rules, your soul did not lose Fools, thinking we had time, hitting the snooze You needed us the most, we out paying our dues Played it cool, like you always do The love you showed us?

They want me to run with Ahmaud, facing a shotgun But my God said that I'm Maverick, 'cause I'm the Top Gun That's why I stand strong on his promises, I'm God's son, not done Never let 'em tell you that you're not You've been designed with a purpose, God given purpose Solidified with a purpose, God driven purpose You live and die with his purpose, God given purpose Won't be denied, yeah, never let 'em tell you that you're not Listen They tried to kill me like Joseph, they got me looking like Samson Tried to distract me from focus towards a purpose I championed They tried to strip me of my dream coat, call my all goals obscene quotes Like dreaming big's too much ego 'cause I'm pro-Black & too negro Elohim's my hero, keeps Delilahs out my kinky hair Lyricism on gritty snares, reflecting all the city's glares Of darkness I fight against through righteousness In a world where the world leader's where the tyrant is, threatening nuclear violence And plus this pandemic's raising levels of anxiety And depression when I question if Presidents will fight for me But I serve his excellence who died for me, not privately Down to settle the score in this Fugees like rhyming team, not minor league Like black and brown society shot in their sleep violently Even Cardi B. ain't seen this invasion of privacy So I Dig In The Crates Like Diamond D To Breakdown a Vision Of Love Mariah sees. They want me to run with Ahmaud, facing a shotgun But my God said that I'm Maverick, 'cause I'm the Top Gun That's why I stand strong on his promises, I'm God's son, not done Never let 'em tell you that you're not You've been designed with a purpose, God given purpose Solidified with a purpose, God driven purpose You live and die with his purpose, God given purpose Won't be denied, yeah, never let 'em tell you that you're not Matter of fact I rarely cower with a composition that is scary hours for the competition Cause I clearly tower over opposition Only right 'cause I'm here to buzz the tower, wasn't coward Got live at Mach 5, I got mine empowered With a vow to 'Take your breath away' right into the danger zone Now tune in to escapades I write where I'm insane with poems Triumphant in this lane alone, child of the King, bump your Game Of Thrones I'll burn 'em to the ground with flows that's flaming coals Swore I was underrated though, wore it on my sleeve The more I didn't get the praise from folks, the more that I believed That I was being slept on, when knowing of my self worth should've been Teflon When God created me as upper echelon A Gojira fanatic and the Maverick with a gifted verse Rhyming like I'm flying upside down & then I flipped the bird But I rather flip the word To interrupt those Down with a Sickness of a life that's been Disturbed They want me to run with Ahmaud, facing a shotgun But my God said that I'm Maverick, 'cause I'm the Top Gun That's why I stand strong on his promises, I'm God's son, not done Never let 'em tell you that you're not You've been designed with a purpose, God given purpose Solidified with a purpose, God driven purpose You live and die with his purpose, God given purpose Won't be denied with a passion, I'm more Kirk Hammett than Kirk Franklin Though I'm God's property for his revolution And his wisdom flows like Socrates throughout my execution On the level of firing squads or heads being chopped off I'm great, inspired by God, Know the Ledge like I got off More bars than Rakim Allah with an edge, not a knock off Follow the Leader's lyrics of fury that's sure to profit like I'm Popoff I'm KD post Achilles with no drop off With what I shot off, the full picture that ain't cropped off That struggle with focus through tribulations atrocious Where faith within went unnoticed, I mailed it in more than postage My marriage almost near broken to Top Rank dying of Covid To losing Rod and my job reaching kids violent & hopeless I was Maverick losing Goose when straight attack was my motive Before our plane crashed and then I came back more explosive To lead God's people like Moses towards the Christ who was chosen No imitation, died for us as sacrifice so we'd know him

Straight conquer I'm a monster, that's the mentality of the mamba Quest to be the best is what I'm on You win some, never lose but learn the lessons to live your life on Pressures of the world gon' come, know how to carry 'em I've been grown since seventeen at Lower Merion Man amongst boys, Had to put the world on ESPN, at my high school games before Lebron It's never been a drill, recognize the real Anybody can get it. I went to war with Shaquille The A.I.'s, the T-Mac's, the Ray Allen's Never backed down, I embraced every challenge After twenty years, see I could chill, sit and be honored Became an author and came back and won an Oscar Pushing past your limits, that's what life's all about And what legends are made of. Yo, Mamba out Listen You're Byron Russell talking all that jazz, until my forward slash To take the last shot and now you got to walk it back And I pushed you out the way, you caught it bad Now you Bad Boys refuse to shake hands, you walking off the court that mad Thought you had the sauce, so you oughta brag But if you're a B. J. Armstrong, there's a respect that you oughta have I got you on the run like Nordic Track With a word more valuable than Off White Jordan 2's with my autograph When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man In the Arena I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike to be the one and only For God's glory then I'm gone, gone, gone When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the Arena, I'm a be Lebron At small forward From Princeton Redeemed The King seated on the throne and it ain't vacant But needed to leave his home like a vacation Ton of patience, humble greatness, Son of David But some are faithless, so we still considered underrated Man, you can kill all this GOAT talk The king walked on water, this is boat talk When we sloppy with the rock, he exhorts wisdom He could see I needed a lawyer, call that court vision We going to always rise above all this doubt speech Victorious in this Heat, like its South Beach Wade in the water, baptism, I am fresh In the beginning was the word, he is living out this text Who you know could be esteemed as the chosen one And live up to all of the pressure as the golden one Resurrected from the grave in the grip of the man Then to send it back home to bring a chip to the land I'm Enough with those Heavy Hitters, ready scriptures So you recognize the Black Jesus, ask Reggie Miller Before the '98 ECF, I see no threats For God, I shoot from anywhere like circus three's from Steph Former Fanatic's/Phanatik's of the "Cross Movement", they try To have more "Questions" of the faith than Reeboks made for A.I So I take it personal like Guru and Premier When I target the harvest like Shaka Zulu with a spear Yeah When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike to be the one and only For God's glory, then I'm gone, gone, gone When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron At point guard From Manhattan College ATTAM Harlem nights on MLK since the nineties Got the press on, I'm forgetting what 's behind me Euro Step into my calling, we move timely But rewriting history never reflects kindly Preaching the truth is where you'll find me Godhead means one equated to three A "hesi"? the "go to", as it related to me Gotta replace the "S" with a symbol, no one greater than he, uhhh New York in the blood, heaven the residence Often believe lies, even when fed evidence To the contrary, ignoring the bred's relevance As youngings, our heroes? MLK's and dead presidents I'm all things "Redeemed" with the letter We're all kings, "Rich" in Christ, who needs cheddar The Conquest of Jordan, Kobe and Lebron's best All with a dream like Martin and Queen Coretta I'm a shoot my shot when it comes around 'Cause I know my God, he would never let me down Use my 24, like I'm 23 While I'm wearing "No. 6" in that Miami Heat I bring the cross over like my name's Kyrie Though I'm playing no games, I'm unashamed, I'm free He loves me in spite of my bad decisions No, I ain't fouling out, know that I'm driven, yep, know that I'm driven When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike, be the one and only For God's glory, then I'm gone, gone, gone When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike to be the one and only For God's glory, then I'm gone, gone, gone At the 5 From SUNY New Paltz Brianna Knight This has been A Radical Interruption The Motion Picture Thank you for watching

about

"A Radical Interruption: The Motion Picture" is the seventh independent studio album from lyricist/hip-hop artist & songwriter CONQUEST. An artist who is very much a Christian multi-hyphenate. "A Radical Interruption..." is a concept album in its purest sense. An album where CONQUEST breaks down the last 8 years of life with stunning detail, 8 years that were filled with life-changing interruptions at almost every turn. "Interruption" may be also CONQUEST'S most socially conscious album that he's done to date, with the traumatic events of injustice of 2020 that were embedded on at least half of the album, from specific lyrical couplets to the main theme of certain songs. CONQUEST'S 7th album has him solo on 7 songs and hosting 13 guest appearances on five others, and not only his top tier lyricism utilized on maximum levels on this record, so is his elite songwriting and vocal arrangements/production for himself and other guest vocalists on this project. "A Radical Interruption: The Motion Picture" may go down at his best and most matured work to date, and for an album that tells a story from start to finish about facing life's most brutal and challenging Interruptions, and become more purposeful in Christ because of it, it needed to be a masterful body of work. Experience it now.
