![]() ![]() ![]() Jackie Hill-Perry: The concept is based on the book “Desiring God.” It’s pretty much this idea of, I’m playing with two worlds: What does it look like when God is our joy, when God is our satisfaction and what does it look like when he’s not? Often times in the Bible, we see people looking for the things God has in himself in other things.įor example, you see Eve, she looks at the tree, and she says “It’s good to be wise,” as if God is not the epitome of wisdom himself. Here is an excerpt of Hill-Perry’s interview.ĭavid Daniels: What is the concept of your album? 6 on iTunes’ top-selling hip-hop/rap chart last week, even with Humble Beast offering it for free on its official website. Perhaps most the notable Piper-influenced efforts are Lecrae’s 2008 hit “ Don’t Waste Your Life” and Reach Records’ tour by the same name that followed, which is the title of a book Piper released in 2003. Snippets of his sermons can be found on numerous Christian hip-hop songs - Tedashii’s “Make War,” Shai Linne’s “All Consuming Fire” and Json’s “Who Is He?” for example. The Art of Joy isn’t the first project that Piper has influenced. She told Rapzilla that Piper’s book “Desiring God,” which the Baptist preacher published in 1986 and named the ministry he founded in 1994, inspired the contents of her project. Jackie Hill-Perry released her label debut album, The Art of Joy, on Nov. John Piper’s influence on Christian hip hop continues. ![]()
