We recently sat down to do an interview with Prodigal Son about his new single “Pray 4 Me” featuring OSP and DaTruth.
Can you tell me a little bit about the background of your new single “PRAY4ME”?
“Sure. OSP and DA T.R.U.T.H and I got together and wrote this song in about two days. I mentioned the idea of praying for everyone and me in light of all the recent events around the world. There’s been shootings on unarmed people and we just need to be praying. Both guys were immediately on board. In verse one I talk about how it doesn’t feel safe out there and in verse two OSP talks about things he’s seen. Finally, in verse three DA T.R.U.T.H. tells everybody to hold on strong through what’s happening. “
What do you want your listeners and fans to take away from the song when they hear it?
“I want them to know that there is a way for bad things to be fixed…it’s by Jesus. Christ has everything under control.”
What is your goal with this particular song?
“I want as many people as possible to hear this. I want everyone to know that we all feel pain, we all have problems and we are just like everyone else. But we have faith through those tough situations and we rely on Christ to get us through with hope for the future.”
Can you tell me more about your background coming into this record?
“This is my first record coming out of a three-year hiatus. I went through a really hopeless chapter of my life. I lost my mom, grandma, and father all within a short period of time. I felt I couldn’t encourage since I was so discouraged. On top of feeling like I couldn’t move on, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. It’s fitting that “PRAY4ME” is coming out in October, since it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. But, we made it. My faith is rooted in the Bible and I am 12 years healed of cancer by prayer. I went through a rough time growing up, in and out of jail, then losing family members, and being taken down by cancer but God is Good all the time and faith in Christ Jesus restores and renews!”
What is significant about what you write in the Christian Hip Hop genre?
“Some people think Christian Hip Hop is too hardcore or unorthodox but what we’re doing needs to be said and needs to be talked about. My lyrics and themes aren’t sugarcoated at all; they’re the truth about what we go through and that we ALL do go through hard things. It’s important to share that so others can find hope in prayer and faith. I wasn’t always at a place where I would listen to where God was calling me to go, but He was faithful to pursue me. We need to pray for each other and ourselves and grow together in community!”
Press Release: HOLY-wood Records C.E.O. and TYSCOT LOUD recording artist Prodigal Son, returns with a Hot single entitled, “Pray 4 Me” which features Mixed Bag C.E.O/Artist DA T.R.U.T.H and International gospel recording artist O.S.P. who is the C.E.O. of Rick Harvey Music Group International. Following a year that saw one album release from Prodigal Son and a smash hit single release GRACE, 2015 has been pretty LOUD for the rapper, signing a new deal and appearing on the Tyscot LOUD Platinum Mixtape, performing at the Stellar Awards showcases, to touring all over the United States with his HomeComing Tour. Prodigal Son stopped in his home town of Canton, Ohio to receive the prestigious Mayors Letter of Proclamation, where he had met International recording artist O.S.P. “There was an instant click, I had heard of O.S.P previously but never had formally met him, but one day in passing through the city GOD allowed our paths to cross and the rest was history, I signed O.S.P on the spot and we began working immediately,” says Prodigal Son.
O.S.P. has a heart for the streets of all cities, states and the countries he ministers and performs in regularly, but a special hunger goes out for his home town which is also Canton, Ohio. “I see and hear about, young people being killed by senseless gunfire every day. I told Prodigal Son let’s pray for our city, and Pray 4 Me. Prodigal Son then said “That’s the song the world needs to hear. The times we are facing now, we all need prayer no matter what level we consider ourselves to be in life”.
“Prodigal Son reached out to Mixed bag C.E.O DA T.R.U.T.H. to join us on the record, after learning the concept of the record DA TRUTH immediately accepted,” says O.S.P.
“I like the energy behind the record, the hook is amazing I think the whole world needs to hear this song, it’s built for them,” says DA T.R.U.T.H
November 8th, 2015 the 3 will join together on one stage at Faith Family Church in N. Canton OH for the single release concert and video shoot for the single Pray 4 Me. See www.HOLYwoodRecords.com for more information. HOLY-wood Records has announced that the single Pray4Me will be available on all Major retail Digital Outlets and on Friday October 23rd 2015.
