Radical Departure is the 2012 studio album from emcee/lyricist/songwriter CONQUEST. An album that signals the start of new musical & ministry chapter for the artist born Jason Andre Roberts. The album finds CONQUEST preparing to ‘depart’ from the things that has plagued his walk with God & his musical vision in the past. In this re-invention he addresses everything from idolatry, the ill effects of pop culture, racism, abuse, love & heartbreak & everything else in between, while stressing the need for radical evangelism for himself & others. Radical Departure is a musical & artistic leap as well, where east-coast boom-bap meets metalcore, where ‘trap music’ has an alternative feel & 80’s pop music is sampled with a classic hip-hop drum breaks for a common purpose. There are no guest appearances on Radical Departure, for a re-introduction this personal, it’s only right.
