683. The Rise From Rock Island: From Mental Health Challenges to Walking with God

[00:00:00] Alright, what's up y'all? It's been a minute since we've had a Kingdom Building conversation

[00:00:03] and it is very appropriate. We do till today because the Rock Island native is in the house.

[00:00:10] They call him Baroup and 2020 gave his life to the Lord and he hasn't stopped since. We're going

[00:00:15] to talk about what he's doing, why he's doing it, what the future looks like, all those good things.

[00:00:20] Baroup, welcome to Holy Culture, brother. It's a blessing to be here, I honor.

[00:00:24] It's good to have you here man. It's good to have you here. So what's your first one?

[00:00:27] What brings you to the Philadelphia area man? Big show tomorrow.

[00:00:31] Big show tomorrow at the Heroes Festival. This is actually the first Heroes Festival. So I'm just

[00:00:37] excited to be a part of it alongside Scootywap, Nix, AC and then just some other good brothers

[00:00:42] in Christ. Nice. What's the Heroes Festival about on the Verde? So Heroes Festival is just a

[00:00:49] vision that God given one of my brothers in Christ, Micah, where he just had this desire

[00:00:55] in his heart that the DMV in this area could use a big Christian festival.

[00:01:01] Now instead of just pop up shows, it's not there but something where artists can come together

[00:01:05] and just give back to the community by using Christian rap to minister.

[00:01:11] You drove all the way from Illinois. Yeah, 13 hours.

[00:01:14] Yeah, see I've done that drive a few times from Philly. We were on PA, we did a couple.

[00:01:19] Yeah, I did it in 10, 8 to 10. I was hoping to do it in 10. I told them 10.

[00:01:24] I said we're going to do this in 10. Yeah. GPS at 13.

[00:01:27] It's a good little drive, man. That's dedication. So when did you get a...

[00:01:31] I think like 10 o'clock this morning. 10 o'clock this morning. So you've been running

[00:01:34] on fumes all day. I probably slept two hours. Okay, that's good because now I'm going to hit

[00:01:37] you with some tough questions. Good to go. That means you're going to be totally transparent.

[00:01:41] You can't even hold back if you wanted to. I can't. All right, good.

[00:01:44] Let's start here, man. One of the things I love to do is make sure people get to learn

[00:01:48] something about you that even those who are closest to you don't know. Like when you think

[00:01:53] about your super fans, people that follow you religiously for like a better terms.

[00:01:58] What's one thing that even those closest to you don't know about Peruvian?

[00:02:02] They don't know. That they don't know. That they would be shocked.

[00:02:05] They're not shocked in the bad way just that they don't know.

[00:02:10] I probably say that I actually recently feel like I overcome shyness.

[00:02:24] I feel like a lot of people just think I'm just bold and outgoing and just full of

[00:02:29] in your face energy, especially when they see my stage performer. But for a long time it took me

[00:02:36] a lot to get to the place to actually throw myself in front of the crowd.

[00:02:43] And it's like I'm in a moment doing the music, but in reality I'm in my head like

[00:02:49] trying to let me not forget the lyrics. So that's something I battle with.

[00:02:53] So you feel like you're more fully enjoying it now? Like you're just in the moment?

[00:02:56] 100%. Are you a natural introvert?

[00:03:00] I think so. You think so? You never tested it?

[00:03:02] Never tested it. Do you feel like after previously, before you had this breakthrough,

[00:03:07] after an event would you just feel like worn out?

[00:03:10] No. Not worn out. More like what I was quick. Like it's over already.

[00:03:16] Okay. So you might not, you probably not an introvert because a lot of times

[00:03:18] introverts like after something like that, they're totally worn out because

[00:03:22] you've pushed yourself out of your comfort zone to meet the moment, but then afterwards

[00:03:26] you've expended so much energy. I feel like it goes back and forth.

[00:03:30] Sometimes I'm just really talkative, really explosive. The other times I'm just really calm

[00:03:36] and reserved. What made you break out and feel more comfortable? What do you think?

[00:03:41] I think church. I think church is what did it because...

[00:03:47] Well, I say it like this because I was raised in church, but I left the church.

[00:03:52] So when I came back, I came back in a place of focusing on Christ and seeing

[00:03:58] even strangers as actually the Bible says that those that do the will of the Father,

[00:04:03] that's my mother. That's my brother. That's my sister. So seeing people like Shad,

[00:04:07] it allowed me to put my guard down and just open up and just be an open book.

[00:04:10] Just enjoy the moment. That's good. That's good. I do a thing every now and then call

[00:04:14] the lightning round. Let's get it. Okay. So I'm going to go through like 15 questions

[00:04:20] in 60 to 70 seconds, which means you just have to... You just got to go. You don't think about it.

[00:04:27] Don't think about it. No one's going to judge you, even the wife, right?

[00:04:31] Don't judge me. No judgment. Okay. You ready?

[00:04:35] Okay. Just shoot it off. Shoot it off. Like imagine there's a clock tick.

[00:04:39] It's going. Okay. Let's get it. If you want a million dollars, what would you buy?

[00:04:42] What would I buy? What a million dollars a house. Okay. One word that comes to mind when I say

[00:04:47] Danda and not Kanye. Danda, but not Kanye. Africa. Where would you go if you were invisible?

[00:04:55] If I was invisible, I would go to... Come on, bro. Oh my goodness. That's the studio.

[00:05:05] Okay. I'm going to let you go. Fill in the blank. Come on. Fill in the blank. When I

[00:05:09] dance, I look like... When I dance, I look like Donald Duck. What is your lifelong dream?

[00:05:15] My lifelong dream to create generational wealth for my children. Love that. What celebrity annoys

[00:05:24] you the most? What celebrity annoys me the most? Orlando Brown. Okay. What is the most

[00:05:32] interesting thing you have in your wallet? The most interesting thing I have in my wallet?

[00:05:36] I lost my wallet. Okay. Who's your favorite C.H.H. artist? My favorite C.H.H. artist, Brian T.

[00:05:43] Brian T. Yeah. Okay. If a movie was made about your life, what genre would it be?

[00:05:48] If a movie was made about my life, it would be a romantic comedy. Romantic comedy. Who will

[00:05:55] play you? Who will play me? Me. Come on, bro. If I had to pick somebody... Oh, man.

[00:06:02] Kev Hart. Kev Hart. Okay. What word would you add to the dictionary if you could?

[00:06:09] Splendiferous. Splendiferous. And what does that mean?

[00:06:12] I don't know. You just said... You just said the first thing that comes to my mind.

[00:06:16] Okay. I love it. I love it. What's your most... Now, think about what your kids will say.

[00:06:21] Okay. What's your most useless talent?

[00:06:23] My most useless talent. Hmm. What my kids would say. Oh, my goodness. He is absolutely

[00:06:31] useless at cooking. Cooking. Okay. The last time you cried, what pushed you there?

[00:06:36] The last time I cried, I think a movie. A movie? Okay. All right. What is your favorite movie?

[00:06:44] My favorite movie? Man, I don't want to be cliche. So... Passive of Christ.

[00:06:53] Okay. That's good. Greatest achievement. My greatest achievement, marriage.

[00:06:57] Greatest failure. My greatest failure.

[00:07:03] Oh, my goodness. My greatest failure. Dropping out of college.

[00:07:08] Choice you hate doing. A chore you hate doing.

[00:07:10] Cleaning the bathroom.

[00:07:11] If you were a superhero, what would your powers be?

[00:07:13] Oh, fly. Fly. All right. That's... A man got through the... All right.

[00:07:17] That was kind of tough.

[00:07:18] We're going to run back and see what the timing was, but you were pretty good.

[00:07:20] One of the techniques you use that I hope I catch other people going is repeating the

[00:07:24] question to give you time to think about the answer. That was really good.

[00:07:27] I don't think I even noticed that. All right. So share your testimony.

[00:07:31] You started doing CHH in 2020. Yeah. Right. What's the backstory?

[00:07:36] What made you start doing Christian hip hop?

[00:07:39] So I would say the backstory for me doing Christian hip hop would be...

[00:07:45] I went to a youth center around high school, a Christian youth center playing basketball,

[00:07:50] video games, but the director was a Christian hip hop artist and a break dancer.

[00:07:58] So he would play tons of Christian hip hop music. He had a studio in there and he would

[00:08:02] actually at the camp gather the kids together and get us to rap.

[00:08:07] Did you know it was Christian hip hop? You did rap?

[00:08:09] I did. You didn't have any aversion to it?

[00:08:12] Well, he just told us to clean, make it clean. No cussing.

[00:08:16] So it wasn't that we were doing Christian hip hop,

[00:08:19] but we were in a Christian center and that's how he was ministering it.

[00:08:24] So that was where I feel like the seed of that Christian hip hop was a thing was planted.

[00:08:31] Being that we're on a van, he's playing Christian hop consistently.

[00:08:34] I didn't really know who the guys were outside of the name LaCrae. I will hear that name, but

[00:08:42] for me it was growing up watching 106 in Park, watching just these different shows on TV,

[00:08:51] Rap City in the basement. None of this is Christian, but I grew up in church.

[00:08:56] I grew up singing in the choir and I just had this conviction where it's like

[00:09:02] I know this isn't the right thing to do, but I want to make music.

[00:09:05] But ultimately God pulled me back to it because I was out minding my business not seeking the

[00:09:11] Lord and it just came to me. I just felt like God was speaking to me and one thing that

[00:09:16] stood out was it's like I heard in my spirit be a Christian rapper. That's literally what I said

[00:09:22] because I questioned it, like God no, that's going to be lame. No one's going to want to listen to that.

[00:09:29] But since I know this is God telling me to do it, I did it and this was around,

[00:09:35] this was like when snap music was in so I remixed the Teach Me How to Duggy song and it

[00:09:40] was like, yeah Jesus love me. And I made that song and after I was excited making it,

[00:09:45] but after I heard it and put it out, I was like, I'm not going to do Christian rap.

[00:09:50] And I just ran from the call for about 10 years.

[00:09:54] So when was this around?

[00:09:56] This was like around 2011. That's when I would say I actually recorded, wrote and recorded my

[00:10:04] first Christian rap song, but I wasn't surrendered to Christ.

[00:10:08] Got it. What made you say this is going to be lame? Just curious.

[00:10:13] Because all the parties I was going to, no one was listening to Christian rap.

[00:10:16] Got it.

[00:10:16] No one, it was everything but Christian rap. Got it.

[00:10:20] And more so just embarrassment too and because I was one of the few kids in that neighborhood

[00:10:27] even going to church. None of my friends were going to church. So I just felt like

[00:10:31] if I want to be a popular rapper, I got to do what's popular.

[00:10:35] So that's kind of the root of it for me. But in 2020, like you said,

[00:10:43] that's when I surrendered my life to Christ and I began to delete and get rid of all my

[00:10:48] secular music and I was just praying and telling God like, okay, I'm done making music.

[00:10:52] And I just felt he was like, you can't give up what I gave you and I'll just do it for

[00:10:58] to give my glory. And so 2020 was like a lot of discipleship and writing the music.

[00:11:05] But 2022 I released my first song as a Christian artist.

[00:11:08] Got it. What was happening between 2011 and 2020?

[00:11:11] Between 2011 and 2020 was loaded. Like I said, I heard God calling me to become

[00:11:19] a Christian rapper but since I wasn't really going to church, I wasn't really being disciple.

[00:11:23] I just started to have all these different thoughts like, whoa, if God is real,

[00:11:28] then the devil is real. I need to get my life together. So I went to college

[00:11:34] but I ended up dropping out of college because I was still addicted to smoking. I was

[00:11:39] just chasing the world still trying to instead of focusing on my books,

[00:11:44] I was focused on trying to be the rapper or I can use college as a platform to

[00:11:48] become the rapper at this college. And that just led me back into a downward spiral

[00:11:54] being around the wrong crowds. And from there, now I feel like I'm going through spiritual warfare

[00:12:02] because at the time I'm like dealing with anxiety, depression. I'm not where I want to be at in life.

[00:12:09] If I'm hearing from God then the Bible, growing up in church, I heard scriptures.

[00:12:15] I've never studied it. So I know the devil comes to kill still and destroy. So now I'm

[00:12:20] like, okay, there's something invisible trying to kill me and I know I'm rejecting God.

[00:12:26] So now I'm just getting to this place where I got all these torment and thoughts in my mind

[00:12:31] but at the same time I'm too embarrassed to tell anybody that I even think God is real

[00:12:35] because I feel like they're going to laugh at me. They're going to say you're hearing voices.

[00:12:39] They're going to say you're crazy and some people are going to blow it off and be like,

[00:12:43] man, you're just you're high. But I know I'm scared to smoke right now because God

[00:12:48] don't want me to smoke. So in that timeframe what was going on was an internal struggle in a

[00:12:54] battle within my mind, which I believe is a form of mental illness because not only that,

[00:13:04] the upbringing in the area, being around kids, teenagers smoking, drinking, having sex,

[00:13:10] carrying weapons, doing all type of things, running from police officers,

[00:13:14] that looking back on that, I feel like that's PTSD I had. I feel like I had that. I had a

[00:13:22] police officer pull a gun on me before and he bottled things like that up. So

[00:13:29] ultimately if I could sum it up in one word, I would say just depression.

[00:13:35] Yeah.

[00:13:35] Just depression trying to battle that all by myself.

[00:13:37] How many years were you going through that?

[00:13:39] I would say from maybe 2011 to 2013.

[00:13:47] Okay.

[00:13:48] Yeah. Somewhere around that time when my grandma passed away.

[00:13:52] Sure.

[00:13:53] So that's where it all really stemmed from because when she passed away, that's what got

[00:13:59] me thinking about life and death. And my grandma went to church so maybe I need to pick up

[00:14:04] this Bible. Maybe I should carry a Bible. Maybe I should. So that's where a lot of the

[00:14:11] I guess awareness of the reality that life is real came from.

[00:14:16] Right. I got you. So your grandma's death kind of provoked you to re-evaluate,

[00:14:22] think about things and consider and open other things. Were there any key resources or people

[00:14:27] or such that really didn't walk you forward? Like what helped you break?

[00:14:31] Because you listen to a lot of things. Addiction to smoking.

[00:14:33] Yeah.

[00:14:34] Right. Anxiety, depression.

[00:14:37] Right.

[00:14:37] Yeah.

[00:14:38] And I'm always conscious of, man, let's be honest in the black community particularly,

[00:14:43] dealing with mental health is not popular. It's become more acceptable.

[00:14:47] Right. But still in terms of getting resources and things like that,

[00:14:49] I'm just curious were you able to get to resources?

[00:14:52] How did you march forward to making a change and kind of getting unshackled from those things?

[00:14:56] I say one of the biggest things for me was that neighborhood mentor that I talked about

[00:15:03] at that youth center. So even though I graduated high school and I wasn't of age to still go there,

[00:15:09] periodically I would just pop in and consciously what I was doing was just trying to show up around

[00:15:18] him to kind of get advice or hang out with like, because here I have this man of God that

[00:15:26] you know my father was in jail. So here I have not only he's a black male,

[00:15:31] he plays basketball, I like that he raps and then he's married. So he's living this life for Christ,

[00:15:36] but he's making it seem cool. But he's doing all the things that I wish I could do.

[00:15:40] Gotcha.

[00:15:40] So I just kept checking into that center and just sitting down having conversations with him,

[00:15:45] meeting up with him, just every blue moon. And that was just like a light in the darkness

[00:15:52] because I didn't really have any other role models pointing to Christ.

[00:15:57] Gotcha.

[00:15:57] For that extent of time.

[00:15:59] Gotcha.

[00:15:59] That's good.

[00:16:00] At the worst of your mental illness, how would you describe what those moments were like?

[00:16:07] A horror movie.

[00:16:08] Literally because I actually was just crazy. There was a movie called Legion,

[00:16:15] which at a point in time that was my favorite movie. I watched it a lot of time and that movie

[00:16:21] was about demonic possession and like a rapture and like angels warring. And it was just this

[00:16:33] supernatural movie that I thought was nonfiction. Like this is just, this is real.

[00:16:43] Like I'm so intrigued by it and I feel like that became my life because now

[00:16:51] it's not a movie no more. I'm hearing these voices and something's telling me to kill myself.

[00:16:55] And in this movie, something was trying to kill these people, but it wasn't like other horror

[00:17:00] films where it's like Freddy versus Jason or someone in the mask. This is actually

[00:17:05] the enemy. And since I do have faith in believing God, I do believe that there

[00:17:11] is an accuser and there is an opposing force that's trying to take you out.

[00:17:16] That's right.

[00:17:16] And yeah, it was just a lot of darkness and depression, a lot of sleep paralysis, insomnia

[00:17:23] and being checked into asylum in a sense where they would monitor me around the

[00:17:30] clock and basically force me to take medicine. And I got diagnosed with maniac depression

[00:17:37] and bipolar while being in this institution. You got other people that diagnosed with

[00:17:43] schizophrenia. You got this person diagnosed with that. So I'm in this place and I hear

[00:17:49] people talking to themselves. I see people pacing, I see people yelling at the top of their lungs.

[00:17:53] And in my mind, I'm like, I was just a popular rapper in school, chasing money,

[00:18:00] like having some type of local success in my mind. How did I get here? I know I'm not crazy,

[00:18:06] but something is provoking me to do these things up until the point why I attempted to commit suicide.

[00:18:13] Hmm. I'm sorry. So one, thanks for your transparency. Two, a lot of people don't come out of that.

[00:18:22] A lot of people don't come out of that. Just personal experience. I have a family member,

[00:18:26] a loved one who schizophrenia, bipolar, seen them going to an institution like that,

[00:18:32] go to visit and you see what's there. And I'm not sure if your family member has experienced this,

[00:18:40] the inability to impact them while they're in there too. Right? Because they can control

[00:18:45] how much interaction you have with them, if any. Yeah. Right? I feel like, and even through

[00:18:51] reading, I don't know if you've done some of the reading, but I started to become a student

[00:18:54] on schizophrenia mental disease. You start reading the books and almost every book opens with

[00:19:00] the same premise of we haven't figured this out. Yep. Right? And at the end of time, we will all

[00:19:06] be shamed, embarrassed and such because we haven't invested the money to figure it out.

[00:19:11] And basically the rest, I read a 700 page book once and basically it felt like an end of the day.

[00:19:16] We try cocktails. It's testing. Yeah. Right? It's testing. Take this. Take this.

[00:19:20] Take this. Wait five hours. Let's see how they react. Let's see what's going on with

[00:19:23] this person. Right. So the book to me was comprised of almost different versions of testing,

[00:19:28] some being fluids and pills or practices, but no, like this is the thing.

[00:19:36] How did you come out of the institution? Yeah. So in these institutions, just like a prison,

[00:19:43] just like a hospital, they got Bibles there. I don't think anyone in that state of mind,

[00:19:52] I don't think anyone's actually expecting you to pick it up and read it. Yeah. And what happened is

[00:19:58] I was hearing this voice tell me, like vividly I would hear not an audible voice, but it was a

[00:20:04] voice saying your grandmother that she passed away and you missed the rapture. If you want to

[00:20:09] come to heaven and be with your grandma, you need to kill yourself right now. That's the

[00:20:15] voice of the enemy lying to me. Right? And they ask you these questions. They ask you,

[00:20:22] do you hear voices? That's one of the main questions they ask you. They ask you questions.

[00:20:26] Do you think about harming yourself? Do you think about harming others? Right. But I'm answering,

[00:20:32] no, I don't know. I'm not telling the truth because I don't want them to think I'm crazy.

[00:20:38] I don't want to come into agreement with, man, I am crazy. Right. But the fact is,

[00:20:43] something's going on up here and I don't know what this is. I can't explain it. And it got so

[00:20:50] tormenting to the point where, like I said, I tried to commit suicide, but the thing is,

[00:20:55] it didn't work. Not only did it not work, I didn't even want to. But it's like my actions,

[00:21:03] you get someone's mind, you got the actions. But when I woke up the next day,

[00:21:08] I just had this realization of like, I'm still here. God, like I need you. Now I have nothing.

[00:21:15] Like you didn't even let me die. So my words was, Jesus, if you get me back to my right mind,

[00:21:22] then I will follow you. And you're still in the facility. Still in the facility.

[00:21:25] What do you do differently after that moment? Right? Because they're still coming to you,

[00:21:28] wanting to give you the cocktail. Want you to, how do you handle that? What do you do?

[00:21:32] I was reading this word, but I heard another voice. The thing is, now me knowing now,

[00:21:39] the Bible says my sheep shall know my voice. At that time, I wasn't surrendered. I wasn't

[00:21:45] a decipher. I wasn't proclaiming to be a Christian. So I didn't know the voice of God. So hearing

[00:21:52] these voices, I'm not knowing which was which, but this one was telling me, tell them no. Tell

[00:21:57] them no. You don't want to take the medicine. And I'm like, okay. So when the nurse came to

[00:22:03] give me the medicine and she had the pills and she had the cup of water and I looked at her.

[00:22:08] And I'm fully in my robe. I'm a patient and everything. And she came with the medicine.

[00:22:12] I looked at her. I was like, no, I don't want it. And it's like her face just turned bright red.

[00:22:19] And she looked at so angry, but then at the same time, it was like nothing she can do.

[00:22:23] Like she couldn't force it down my throat. She just took her clipboard and walked away.

[00:22:28] And in that moment, I felt like faith is being birthed. I feel like I got authority.

[00:22:35] There's an alternative. I don't have to go this route of this medicine. I can seek

[00:22:39] this Jesus that I heard about. And that's where it went from just start seeking Jesus.

[00:22:44] Like, you know what, God, if you can get me out of this, then I'm gonna follow you for

[00:22:48] the rest of my life. And I just begin to pray, I begin to sing. I would come up with gospel

[00:22:53] worship songs. Just like, Lord, I sing to you. I was singing that all the time and ultimately,

[00:23:01] he restored my mind. Man, that's just me. Just me wholeheartedly seeking him.

[00:23:06] He restored my mind and brought me back to a place of a sound mind.

[00:23:10] That's a powerful testimony, man. So now I hear a lot of your testimony,

[00:23:16] not necessarily in words and parables, but just the emphasis on trying to help others.

[00:23:21] When people listen to your music, what do you want them to experience?

[00:23:25] When people listen to my music, I want them to, first, I want them to experience deliverance.

[00:23:32] Deliverance in a way of a mindset. Like he says, let this mind be in you, that's in

[00:23:38] Christ Jesus. So I feel like God gave me a way to speak his word.

[00:23:47] The best way I can put it is in layman's terms. For this generation and just anyone that loves

[00:23:52] lyrics, anyone that loves rap music or sometimes melodic and singing, being able to take the word

[00:23:59] of God and speak the truth in a way where people can understand it. And then they receive it

[00:24:03] and they're like, you know what? He's been through this. He's been through this.

[00:24:06] Or I heard about his testimony. I've seen him going through this.

[00:24:11] They just get renewed in their mind and then they receive hope, transformation, healing, and

[00:24:19] courage. That's good. You're about to drop a new song by myself.

[00:24:26] Give us the word of the story that's all. So by myself, the hook is by myself.

[00:24:33] I thought I was doing it by myself. Ain't too proud to say I needed help.

[00:24:38] You was always there when times got hard. They forgot. You know what I'm saying? So

[00:24:43] the origin to that is that song is not only a reminder that God will never leave us nor

[00:24:49] forsake us and that's the reality that he was always there. But then at the end, I say

[00:24:55] they forgot because that's a remembrance. That's like the Bible says, God says remember me.

[00:25:02] And some people it's like, like I said, God told me to be a Christian artist. So I'm not doing this

[00:25:09] as a hobby. I'm not doing this as I hope it works out. I'm doing this as an auto obedience.

[00:25:14] Like this is the gift God gave me. He said your gifts will make room for you. And

[00:25:18] I know God is going to continue to elevate my life to minister to people through this

[00:25:22] vehicle of music. But I want to make sure I make a statement that I never forget even when

[00:25:29] I hear this song, I could never forget. I was never by myself. And when I was in the world,

[00:25:34] I got a tattoo called self made because I had the mindset of I'm doing this by myself.

[00:25:39] And when I make it, I'm gonna say shout out to God. But I didn't know him.

[00:25:43] Gotcha.

[00:25:43] But now I do. And I know I'm not by myself.

[00:25:46] That's good. That's good.

[00:25:48] What when people looked around home, right?

[00:25:53] We're trying to cook with the family eat with the family now do everything together.

[00:25:58] And then make sure that I'm pushing them or keeping an eye on if they're going off into what

[00:26:08] God's calling them to do. Yeah.

[00:26:09] So one sports, another one music, other one maybe soccer.

[00:26:14] You know, so yeah, that's good.

[00:26:15] What should people expect next from you? We know we got by myself coming next month,

[00:26:19] but what else are people be looking for from you?

[00:26:22] I would say I'm speaking it. Be expecting next just more quality music back to back.

[00:26:30] Like I would say expect consistency.

[00:26:32] Good.

[00:26:32] Expect, expect consistency, expect the body of work and expect some live shows like no matter

[00:26:38] where you at expect to see me in person.

[00:26:41] That's good. That's good.

[00:26:42] Tell people where they can follow.

[00:26:43] All right. So you can follow me on Instagram at Baruch Follows Jesus.

[00:26:47] That's B-A-R-U-C-H Follows Jesus. Same thing on YouTube.

[00:26:51] And you can find all the music on every major streaming platform just Baruch.

[00:26:55] That's what's up. Thanks for coming to the studio, bro. Good to see you live.
