Pueblo, Colorado artist, Christopher Rodriguez is a husband, father of five, and someone who’s clearly been through it. Rodriguez has carved out his lane by turning poetry into hip hop, creating something that feels less like a performance and more like sitting down with someone who’s got stories worth hearing.
“In the blur of red and doubt, declaring becomes the only way forward.”
“Declare It Schiz MentalMusic” is Rodriguez putting his money where his mouth is or rather, putting his faith where his flow is. The track draws heavily from the Book of Job, which, if you’re not familiar, is basically the Bible’s most intense “why do bad things happen” conversation. Rodriguez is talking about blood, judgment, and mortality while asking the kind of questions that keep people up at night.
Rodriguez is challenging listeners to reconsider what they think they know about power, purpose, and their place in it all. So, if you’re into hip hop that actually has something to say beyond the surface, Rodriguez is worth your time. “Declare It Schiz MentalMusic” proves that faith-based music doesn’t have to be safe or sanitized to be authentic.
