alex faith and dre murray album free download Alex Faith. Music is literally in Alex Faith’s blood. The Atlanta rapper and producer’s grandfather Marion actually earned a spot in the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame, while Alex’s parents encouraged him to pick up music at an early age. Word quickly spread about his talents behind the board, and he ended up recording and mixing for Grammy award winning artists before the age of 18. His tastes continued to evolve concurrently. He started off listening to the likes of James Taylor and Amos Lee, eventually immersing himself in iconic Atlanta hip-hop including T.I., OutKast, Ludacris, and Jeezy. However, as he started creating his own music, he pursued a sound that would incorporate all of the elements that spoke to him. “It’s about using my voice to show the seriousness in what I’m saying. I’m never lying to anybody. This is who I am on tape. It’s honest, and it comes from a completely authentic place.” That authenticity defines everything that he does. Growing up in a tumultuous home, which saw his parents’ divorce and eventually remarry years down the road, he was no stranger to the darker side of life and Atlanta. In 2013, Faith was part of a group in which their album debuted at #81 on the Billboard top 200, which was quickly followed up by his first solo album ATLast, which charted at #16 on Billboard’s Rap charts. Afterward, in 2015, he released Southern Lights, with then label-mate Dre Murray, which charted at #22 on the Billboard Rap charts. His Most recent EP, Intruder, has accumulated several million streams across Apple Music and Spotify. After being signed to a record label for the first 5 years of his career, Alex is now fully independent. Living in Houston for many years, Faith began working with Killem Collective – an independent artists collective including painters, dancers, DJs, producers and other artists. Starting Skylane Creative as a channel to release music, Faith has also worked to put together an impressive roster of new rappers and singers. Currently residing in Clayton County, Georgia, where he was raised - Alex is seeking to open his own training facility after undergoing major physical and mental transformations. Alex Faith working on Debut Album. Atlanta, Georgia-born emcee now living in Dallas, TX and WLAK aka We Live As Kings (Swoope, Christon Gray, Alex Faith, & Dre Murray) member is currently working on his debut retail album. The southern bred lyricist dropped a mixtape titled ‘Honest 2 God’ in August of 2012 and it was well-received, that project featured noteworthy artists like Dre Murray, Derek Minor, Social Club (Martymar & F.E.R.N.), Christon Gray, Swoope, Natalie Lauren (fka Suzy Rock), and Sho Baraka. ‘Honest 2 God’ featured production by Wit, Street Symphony, and D-Flow, among others. For some, the first time they heard Faith was on Billboard charting rapper Sho Baraka’s ‘Barakology’ mixtape four years ago. He has continued to grow in his artistry since that guest appearance. Alex is looking to follow-up all his past work with his debut album from Collision Records. Based on social networks you may hear contributions by Swoope, Wes Pendleton, HotHandz, Cardec Drums, Swade Beatz, Wit, Tragic Hero, and more on the forthcoming collection of tracks. Pictures on Facebook reveal that he was recently in South Philly putting in musical work with Grammy award-winning producer Wit (‘Gravity’ by Lecrae). Alex Faith has been grinding on the Christian Hip Hop scene for quite a while. He served as Lecrae’s tour assistant for over a year and was Sho Baraka’s engineer at one point, contributing in some way to many records by various respected artists. As a part of the WLAK collective Alex Faith charted #1 on iTunes Hip/Rap, #3 iTunes overall, charted on Billboard and his crew was highlighted in Billboard magazine. He is signed to Collision Records, an imprint that has dropped records like ‘Gold Rush: Maybe One Day’ by Dre Murray, WLAK’s self-titled album, ‘Wake Up’ by Swoope, and ‘Body Art’ by Christon Gray. Hopefully Alex Faith’s upcoming record will be another solid project in a discography of quality Collision music. Not only has the lyricist gained a significant amount of buzz in the last year or so, he has helped increase dialogue on the topic of racism with his single “Promised Land”. Steve Patton of Rapzilla had a conversation with Sho Baraka, Alex Faith, and Adam A.T. Thomason (CEO of Collision Records) on Race, Faith and Hip Hop back in February.

Alex Faith and Dre Murray’s musical brotherhood on ‘Southern Lights: Overexposed’ Rappers Alex Faith and Dre Murray released their first collaborative album, Southern Lights: Overexposed, last month and the pair of emcees shared what it’s been like working as a duo after establishing themselves as two of the most dynamic individual rappers in the faith-based hip-hop movement. For Alex, he saw a kindred spirit in Dre that made him realize they were a perfect musical fit. “We are a part of a collective called We Live As Kings and there were four of us and we put out an album at the beginning of 2013 and we went on the road together,” Alex recalls. “None of us had ever known each other, but Dre and I [were] more alike and I feel like me and him connected immediately more than I did with other brothers on the label. It was a natural chemistry that started on the basis of enjoying the same things and we sort of regionally come from the same place. We were raised sort of similarly. Not identical, but there’s enough similarity there where we get certain humor and we get certain styles of hip-hop. We can joke and understand each other better than some of the cats we were around.” Faith grew up in Atlanta, Dre in Houston; and the pair’s Southern roots inform virtually everything about their artistic approach. For Dre, growing up in the shadow of the DIY rap legacy of Rap-A-Lot records and UGK meant that he understood how to push himself to grind for whatever he wanted. “Houston definitely influenced me in the ‘put your head down and get it done’ mentality,” explains Dre. “There wasn’t a lot of waiting around for anybody to do something for you on the music scene in Houston. There were dudes who were as successful monetarily as the dudes signed to the major labels. But they just had regional hits — they were hometown heroes. So you aspired to be that. It’s hurt me a little, because it’s something that I’ve tried to learn to balance. I try not to be prideful and have that ‘I don’t need your help’ mentality; but I’m not waiting on anybody to do something for me. Not just music, but anything that I’m focused on. I got that a lot from the mentality in Houston. You feel that — just the independent grind and getting up and building something from scratch and taking pride in the fact that you’re accomplishing these things without help from an outside entity that could get you there a lot faster.
