iNTELLECT and Mitch Darrell Seek and Find the Forgiveness We All Wish For

“Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” [1 Corinthians 1:7-9]

What is it that you need? We are told not only to ask but to keep on asking and we will receive that which we ask for. Doors that are closed will open because our God is a good father. Even in our worst moments, He stands ready to forgive when we look to repent. He was prepared to endure even death on a cross if it meant that reconciliation could take place. How can we not tell Him that I’m Sorry?

“The way this song came together is a testimony of God’s faithfulness.”

On August 18, 2023, iNTELLECT and Mitch Darrell collaborate with Christian Rap legend Dre Murray to release one of the duo’s most important records to date.

“From the depth of the message in everyone’s lyrics to having a legend like Dre Murray hop on the track, this is definitely one of the more special songs I have been a part of creating.” – iNTELLECT

I’m Sorry is nothing short of straightforward hip-hop in the genre’s most traditional sense.

No hook is needed as the three masters apply their craft overtop of production from Dax Hamma. The sound bites chosen in place of a chorus tie together the song’s theme as each emcee uniquely approaches its message. Not only do the vocal stylings of iNTELLECT, Mitch Darrell, and Dre Murray support one another throughout the track, but they include just enough contrast to take I’m Sorry from being “just another song” to a true piece of art.

Every Christ follower endures seasons of struggling to balance a promised peace and ownership of the role we played in Jesus’ sacrifice. The good news is that the atonement of our sins has already taken place. We are able to move forward with confidence and truth.

I’m Sorry is a must-add to inspirational playlists. Make sure to save it now!

Dex the Nerd Who Loves Jesus Draws Inspiration from The Beatitudes for New Single

“One day as he saw the crowds gathering, Jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down. His disciples gathered around him, and he began to teach them.” [Matthew 5:1-2]

During his time on earth, Jesus had a unique way of drawing people to him. The people were eager to hear his words. As he traveled, the crowd that followed him continued to grow larger. The masses were ready for the message that He would share with them. Those same words are needed by society today. Here’s the amazing thing, those who call themselves sons and daughters are able to spread that same Gospel and are called to do so.

“When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, for he taught with real authority – quite unlike their teachers of religious law.”

Releasing on August 11, 2023, Dex the Nerd Who Loves Jesus shares the truth that Christ taught during the Sermon on the Mount.

From “The Beatitudes” to “The Golden Rule,” the greatest sermon ever preached was able to simply and effectively speak into all areas of the lives of those who have heard it. Dex takes this inspiration and rhymes confidently over production by Praise.

Utilizing scripture-driven samples, Dex paints the picture of being in the presence of Jesus on the mountainside. Sermon on the Mount is a straightforward, focused record that fulfills its intended purpose. To give hope and understanding to a world that is lost.

JusJames features two legends, and two tracks, on his latest single

“I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” [Philippians 3:12-14]

Time seems to be moving faster than ever.

When the world operates at a break-neck pace, it can be easy to get lost in the movement. From grind culture to “keeping up with the Joneses”, the pressure to be seen as successful has never been more intense. It can seem nearly impossible to not be swept up and thrown to the side.

On his newest release, JusJames is encouraging listeners to avoid being tossed by the Whirlwind.

A double-single release, Whirlwind is the second single off of JusJames’ upcoming album entitled ‘3936’.

The return of the 3-verse song!

California emcee and Polished Arrow Music artist JusJames delivers an iconic record featuring two legends in the Christian rap genre.

Mission (Sacramento, CA) and former Cross Movements Records artist R-Swift (Philadelphia, PA) join JusJames on the Chris Pickett-produced record. In addition to the OG’s, DJ Navin Johnson also brings his turntable expertise to the song to elevate it to instant classic status with his amazing record scratches.

Whirlwind is everything that true hip-hop heads love about the genre.

Whether you are looking for high-level lyricism, seeking out perfectly selected samples, waking up the neighborhood with hard-hitting kicks, or simply riding to golden-era west coast synths, you’ll find it all with Whirlwind. Add in a simple, yet memorable, hook, and you have the elements that come together to create a song that stands the test of time.

At the heart of this hip-hop masterclass is the message of Jesus Christ. These incredible artists keep the “main thing” the main thing! Their eyes are on the Lord in the midst of chaos and distractions looking to detour them from the calling on their lives.

Whirlwind releases to digital streaming platforms on July 28, 2023.

Included in the release are both the original and the Chopped & Screwed versions of the record. The Chopped & Screwed iteration was done by USB The Jeweler which serves as a perfect compliment and a nod to an era that is often overlooked in today’s musical landscape. Not only is it a bonus for listeners, but it showcases how a piece of art can be displayed in a variety of ways to connect with a larger audience.

Add Whirlwind to your Top Rap, Get Hype, and Classic Hip Hop playlists.

iNTELLECT Drops New Remix Featuring Procyse and Dex the Nerd Who Loves Jesus

“But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?” [Romans 10:14]

As Paul spoke to the church at Corinth, he plainly explained the driving force in his life. He told the people that everything he did was done with the intent of sharing the Good News. Not only did he want people to hear the Gospel of Christ, but he wanted those individuals to be able to share in its blessings.

This desire should remain the purpose of today’s believers.

“Circling back to ‘GO!’ with a remix, I really wanted to emphasize the call of us all to fulfill the Great Commission.” – iNTELLECT

Ohio faith-based artist iNTELLECT is continuing the path set by Paul as he helped grow the New Testament church.

With the release of GO! Remix, iNTELLECT is using his gifts and blessings to connect with rap fans and display a higher purpose for this life. With production by Brokenfinga, GO! Remix is a chest-pounding, boom-bap record driven by an intoxicating synth sample. iNTELLECT is as consistent as they come when delivering his message with golden-era expertise.

Polished Arrow Music artists Procyse and Dex the Nerd Who Loves Jesus add their own passion to the remix as each emcee displays high-level lyrical ability with their respective bars.

“Since my album ‘The Mandate’ was really focused on me finding my purpose in Christ, ‘GO! Remix’ is the exclamation point on the theme of that album.” – iNTELLECT

GO! Remix drops on digital streaming platforms on July 21, 2023. It is an excellent addition to any inspirational or classic hip-hop playlist. What iNTELLECT and Polished Arrow Music have accomplished to this point in 2023 is nothing short of incredible. They certainly are deserving of the recognition that has come their way due to hard work and perseverance.

Allow GO! Remix to encourage you as you go out into the world and carry the banner of Christ Jesus.

iNTELLECT and Procyse Announce the Release of Their Highly-Anticipated Revision Project

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about him, and cried out, ‘This was he of whom I said, He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’) For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” [John 1:14-17]

The amazing thing about grace is that, despite our best efforts to write the ending, our story is unfinished.

Grace gives us an opportunity. It allows space for our humanity to get in the way and still rise above the odds. It is not for our own sake but for the sake of Christ who earned the grace we receive. This gift is not a one-time offer. Instead, grace continues.

For Christian rap artists iNTELLECT and Procyse (Polished Arrow Music), The Art of Grace is the opportunity to tell the best story possible.

The first iteration of the EP was released in February of 2021.

This was before the creation of Polished Arrow Music and during the early stages of iNTELLECT and Procyse’s gelling as a duo. Following the original release, the collaboration was met with plenty of positive responses and represented the beginning of the journey the two artists would travel together. However, the story living inside these songs was far from finished.

“‘For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus’ [Ephesians 2:10] describes the work that God is doing in our lives. His grace is a work of art. This album that Procyse and I put together was meant to put His beautiful work on display.” – iNTELLECT

The two began investing more time into the project despite the fact that it had already been released, something unheard of in today’s music industry.

Those efforts resulted in a new and unique sonic experience. The classic hip-hop vibe remains intact, but the spirit of the records has been given new life. Along with the revised versions of “I’m So…”, “Rise Up”, “Amazing Grace”, and “For the Culture”, new songs were added that round out the project’s purpose.

Featuring artists TC, JusJames, Yasad One, DJ Dsern, and DJ Navin Johnson, the updated version of The Art of Grace is set to release on digital music platforms on June 2, 2023. Along with production by the original EP’s producer Newselph, the revised installment includes additional production from F-Plus and Brokenfinga.

Polished Arrow Music has quickly established itself as a standout indie imprint within the Christian rap industry. The label has rightly earned a reputation as a source of high-quality boom-bap hip-hop, creating music with meaningful content and top-tier sound quality.
