UK gospel rapper Si Knightly releases his first track of 2023

Good Shepherd is an uplifting and exciting UK-US collaboration.

Si teams up with talented gospel lyricist Knick Knack to reflect on life’s journey as a Christian. The record is inspired by Jesus’ famous words in John’s gospel and the renowned Psalm 23.

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”

Good Shepherd celebrates God’s promises in Christ. It affirms his ongoing presence and faithful provision in every season.

Si Knightly and Knick Knack collab

Complemented by Knick Knack’s transparent testimony, Si’s rhyming depicts a Saviour who leads, protects, and comforts all those who trust in him. Even while navigating life’s different paths. Si engages listeners with hope, drawing them into his own journey as a follower of Jesus. The chorus builds up to proclaim the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Set to an alternative rap beat composed by US producer Atrade, Good Shepherd boasts melodic keyboard riffs and vocal samples. Production is accompanied by electronic pads and an infectious drumbeat. Si’s deep theological lyricism, powerful cadence, and trademark multi-syllable rhyming once again combine to create a compelling and memorable track.
