“Holy War Battles” is a story forged in fire, and Samuel Blackshaw’s latest blends rap, gospel, and hip-hop with the raw weight of real life and the clarity of spiritual awakening. Blackshaw wrote and composed the song himself, and it comes from a very personal change in his life.
Samuel was addicted and possessed by demons when he wrote the song. He says that during this time, he felt lost and overwhelmed in his own life. “Holy War Battles” is both a weapon and a shield for fighting it, with a sense of urgency, blending hip-hop and gospel while maintaining respect. The end result is a strong, confrontational sound that ultimately saves people.
This release is so powerful because it gives people a sense of purpose. The story of how Samuel Blackshaw changed through faith is an integral part of the song, and that honesty is what makes “Holy War Battles” so powerful. It feels like every beat and bar was made to show the fight between light and dark inside.
The song combines the directness of rap with the message-driven heart of gospel music. It talks to people who know that battles aren’t always outside them and that winning often starts inside. Samuel Blackshaw shows in “Holy War Battles” that he is an artist who isn’t afraid to be honest, believes in what he says, and knows the way he has been called to go. This song stands out because it tells the truth without holding back, polishing, or changing it.
