On “Dead Man Walking”, Samuel Blackshaw delivers not just a verse but a spiritual awakening disguised as high-energy hip-hop. This is bold, alive, and it pulsates with a heartbeat born from divine purpose. Those initial few seconds already hit hard with the beat insisting on your full attention. Hip-hop is the unmistakable rhythm, but its intention runs deeper, much like jazz or the earlier forms of hip-hop itself.
Samuel is confident with the microphone, but never boastful. He’s rapping for keeps, and you can hear it in his voice that he has this story on lock down because it’s just as much personal as it is prophetic. In the name of a vision from the Lord, it rolls around like a witness on wheels, working outside its musical restrictions to fulfill exactly where a listener is at.
“Dead Man Walking” sis a special one because of the seamless integration of the gospel message alongside their rap delivery. At the bottom, the message is an exhortation to come before Christ, to wake yourself from sleep unto salvation, and to be healed by redemption. “Dead Man Walking” is a clean entry point to a discography of faith-based bars and a sense of purpose. It’s the beginning of a movement, and if you are eager for music that is real, unapologetic, and inspiring, “Dead Man Walking” is your new listen line-up.
