NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 15, 2023) – A new single, “Provide (featuring Cliford Gray),” is being released to Christian radio today by pastor and musician Jelani Aswad. The single goes for adds to Christian Hip-Hop and Rhythmic-formatted radio outlets.
“Provide,” from the album titled “Provide & Chosen,” was written by Jelani Aswad Nkosi Pinnock and Cliford Gresseau and produced by Beatz Era. A video for the new song is on YouTube.
“Provide” follows the release of “Take Off,” which debuted at No. 3 on CRC Weekly.
“During the past decade, I have returned to college to study pastoral ministry, became an associate pastor and have been ordained by the Christian & Missionary Alliance,” Aswad shares. “Also, that time has included 10 years of marriage, three children, six years of full-time ministry, developing my craft with my best friend and writer of Free DA9, Cliford Gray, and the loss of my dear mother, Joanne. All of this has set me on a course for Kingdom impact."
“I feel the time to share those stories through music is now,” he says.”
Aswad, a native of the Bronx who grew up in Spring Valley, N.Y., learned singing and performing in church. As he grew up in the city and suburbs, the stories of his neighborhood intrigued him, leading to a deep desire to catalog these experiences through music and poetry.
“My music is for all the nations,” Aswad shares. “And the message is that Jesus is the hope of the world and you can find peace in Him."
“The gospel of Jesus Christ transformed my life,” Aswad says, “but I feel the untold stories, the deep groaning and the heartfelt lamentations of the community I was raised in could bring transformation to a world so desperately seeking peace in temporary places.”
Aswad has been managed by McLaughlin Music Group since June 2022.
