Sandusky, OH - “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.” [Romans 1:16-17]

Righteousness is not a dream or a really nice concept. It is a standard that the followers of Christ have been called to aspire to each day and in every moment. The same Jesus who walked this earth and did so without sin is the same Jesus who lives within us and guides us to follow in his footsteps. So when the excuse of “being human” is given to account for our shortcomings, we are to remember that humans are God’s creation and he instilled the ability to accomplish amazing things…including defying the world’s standards and being The Righteous.

Going from never hearing the original Above the Clouds debut project to remixing the album, Yasad One and Above the Clouds are dropping a new take on one of Christian rap’s most critically acclaimed debuts of the past five years.

The Righteous Remixes is available across digital streaming platforms beginning on May 28, 2024.

‘The Righteous’ fostered the return of the producer and emcee duo to the CHH genre at a time when solo artists dominated the landscape. As veteran creatives, rapper iNTELLECT and beat maker Tae Lamar were able to demonstrate that the influence of hip hop’s golden era was still relevant in the modern music industry. With boom bap rooted beats and skilled wordplay, ‘The Righteous’ stood out as a testament to the staying power of 90s nostalgia.

On The Righteous Remixes, producer Yasad One gives the album a new feel by incorporating his own unique touch to the project’s overall sound.

Guest features on the project include CHH legend Mouthpi3ce, fellow Polished Arrow Music artist JusJames, and longtime iNTELLECT collaborator - DJ Sean P. After proposing the idea of a remix version of the album, Yasad One took the best elements, from a project that he had only recently heard, and provided a facelift that not only elevates but stays true to the original spirit of the album.

About Above the Clouds

Rapper iNTELLECT and beat maker Tae Lamar formed the group Above the Clouds in early 2019 due to their common love for Jesus and 90’s hip hop. Drawing comparisons to classic hip hop groups like Pete Rock & CL Smooth and Gang Starr (who the name of the group is inspired by), this producer/emcee collaboration delivers a nostalgic brand of hip hop that shows that you can deliver the gospel over classic boom bap.
