Manafest

Manafest

Manafest--a name signifying the physical manifestation of Gods glory--became Chris’s name. And what word would be more appropriate for his sophomore release on BEC Recordings? Glory is exactly what he wants to be revealed through every element of his life, and it shows on every moment of this release. And though he made a strong impression on his debut Epiphany, there is little doubt that Manafests sophomore campaign will be his opus. Blending both urban influence with suburban energy, this is a rock-oriented hip-hop record that is an authentic presentation of rock-solid faith amidst uncertainty and trial.

"I wanted to allow all of my influences show on Glory. Musically, I wanted to blend the appeal of Linkin Park, Sum 41, and the Beastie boys. Vocally, I wanted to merge that with popular hip-hop a la Eminem and Kanye West. But beyond musical influence, I wanted to reflect on the issues around me in the most positive way possible. And whether I am talking about the loss of loved ones and abuse, or break-dancing and skate culture, its all for the glory of heaven. In the end, my prayer is that people would not simply bob their heads to this, but feel a very real sense of healing from the words. However, this record is not all serious. Some of my favorite tracks are the most lighthearted ones."
