Rhapsody: The Story of Scripture in Hip-Hop

Published July 3, 2026

July 2026 features Rhapsody, Volumes 1 and 2: a multi-volume hip-hop telling of Scripture's story, from the Word that launched creation to the returning King who makes all things new.

Rhapsody is not a sermon replacement, and it is not a novelty track set. It is an artistic attempt to meet listeners where they are and lead them toward the feet of Jesus. The same God who inspired the prophets can speak through verse and beat when the content remains tethered to the text.

One story, many chapters

Volume 1 moves through major Old Testament movements. Volume 2 carries the announcement of Christ, His ministry, cross, and the hope of what follows. The point is coherence. The Bible's many books tell one redeeming story centered on Jesus.

Primary songwriter and producer Jeff Barnette continues the Nashville-rooted work of Resonate the Word here with a form meant for clarity and force. Listen critically with an open Bible. Let bars send you to chapters. Let the story lead you to the Savior.
