[This is now going to be my, every B4IN article, standard opening (as of Dec. 19, 2024):
I get it, I really do, all these outlets are operating as a business… And how do they make money? Advertising! (more continues: /media/2024/07/click-bait-here-click-bait-there-everywhere-click-bait-2515961.html )
Yes, sorry, frankly I TOO find especially the initial Ads (they pile up, to be able to get them viewed in case someone doesn't read the whole article) here interrupting a nice/natural Read flow and are ANNOYING (but it keeps the Site FREE FOR VIEWING no Pay Wall to have to BUY your way past) and conversely their annoyance may indeed keep some from wanting to bother (so, Please, there is some GREAT CONTENT here on B4IN, keep reading the entire pieces despite the annoying Ads) and note if you engage an AD BLOCKER often I have found it/they can cause issues with seeing all the intended article content --- don't want you to miss any of mine, nor anyone else who posts here entire content as intended! The authors images (some or all), videos (some or all), their intended cross-reference links (vs Site produced Ad links, the easy Share-At/On buttons, and more, might also get "blocked" from viewing. And so now, to catch any NEW Readers, I too adding to annoyance having to repeat this over and over. My apologies. I endeavor to always give you DETAILED WRITINGS (and cross-reference related links with other rabbit-holes you can go down) hopefully you'll deem worthy of putting up with the annoying Ads to engage in/with.  I am NOT fond of the changes, but I have been with B4IN a long time now - certainly not looking to leave.  Lastly, note: I also used to write for REDSTATE as well as for TheLibertyBeacon, most of the pieces I wrote there (TLB are still there, some RedState pieces at IA/WBM.]

In this week’s CTP episode…

 

The world of music continues to evolve, and in the realm of rap, a transformative voice emerges through David Paul Brooks (DPB), an artist committed to injecting positivity, hope, and spiritual inspiration into a genre often criticized for its negative messaging. During a recent episode of ChristiTutionalist Politics, I had the privilege of diving deep into the musical journey of a man who represents more than just an entertainer—he’s a mission-driven artist dedicated to spreading light.

 

Brooks’ backstory is as compelling as his musical trajectory. Raised in Rockland County, New York, by a mother who was a gospel and rock ‘n’ roll pioneer, he was immersed in musical excellence from childhood. His mother, a Billboard-charting artist who opened for legendary performers like James Brown and Elvis Presley, ultimately dedicated her life to spiritual pursuits after experiencing significant personal challenges. This foundational experience profoundly shaped Brooks’ understanding of music’s transformative power.

 

What sets DPB apart in the rap landscape is his unwavering commitment to positive messaging. With chart-topping singles like ‘I Feel So Good Today’ and ‘Undefeated’, he’s proving that rap can be a vehicle for inspiration rather than negativity. His music tackles complex emotional themes like forgiveness, anti-bullying, and personal empowerment, offering listeners a refreshing alternative to the genre’s more confrontational narratives.

 

Brooks’ artistic vision extends beyond music. He’s developed a comprehensive brand around his mission, including a clothing line featuring motivational messages, a ‘souvenir Bible’, and multimedia projects like short films and animations. His anti-bullying animation and commitment to creating content that uplifts and educates demonstrates a holistic approach to cultural influence that transcends traditional musical boundaries.

 

His musical credentials are impressive, having shared stages with iconic artists like Salt-N-Pepa and opening for performers like LL Cool J. However, Brooks isn’t content to rest on past laurels. Currently, his song ‘Undefeated’ is under Grammy consideration and has already been nominated for over 20 different awards, including a potential Josie Award. These recognitions validate his approach of using music as a medium for positive change.

 

The conversation revealed Brooks’ philosophy that joy and laughter are essential medicines in our increasingly complex world. Referencing biblical wisdom about a ‘happy heart’ being like medicine, he sees his music as more than entertainment—it’s a therapeutic intervention. His tracks are deliberately crafted to make listeners smile, feel empowered, and believe in their potential to overcome challenges.

 

For artists and audiences seeking meaningful cultural contributions, DPB represents a powerful model of artistic integrity. By refusing to compromise his values and creating music that genuinely seeks to uplift and transform, he’s carving a unique path in the music industry. His multi-platform approach—music, animation, clothing, and motivational speaking—demonstrates that artistic expression can be a comprehensive tool for social inspiration.

 

One of the most compelling aspects of Brooks’ story is his personal transformation. After initially straying from his spiritual roots, he recommitted to a purpose-driven life, turning his musical talents into a platform for positive messaging. This redemptive narrative resonates deeply, offering hope to those who might feel stuck or discouraged in their own journeys.

 

The independent music charts have taken notice, with ‘I Feel So Good Today’ reaching number one for three consecutive weeks and ‘Undefeated’ topping adult contemporary charts. These achievements aren’t just musical milestones—they’re evidence that audiences are hungry for authentic, uplifting content that speaks to deeper human experiences.

 

As our conversation concluded, it was clear that David Paul Brooks is more than a rapper—he’s a cultural architect reimagining what music can accomplish. By consistently choosing hope over despair, positivity over negativity, and purpose over mere entertainment, he’s not just making music; he’s making a meaningful difference in how we perceive and interact with art.
