From Mississippi, Dale “P. Lo Jetson” Sellers is an emerging Christian rap artist. He released his debut album, The Purpose, last month. A strong single from the album, “Cry Out,” is based on Psalm 34:6 and features J. Carter. J. Gramm produced the single.

Carter and Jetson make a good team. Jetson’s insistent rap is praise for God’s goodness to everyone, regardless of one’s individual failings. He invokes this with lines such as, “I read how you delivered Daniel, and shut up the lion’s mouth/And saw what you did for him you would do for me/And I don’t have to dot every i and cross every t.” It’s the perfect foil for Carter’s firm and steady but gentle reiteration of the chorus. The urgent melody is the ideal carrier of the message.

Sellers’ new surname “Jetson” is a play on the 1960s space-age cartoon family and symbolizes the rapper’s commitment to “remain in secession from the secular things of the world as decreed in Romans 12:2.”

The Purpose is available on iTunes and Amazon.com.
