Like many Christian hip hop artists, Lawrence Williams started rhyming secular until he’d seen enough – his brother lost his life on the streets. Williams was determined to dedicate his craft to the church and working with troubled youth, and rechristened himself “Modern Day David.”

On his latest single, “Get There,” Modern Day David (MDD) announces the status of his journey: “I won’t turn back/I feel like I’m closer now than ever before.” Proof positive: he’s now an elder at Praise Tabernacle Ministries in Brooklyn, NY.

The fresh-sounding “Get There” has a club-ready bounce reminiscent of Rockwell’s “Somebody’s Watching Me,” which MDD interpolates a few times during the performance.
