Here it is, my very first Christmas album! While spending the years growing up in Florida it's always been a challenge to get into the Christmas spirit.

Here it is, my very first Christmas album! While spending the years growing up in Florida it's always been a challenge to get into the Christmas spirit. When it’s 85° out/sunny and the middle of December it can be hard to get into the Christmas mindset. This is probably the reason why I’ve never done a Christmas album till now… so for this project I figured the best thing I can do is write about what I know.

I got the opportunity to team up with a good friend and producer spec house to create this entire project. It runs the gamut of ridiculous to serious, all the while chronicling the story of a man named Dave on stuck on a terrible vacation in Florida. In a lot of ways it’s a throwback to my earlier albums where I wasn't afraid to be deathly serious and ridiculously over-the-top.

I had so much fun making this album, it was probably the easiest record I've ever made in 20 years. If you've ever been frustrated by shopping, your kids, or the craziness that goes into the holiday season this album is for you! Conversely, at its core it is still very much about the reason for the season: Jesus.

It's the perfect album to put on as you get ready for your holiday season…I hope you get as much joy out of it as I got to make it.

Merry Christmas!

On September 29th 2022 Southwest Florida experienced the largest hurricane to ever hit the state of Florida. My city of Cape Coral was dead center for this Category Four Hurricane, and myself and my family experienced this catastrophic event first hand.

On September 29th 2022 Southwest Florida experienced the largest hurricane to ever hit the state of Florida. My city of Cape Coral was dead center for this Category Four Hurricane, and myself and my family experienced this catastrophic event first hand.

Emerging afterwards to a damaged house and nearly having a telephone pole on my roof I realized that we were "still standing". We lost power, water, electricity, internet and lives in my community but as a local pastor I knew that this was the time for the church to arise! The following weeks have been spent serving the community with the love of Christ in tangible ways (food, water, repairs and much more).

This project is inspired by those stories and is intended to bring much needed hope, joy and relief to a community that is "still standing".

One day after leaving boxing my son he leaned over to me and said "Dad you should do a new album called kj52 vs jonah.. you should talk about what your life is like now as a pastor compared to what it used to be like as kj52"

Out of the mouth of babes they say..

I've been collecting and remaking/remixing some of my old classics over the last

I've been collecting and remaking/remixing some of my old classics over the last year along with continuing to find new inspiration in the season I'm now in (full time church ministry). This currently became a reality when I partnered with Niko "the hybrid" Price for his UFC walk in song on the Conor McGregor fight card.

Every time I've tried to get away from who I am I've found myself pulled right back to where I started. The mission remains the same all these years later: using hip hop to reach people with the power of the Gospel.

These songs are a collection of where I'm at, where I've been and where I'm going. Thank you so much for partnering with me on this.. you're the most faithful group of fans a middle aged pastor/rapper could ever ask for.

One Love, One God, One Way.
