Louder Than The Music

Trip Lee will release his highly anticipated third studio album, 'Between Two Worlds' on 22nd June 2010. The album features guest performances by Lecrae, Sho Baraka, Jimmy Needham, Thi'sl and more. The first radio single, 'The Invasion (Hero)' featuring Jai is available now at iTunes.

Following on from Trip Lee's debut album 'If They Only Knew' (2006) and second album '20/20' (2008), the new album continues to blend hip-hop with Trip's distinct southern sound, unique delivery and gospel-saturated lyrics. Trip was also featured on Lecrae's Dove Award-nominated hit single 'Jesus Muzik'.

Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Trip Lee had dreams of being a professional athlete or famous rapper, and he began to hone his lyrical skills at the age of 12. "I rapped about random stuff, how hot I was, how many girls I could pull", Trip says. But upon giving his life to Christ at age 14, his focus changed from fortune, fame and women to serving and ministering the Gospel.

"One day, I just decided, I’m only doing Christian hip-hop. Rappers like Ambassador and Da Truth helped provide a model for how I would begin to do that," he says. Trip also had an immense desire to learn and teach the Word of God, so he became a leader in his youth group and preached his first sermon at age 17.

In 2004, Trip met Reach Records recording artist Lecrae at a concert, and Lecrae eventually began to disciple the aspiring artist. While still in high school, Trip was given the opportunity to pen a few devotionals for the Reach Records website that dealt with theological matters and showcased his spiritual maturity. As a result, Trip signed with Reach Records, and his debut album hit stores nationwide just days after his high school graduation.
