Hailed as having a “powerful gift of gospel storytelling” by author and theologian Andrew Wilson, and recognised to be in the vein of Shai Linne by UK urban music pioneer Efrem Buckle, new rap artist Si Knightly has cross-cultural appeal. His Double A-side debut singles – ‘Calvary Hill’ and ‘The Third Day’ – from his forthcoming album of the latter name, are released to coincide with the Easter period, on which the tracks passionately and powerfully reflect.

Si Knightly is a rapper, spoken word artist and songwriter. He works full-time as an urban missionary team leader for London City Mission, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with the least reached people in London. He serves on the leadership team of his local church, Redeemer Croydon.

‘Calvary Hill’ is packed with rich lyrical theology, skillfully delivered through thoughtful and creative rhyme schemes. While the emotive narrative provokes deep thought, it also prompts a wonderful sense of hope in the glory of the cross.

‘In The Third Day’, the uplifting melodic rhythm, soulful female vocal and joyful expression of Christ’s victorious resurrection will delight listeners as they consider the wonder of the Easter story.

Andrew Wilson comments: “Si Knightly’s powerful gift of gospel storytelling is brilliantly complemented by his delivery. Expressing profound Biblical truths through eloquent rhymes, he has the wonderful ability to engage your mind, heart, soul and musical ear all at once.”

Efrem Buckle adds: “The musicality of the classically soulful hip-hop stylings are one thing, but I am especially encouraged and excited by his content; clearly heralding a resurgence of UK lyrical theology.”

Both singles are now available ahead of Si Knightly’s full debut album, “The Third Day”, which will be released in September 2020.
