KJ-52's 'Mental' Finally Gets Release Date After Delay; Record Features Lecrae, Tedashii, and Soul Glo Activatur (VIDEO)

Christian rapper KJ-52 announced his newest album Mental will be released on October 21 and it features guest appearances by Lecrae, KB, Tedashii, and, Soul Glo Activatur in pumped up jock jam anthems.

"I love sports and that speech coaches give about going into battle and getting your game face on," KJ said in a press releases, "That's such a picture of this world today. People fight just to get out of bed, fight traffic, fight temptation, fight the enemy. If you don't get your game face on in this life then you're going to get run over."

He continued, "It feels like this world has gone mental, like up is down and right is wrong. My hope is that through Mental people will understand that there is calm in the midst of the chaos. More than anything, we need to renew our minds, set them on that Higher Power."

The first single is called "Tonight" and features KJ singing over a grooving club track that has hints of EDM. His approach he said was to "try something unexpected and get some people's attention." He even dabbles in a reggae jam on the album.

Another highlight on the album is "Misfit Toys," which, to quote the song says "the skate kids, emos, straight kids, weirdoes, gay kids, losers, broke down zeroes... don't you forget you are loved."

"I was that kid. I felt like an outcast until God showed me a way and put me in training, so to speak--taught me another way of thinking. So often taking a stand for truth and love in the world can make people say we've gone mental; but it's when we choose to go against the grain that we begin to make a real difference," he said.

"Tonight" became the most added song on the Christian charts for the week of Feb. 3 according to a press release. The song is from upcoming album, Mental, which is set to arrive April 29.

KJ shot the music video for the song with Ride Nature, an action sports mission organization. The rapper used a lot of extras and locals in the video which attracted a lot of attention.

"The music video and the song were basically about a community of believers coming together to give God everything they have in every aspect of their lives," explained KJ-52 in a press release, "We just wanted to reflect that - young people defying the odds, and shaking loose the constraints of the things that hold them back."
