Christian rapper Trip Lee dropped his new album Rise at midnight last night and it is currently No. 1 on the top albums list on iTunes. In addition to this, he also released a music video for the song "Shweet."

"Rise has a lot of different meanings," Trip said to Vibe about the album, "It's a call-to-action to rise from the dead and actually live. We're born spiritually dead, and I'm calling for everyone to become spiritually alive. Secondly, don't wait until later to live the way you were created. God created you to honor Him, find joy, and serve others. Don't sleep on that. Lastly, rise above the low expectations people have."
