about

I love how free indie artists can be with their lyrics, beats, style and overall sound. Alan C. definitely has creative freedom and isn’t ashamed or afraid to rap about the hope of Christ and the love of God. Having such attributes makes each song authentic; not sugar coated, and not watered down. In a stuffy room known as hip-hop, Duncan uses his craft to bring a breath of 'FRESH AIR' to the industry – mainstream and underground."

"Rap lyrics do not typically strike a cord universally, but how about vignettes about God’s saving grace, salvation and forgiveness? These themes are present in Alan C. Duncan’s music.

As a Christian rap artist, Duncan says his songs have the ability to connect with a range of listeners. “What I try to do with the music is have someone in mind who maybe doesn’t already believe in Jesus Christ,” Duncan said. “That’s who I think about when I write my music. I am giving a Christian message in my music. I am very up front about Christ being the only means of salvation. I just try to say it in a way so I’m almost preaching to myself.”

The album features the voice of Duncan’s wife, Joanna, whom he met at a church function, and Nancy 'N' Kapsar playing the flute. There are also hints of piano, guitar, live acoustic bass and a child’s toy organ from the 1950s.

“The music out there now isn’t fresh,” Duncan said. “The lyrics are getting old. It isn’t encouraging. If anything, it is doing more damage. I try to be as Scripturally accurate as possible,” Duncan said. “I cross check my references with others and try to say things in a way that will resonate with people.”

Duncan gets much of his creative motivation from knowing that his songs have an impact on others. Through his ministry, Duncan has performed for audiences in West Africa, Alabama and a host of clubs. He also connects by mail to an incarcerated man. Above all, Duncan is confident he has found his calling."
