Christian rapper Butta The Preacher is back with a powerful new project that’s already trending — his debut album, Chapter 1. Known for his melodic sound and unmatched versatility, the Gary, Indiana native is carving out a strong lane in gospel rap while reaching new audiences.
A Voice From Gary, Indiana
Hailing from the “City of Steel,” also the hometown of the legendary Michael Jackson, Butta The Preacher carries his city’s resilient spirit in every verse. His music is deeply rooted in biblical context, blended with raw personal testimonies. Chapter 1 reflects his journey of transformation — from surviving the streets to mourning the tragic loss of two brothers to gun violence. In his own words, this album is “preaching through the pen to the people.”
Blending Genres, Reaching Souls
What makes Chapter 1 stand out is Butta’s ability to seamlessly fuse gospel rap with sounds that resonate even in secular spaces. The project features collaborations with Mutt Dogg, CP Da Prince, Emanuel Da Prophet, Boone, and Trice Da Artist — each adding depth and diversity to the album’s message.
Backed by Award-Winning Talent
Behind the boards, Chapter 1 boasts heavyweight production. Platinum producer Ebon Thomas, known for his work with Rod Wave, leads the charge, alongside Julius Conway and Kritikal Dyverse. The polished yet soulful soundscape provides the perfect backdrop for Butta’s lyrical storytelling.
A Staple in Gospel Rap
Butta The Preacher is no stranger to recognition. Over the years, he has earned multiple awards, including consecutive honors as Hip Hop Artist of the Year. His consistency and dedication to gospel rap have cemented his place as one of the genre’s leading voices.
The Return of Butta The Preacher
After taking time away from the spotlight to craft this project, Butta is back stronger than ever. Chapter 1 is more than an album — it’s a testimony of faith, resilience, and purpose.
Chapter 1 is now streaming on all major digital platforms.
