New CD ‘Heaven's Pen’ Hottest New Entry Of The Week Nashville, TN – Heralded as the ‘breakthrough’ new artist of the year, John Cook brings his unique urban-flavored style and lyrics to the Gospel world as THE top Gospel chart debut of the week for his CD “Heaven’s Pen.” “Heaven’s Pen,” on CCC Music / Alliant Music Group landed at Number 8 this week on Billboard’s Top Gospel Chart, an overwhelming indication that Christian Rap music is a viable and genuine expression of Gospel music. Cook brings an all new perspective and all new presentation while delivering an age-old message – The Gospel of Jesus Christ. He’s your son, is your brother, and is your neighbor … A young man who has seen more than his share of tragedy and trauma. Straight out of Brooklyn, Cook grew up in the heyday of Hip Hop. Witnessing both trials, and more importantly triumphs through God, John Cook found a way to give God glory for all He has done for him family in today’s language for today’s music. He was able to discover that both his love of rap music and deeply rooted dedication to God’s word could co-exist together. Fast forward to today and Cook is celebrating his TOP 10 position of his debut album. More than just a rapper, COOK has become an ambassador for the younger sect speaking the Gospel to them in their own language. In the vein of the Psalms and Proverbs he brings forth wisdom and understanding to a young audience in desperate need for a more positive way. A literal take on the meaning of Cook’s album title, he took his divinely inspired lyrics to paper to create this exciting new body of work. He reveals his love for God and his genuine desire to use his talent and voice to change the hearts of men and women. In a society that now seeks a spiritual, positive and inspirational voice, John Cook stands to be that very voice for the young people. First featured on the CCC Music compilation CD, “God Conscious” Cook was heard on the hit single “I Got The Victory (The Devil Is A Liar)” and “Dreaming.” Cook is a mainstay at the Christian Cultural Center ministry in Brooklyn. “HEAVEN’S PEN,” is available in-stores EVERYWHERE! |
