Giano is a rapper who writes rhymes about things bigger than himself. “It’s not about the fame, cuz if that’s the case, then we’re really barking up the wrong tree!” Rejecting braggadocio, Giano focuses instead on an uplifting message of God’s love. “The love He has for us is immeasurable, incomparable to anything we could ever experience.”
Do you have a song that, on those days you wish you’d stayed in bed, really lifts your spirits? “Sing” by Roni Size and Jocelyn Brown is that song for me.

In his song “Be,” Commons says:
Never looking back
Or too far in front of me
The present is a gift
And I just want to be.
The word-play alone is great, but there’s a point to it, and the message is powerful. Live today, and don’t worry about tomorrow.

Do you ever find yourself caught up with the things you don’t have? Maybe, from time to time, you think, “I deserve more than this.” Maybe it’s been a while since you got a raise, and you’re thinking, “I work hard every day, and it’s about time I got some more money.”
If you’re like me, it’s about the time you’re dreaming of that new flat screen when you hear about someone close to you struggling to pay her rent or buy groceries. And you get that sinking feeling – that realization that you got so caught up in yourself and your wants that you forgot about somebody who was struggling just to get by.
