NOTHING BUT LIGHT WORK (2020)
// Release Year: 2020
// Genre: Christian Hip-Hop
// Label: SOC Media
// Available On:
Thematic Message:
SOC & Carvell joined together to drop this song in Indianapolis, IN, USA. The focus was to highlight the work of the Light of Christ … Jesus. While at the same time, it’s not too much – just “light work” when it comes to working for Him.
------
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
John 8:12 (ESV)
14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16

GUILTY INNOCENCE (2020)

Thematic Message:
In SOC’s 6th release - he wears his heart on his sleeve reflecting on the defeats, challenges, doubts, and shame that can occur from missing the mark of personal, and more importantly, spiritual expectations. Without question - guilty on all counts. However, it’s through these valleys where there is critical opportunity to learn and grow the most - demonstrating not only our reliance on God, but providing a light for those such that we realize we are all completely and utterly dependent on Him. Because of the sacrifice of Jesus, we are acquitted as INNOCENT.
Once that beautiful truth is realized, God can clearly be seen as the faithful, trustworthy Victor, not only as sovereign in a dark world, but also in as intimate a place as our hearts. With that knowledge and practical experience as a crystal clear reflection of God’s unfailing love, SOC boldly proclaims the victorious journey we all can experience to live a fruitful and honoring life.
There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1

OVERCOME (2017)
// Release Year: 2017
// Genre: Christian Hip-Hop
// Label: SOC Media
// Available On:
Thematic Message:
SOC brings a contemporary, clever, inspirational message atop music from producers across the world with this album entitled "Overcome." The Indiana native SOC now resides in France where this album was ultimately produced as a blend of sounds across the US, Europe, and Africa unified by one key message.
This message is that despite the fact that circumstances and situations can seem overwhelming and can overcome us at times - the reality is that we can overcome these situations through the One who has overcome the world, Jesus Christ. The message is as challenging as it is encouraging.
Even Brandon (aka SOC) himself stated "I wrote this as much for myself as i did for anyone who might have a listen. I struggle in all kinds of areas just as the next person, so this is a reminder and challenge to myself to try to endeavor to do better through Him who gives me strength. No, we won't always hit the mark, but we all have to keep pushing to be better tomorrow than we are today."
Balancing family life, corporate life, and living abroad for the second time certainly comes with challenges, but the underlying message is that there is always opportunity to boast in our weaknesses so God can show Himself strong through it all.

Thematic Message:
Each of us, no matter where we find ourselves within the spectrum of life, must 'Get The Picture' and focus in on Christ as the sole source of fulfilling our purpose.
For those who haven't accepted Him, it's critical we see our desperate need for Him. For those who have, that's just the beginning of a glorious journey to find intimacy with Him and allow Him to shine through us to a world in serious need of saving.
It's also critically important we mature to grow as we journey to understand what it means to truly follow Him.

THE NARROW ROAD:
1st Journey (2013)
// Release Year: 2013
// Genre: Christian Hip-Hop
// Label: SOC Media
// Available On:
Thematic Message:
This album is a direct follow-up from SOC's very relevant and impactful sophomore album, "The Narrow Road." In this 8-track release are records from a diverse group of talented producers alongside SOC recording his very evident, unashamed message of Truth about the Gospel in the City Centre of England's Liverpool. Featured are talented artists from the UK, to South Africa - as well as connections with SOC's home town of Indianapolis, Indiana in the US. Without question, this release is set to be another groundbreaking milestone in the ultimate goal of spreading the Gospel to the ends of the earth through his love of hip-hop.
Listeners can always feel the classical inspiration consistent with SOC's classical training with heavy strings, synths, and melodies paradoxically matched with thundering bass lines and 808's to produce an authentically different yet captivating sound. The Narrow Road: 1st Journey does not disappoint as it delivers just as its predecessors have.

THE NARROW ROAD: (2012)
// Release Year: 2012
// Genre: Christian Hip-Hop
// Label: SOC Media
// Available On:
Thematic Message:
SOC returns with his sophomore album – “The Narrow Road.” His debut album, “Rebirth of SOC,” focused on the clear mission to be a Servant of Christ not only through music, but also for all believers each and every day given to our call as followers of Jesus Christ. However, with such a call come challenges. Scripture is clear that it’s our charge to stay on the “Narrow Road,” and not be enticed into travelling down the broad road, which leads to destruction (Matthew 7:13-14).
This album is about more than an acknowledgement of the challenges we all share as we travel the narrow road; because despite these challenges, the joy in the message is that we indeed have a means to stay on the narrow road, fight the good fight, and press toward the prize to first honour our Lord, but also to be a shining example on this mission field of life. Our God equips us sufficiently, in abundance and in grace to accomplish our goal of Christ-like-ness through the Holy Spirit. All this - so we can hear “well done my good and faithful servant” when our race is complete
