90s-2000s Playlist: #BringBackGoodMusic + A Shoutout!

90s-2ks Mix Playlist

I'm back! Just a playlist with my favorite Spotify playlist of music from my era (Yes, I know, there are a few

songs that are from today/2010s, it's cool!)! The one thing I love about the 90s-2000s music wise is

that the music has lots of great messages that we can relate to, and even some topics that we can learn

education lessons from! I hope you all enjoy it!

P.S. I have a shoutout to Jake DiLaura's blog from my college writing class! His blog is not exactly

related to mine title-wise, but I, too, absolutely love Christian rap music as he does! The music that

he picks every single week (whether I have heard of the artist(s) or not) is very appealing to my eyes,

and I'm sure other young teens would love the music as well! Check it out when you have the

chance; trust me you won't be disappointed!

Christian Rap That Doesn't Suck

Lecrae's "I'll Find You" feat. Tory Kelly: A Note of Encouragement





For today's post, I would like to FINALLY do some christian rap! I absolutely love Lecrae (and Tori 

Kelly, although she's a pop artist) and the message that this new song, "I'll Find You," brings! His 

lyrics talk about how sometimes we struggle through life and we feel like our pain will last for an 

eternity. Whether it's experiencing tragedy, sickness, or even trying to simply make it through school, 

it may feel like we're drowning in deep despair, we may feel like no one is there to help us fight 

through. However, as the lyrics say, "When you got nobody to turn to, just hold on, and I'll find you," 

God tells us this to reassurance that He is in the midst of what we face. In addition to fighting pain, 

we may even feel that "they don't understand the battle I face," so it can cause us to stay positive 

around others, and break down while they aren't around. 


Are you feeling this way? Do you feel that the pain is lasting longer than temporary at this present 

moment, and that no one understands what you're going through? Well if you are, don't feel like 

you're alone. I myself have been facing a lot of pain through these past few weeks, but I must rest in 

the fact that "it's all worth it in the end," and that God will always strengthen us when we are going  

through. Also, it's very important to talk to someone about what you're facing; if you bottle up your 

problems, it doesn't help at all. TALK. There will always be someone who understand you, and if 

people may not help you the way you expect, God WILL. He is always your friend. I just realized 

that this post just turned to a serious matter, and I'm okay with that. As Christians (young and old), 

we need music like I'll Find You as a reminder that no matter the outcome, God will never leave us to 

drown in our pain and constant trials. Stay strong everyone, "it's all worth it in the end." God is 

saying "just hold on and I'll find you." 



"Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." -- Isaiah 41:10
