Shai Linne has been busy planting and pastoring a church in Philadelphia over the past couple years, but the lyrical theologian revealed on social media this week that he’s back in the studio.
Lamp Mode Recordings released his last album, Lyrical Theology, Pt. 2: Doxology, in May 2014. When Lamp Mode began to roll out his prior project, Lyrical Theology, Pt. 1: Theology, Shai said he planned for the series to be a trilogy, part three of which would be “sociology.”
A title and release date have not been announced. Shai has been using the hashtag “#StillJesus” on Twitter, which could refer to a title, single or concept.
Lamp Mode CEO Json mentioned at SXSW 2015 that Shai may release a mixtape.
“That Solus Christus Shai, just going in, no themes, no nothing and nobody’s safe,” Json said.
However, about a year and a half have passed since then, so plans may have changed.
Here are a series of tweets this week from Shai, including news of a potential collaboration with Beautiful Eulogy.
Feels so good to (finally) be back in the studio! So much to be said! #StillJesus pic.twitter.com/zSz8cT8gIg
