It’s been a while since KJ-52 went full class clown. but now you have something to be thankful for on Thursday. Mr. Five-Two dropped a collaborative Christmas album with producer Spechouse called, Mostest Wonderfullest Time of the Year.
Here’s what KJ had to say about it…
My very first Christmas album! While spending years growing up in Florida it’s always been a challenge to get into the Christmas spirit. When it’s 85° out/sunny and the middle of December it can be hard to get into the Christmas mindset. This is probably the reason why I’ve never done a Christmas album till now… so for this project, I figured the best thing I can do is write about what I know.
I got the opportunity to team up with a good friend and producer spec house to create this entire project. It runs the gamut of ridiculous to serious, all the while chronicling the story of a man named Dave stuck on a terrible vacation in Florida. In a lot of ways, it’s a throwback to my earlier albums where I wasn’t afraid to be deathly serious and ridiculously over-the-top.
I had so much fun making this album, it was probably the easiest record I’ve ever made in 20 years. If you’ve ever been frustrated by shopping, your kids, or the craziness that goes into the holiday season this album is for you! Conversely, at its core, it is still very much about the reason for the season: Jesus.
It’s the perfect album to put on as you get ready for your holiday season…I hope you get as much joy out of it as I got to make it.

Way back in early last year we spoke to Lecrae on Community During Chaos. One of the things we spoke about was the impact of his partnership with Love Beyond Walls. Together they provided the city of Atlanta with handwashing stations for the homeless. From there, the organization exploded. “That thing changed the world!” Lecrae exclaimed. “People don’t even realize that and I don’t take no credit or nothing. I called my man Terence Lester [founder] because he’s been dealing with people experiencing homelessness for years. What’s going on around here…how can I be apart of it?” Lester said he […]

“With Me Now” by Sansone is a record about rallying together. There is no time where God said that we shouldn’t be in community with one another, and that is really what I am emphasizing in this song. The verses are written as both a reminder to myself of how far I have come as a man and a reminder to the listener of what God says about who they are. Although the production has a lighter, more pop-driven direction and sound, the message behind With Me Now is just as intentional as any other. When God calls us, he […]
