Trip Lee Launches End.Notes Podcast In The Midst Of Dropping A Single Every Month

Trip Lee, Dallas-born rapper, author, former pastor, husband, and father, releases his 2nd episode of the “End.Notes” Podcast with Co-host, Author and former Pastor John O following the release of new singles, “At The Cross” ft. Madison Ryann Ward and “Lay Down” in back to back months!

In 2022, Trip Lee released his seventh studio album, “The End.” A project very near and dear to his heart, Trip knew from its conception that he wanted to partner it with a podcast. “End.Notes” is that vision brought to life. Follow Trip Lee along with his friend, author, entrepreneur and former pastor, John Onwuchekwa, as they walk through “The End” track by track and share about the creation process of each song, discuss themes woven into the lyrics and share personal stories and experiences related to those themes. Trip and John are joined by several special guests throughout including Lecrae, Jackie Hill Perry, Crawford Loritts, Tedashii and more. You can listen to the first two episodes of this 10 episode podcast now here.

“I believe the best way to enjoy things is deeply, so I wanted to make this podcast as a way for people to dive deeper into the themes throughout the album, how the music was made and what I have learned after coming to the end of myself…” Trip says. “I hope when people listen or watch they are reminded that coming to the end of ourselves is where we find our true selves and ultimately learn that there is more to the story.”

In April of this year, Trip announced that he would be dropping a new single the last Friday of every month starting with “At The Cross” ft. Madison Ryann Ward. He’s since remained faithful to that promise releasing his second single “Lay Down” in May as well. Coming up on the release of his third single on June 30th, “Glory,” He continues to bring even more to the world through the “End.Notes” podcast sponsored by VOICES of Our Daily Bread.

Trip Lee’s storied career began over a decade ago after a chance meeting with Lecrae and the Reach Records team at a show. 6 full length albums later and over 5 years of planting and pastoring churches, all while dealing with chronic fatigue, Trip is fully committed to music once again and ready to impact the world through hopeful lyricism and handcrafted sounds.

Looking toward the future, Trip’s aim is to “reframe and replace our vision of despair and deconstruction with hope and sanctification.” His new music is the fruit of his endurance and a reminder that even when we come to what feels like “the end,” There is More to The Story.

On Friday, March 4th, the award winning artist, pastor, author, and founding member of the 116 Movement, released his seventh album, THE END along with a new single and video for “Right Out The Gate.” The energetic “Right Out The Gate,” finds Trip coming right out the gate and back to doing what I always wanted to do which is making dope music, challenging world views, and pointing people towards the truth!

From the creative singles and album artwork designed by Kevin Hackett to a dramatic trailer directed by Nathan “Dust” Corrona which displays Trip’s acting chops, the roll out has been conceptually and visually engaging. In 2021, Trip Lee surprised 116 fans with a new song, “You Got It,” a single released on the Reach Records Presents Summer ’21 Playlist. He followed quickly behind with “Supernatural,” a warm-up song for The End and then dropped an anthem with “Stone,” produced by Mashell and Juice Bangers along with a music video for the song directed by Dustbrandfilms.

[Album] The End – Trip Lee

Award winning artist, pastor, author, and founding member of the 116 Movement, TRIP LEE, is back and this time he’s releasing THE END (out now)! While many would immediately assume that the award-winning artist, author, pastor, and rapper is announcing the end of his career in music, for Trip Lee, “every ending is a new beginning!”

“Most will think the title, The End, is connected to my final departure from making music, but that’s far from the truth,” shares Trip. It’s symbolic of the season I’m in personally and musically right now. It symbolizes the coming to the end of ourselves, where one door closes so another can open,” he explains “The state of our nation and the world has caused so many of us to look inward at the legacy we would leave behind if the world were really to end. The end of ourselves is not necessarily the end of our story. The suffering and uncertainty we’re in now feel like the end of everything, but actually the Lord is clearing the pathway that leads to him and a renewed life!”

Reach Records’ Trip Lee Opens Up About His Journey With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Trip Lee, one of Reach Records’ flagship rappers, opened up in detail about his journey with chronic fatigue syndrome on a recent episode of Trevor Talks.

The artist’s struggles with the incurable chronic illness inspired one of his best known songs to date, “Sweet Victory,” which he released in 2014 on his acclaimed album Rise. That battle with illness continues to be one that Trip faces every single day, as he details in the podcast interview.

“The truth is that life is really hard and God is really good. Both of these things are true,” the multi-talented rapper, minister, husband and father shares. “I think sometimes in Christian music, we’re not that great at holding both together.”

Trip Lee has always epitomized what it might look like to embrace the tension of those truths. It’s an approach that also informed his book Rise: Get Up and Live in God’s Great Story, as well as his two 2021 singles, “Supernatural” and “You Got It.” All of Trip’s work reflects the maturation and sanctification process he has worked through navigating the daily challenges of ministry, fatherhood and chronic illness.

This podcast episode is the latest way Trip is offering wisdom gleaned from his experiences with listeners. “Hard seasons don’t mean that God is gone,” the rapper earnestly concludes.

It’s been a while since we heard from TRIP LEE, and he makes his return with a new video and single, “You Got It,” featured on the Summer ’21 Playlist presented by Reach Records.

“The visuals pokes fun at the stereotypical inauthentic image that artists today are encouraged to promote,” shares Trip Lee.Things don’t quite go quite like he expects and he questions, “Where else can I go?” The biblical verse 1 Timothy 6:10 comes to comes to mind as you watch.

“For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.”While Lecrae is not featured on the song, he makes a surprise appearance and in character. Filmed in Atlanta and directed by Nathan “Dust” Corrona, this is the first time in over 5 years that Trip he has been in front of the video camera.

LYRICS

[Intro]
GAWVI, get ’em
Uh-huh, yessir
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
You could see me grindin’ in the day (In the day)
They like, “Hold up, boy, you need to get away (Get away)
You’ve been doin’ 90 on the interstate” (Interstate)
I ain’t wylin’, boy, I’m tryna win the race
In this with no bed or real estate (Yeah)
I know Maury, boy, they know minimum wage (Talk to ’em, man)
Plagued with the same birth pains (Huh)
But I know my labor’s ain’t in vain (Ain’t in vain, yeah, yuh)
Hold up, might not like this low but
I got this life on loan up
And granny got me grown up (Got me grown)
And I don’t know what everybody been on
But GAWVI got a heater I could rant on (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ayy, I wish I could say that there was no ceiling (No ceiling)
But at the time I’m my own villain (Own villain)
Up and down, baby, drone-drilling
Flesh weak, but the soul willing, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Stay off, I ain’t finna stay off (Stay off)
Lay off, I ain’t tryna lay off (Lay off)
Pay off, I know it’ll pay off (Pay off)
Tell ’em we ain’t takin’ no days off (Yeah)

[Chorus]
Days off, takin’ no days off (Woo)
Boys think I’m long gone, way off (Way off)
Days off, no days off (Yeah, yeah)

Tell ’em we ain’t takin’ no days off

[Verse 2]
Yeah, ayy, yeah
Can’t nobody top me, yeah, they clockin’ in on a stormy day
Okay, line ’em up
Covers off, everything I gotta give I’ma give away
Okay, line ’em up
My body told me it can’t really see me on
Nothing better than a bed I’m sleepin’ on
But I’ma keep grinding ’til it rain
And when I bounce back I get a raise
They tried to tell us to hold the line
But I’ve been over that, I’m helpin’ overtime (Yeah)
I know you noticed it ain’t no decline (Yeah)
It’s so wild, but I tone it down
Ayy, can’t invest, yeah, my brain a mess
Ayy, Lord knows everyday I rest
Uh, even then I gotta strive
To keep the end goal in my eyes, yeah
Ayy, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Stay off, I ain’t finna stay off (Stay off)
Lay off, I ain’t tryna lay off (Lay off)
Pay off, I know it’ll pay off (Pay off)
Tell ’em we ain’t takin’ no days off (Yeah)

[Chorus]
Days off, takin’ no days off (Woo)
Boys think I’m long gone, way off (Way off)
Days off, no days off (Yeah, yeah)
You can tell ’em we ain’t takin’ no days off

[Post-Chorus]
Stay off, I ain’t finna stay off (Stay off)
Lay off, I ain’t tryna lay off (Lay off)
Pay off, I know it’ll pay off (Pay off)
Tell ’em we ain’t takin’ no days off
