The album is titled “Living Water” and it continues the new gospel music trend of combining the sound of Rap & Hip Hop with traditional gospel music. This combination helps provide music and messages to youth who are attracted to the mix of R&B, Hip Hop, and Rap. Instead of sometimes negative messages that are found in a lot of mainstream music this new generation of gospel puts positive prayer, messages, and advice to popular beats and rhythms.

While some frown on this break from traditional gospel music many more have embraced and shown their support by contributing to record sales of gospel artists. Famous rap artists have been able to collaborate with gospel sensations in order to create gospel music for a new generation. “Living Water” has successfully incorporated the popular hip-hop sound into positive gospel messages successfully combining praise with entertainment. This new sound has helped attract today’s youth by appealing to their taste in mainstream music with popular beats while exposing them to lyrics that have uplifting messages designed to help the youth exceed in today’s society.

By mixing the positive gospel messages of community, respect, and love with music enjoyed by Rap and Hip Hop fans new gospel artists are able to teach and spread an inspirational message. Major radio stations and several Internet stations have been celebrating this new gospel style by incorporating gospel music into popular line ups. In the past gospel music was regulated to early Sunday mornings but now, in many major cities, gospel music is played along side top charting Pop, Rap, R&B, and Hip Hop artists. Keith Jeffries’ debut album continues the new gospel tradition by showing today’s youth, and even many adults, how to have fun while showing love and faith in God.
