Do you know about Oble Reed? Well, if not, you need to. Besa Gordon recently caught up with Seattle artist Oble Reed, where they talked about how he grew up listening to contemporary Christian music and his first experience with hip-hop, which was when his dad brought home one of Lecrae’s CDs and instantly became a fan. They also talked about why he doesn’t cuss in his music, what he learned from his most recent tour, what he would say if he could speak to himself ten years from now, and more.

If there's an artist on the rise you should be on the lookout for, Besa says it’s going to be Oble Reed. If you haven’t grabbed his album Lindenave, listen to it and see him perform live on February 3rd at Barboza. This Segment initially aired on #Back2Besa via FOX 13 Seattle.
