GENESIS 1:26 is an experimental Christian hip-hop record from Toronto-based artist, producer, and filmmaker E.M. Lourde. Blending Jersey Club rhythms, jazz textures, and introspective rap, the track explores the tension between creation, duality, and spiritual clarity. Built around the refrain, “Separate heaven from hell as I meditate,” the record reflects E.M. Lourde’s continued exploration of faith, self-discovery, and the human experience. Following the cinematic and introspective world of Smoke Signal, he brings that same thoughtful storytelling into an unexpected meeting point between the dancefloor and the divine, drawing from African and Caribbean musical influences. more
