For King + Country and Lecrae - 2024

Multi-Platinum and four-time GRAMMY® Award-winning duo For King + Country (brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone) dropped their single and music video for their new re-imagined cover of “To Hell with The Devil (RISE)” feat. Lecrae and Stryper today.

“To Hell with The Devil (RISE)” feat. Lecrae & Stryper is the latest track from the duo’s forthcoming The Inspired By Soundtrack album for their family biopic film, “Unsung Hero,” which comes out April 26. The film stars Joel Smallbone; he also co-wrote the film, and it is his directorial debut.

“What a cover this is, and a bit of an outrageous one at that!  One of our earliest memories is sitting in front of a record player holding a vinyl 45 of  Stryper’s “The Yellow & Black Attack” cover,” say the Smallbones.

“This song was a fun one to reinvent and think through as a duo — and Lecrae, performing what we believe is one of his greatest raps yet; coupled with Michael Sweet reinventing his iconic guitar solo at the end. We even added a new section to the song, talking about rising out of ‘darkness into light’… We hope this one brings a bit of new energy to your listening endeavors.”

The Inspired By Soundtrack will also include recently released singles “Place In This World” feat. Michael W. Smith, “Checking In” with Lee Brice, and “Crazy,” featuring the Smallbones and GRAMMY® Award-winner (and sister) Rebecca St. James. Additionally, the band’s version of “Lead Me On” feat. Amy Grant; a soundtrack version of the title track of the film, “Unsung Hero,” from their current Grammy®-nominated and AMA, Billboard and Dove award-winning album, What Are We Waiting For?, and much more will be on the new collection of inspired songs.
