Indiana, USA – What if God’s grace is even more scandalous than we think? What if the mercy of Christ is so vast that it unsettles those who try to measure their righteousness against others? Christian hip-hop artists Joseph Madigan and Steven Perez confront these powerful questions in their new single, "Paid," releasing February 28, 2025—a song that shakes the foundations of self-righteousness and legalism, pointing back to the only thing that saves us: the blood of Jesus. Inspired by the radical grace of the Gospel, "Paid" challenges the mindset that some sins are “worse” than others, exposing how people often cringe at certain failures while excusing their own. But in the eyes of Christ, every believer stands redeemed—not by works, not by reputation, but by His sacrifice alone. ________________________________________
