Explaining the album title, Kenya drew an analogy of his album title to the Highlife and Hiplife and music genre.
For him, while there was nothing high or hip about Highlife and Hiplife, the Bible enjoins Christians to live like Jesus Christ and thus his choice of title.
Lord Kenya further disclosed that gospel rap album is going to praise God and highlight His goodness to mankind.
After his explanation, Lord Kenya set out to perform a live band version of Christ Life, the title song, in the church auditorium.
