Hello amazing people and the beautiful people in this community. I welcome you all to the vibes Web3 Music competition week 36. I am favouragina this is my first participation in this competition and it's all about giving glory to the Biggest God ever🙌.
Music has always been more than sound to me it's been a sanctuary, a journal, a healing space. But when I freestyle over a song like “Altar” by Forrest Frank and Hulvey, something more sacred happens. It becomes an act of worship, a dialogue with God, and a mirror into who I am becoming and where I'm heading to. The beat itself light yet anointed, airy yet grounded feels like it was crafted in heaven and downloaded directly into Forrest’s spirit. Then you hear Hulvey’s voice raw, intentional, deep with purpose and you know the song isn't just meant to be heard. It’s meant to be lived and felt too.
Freestyling to “Altar” isn't about technical rhyme schemes or flashy punchlines for me. It's about surrender. It's about laying my heart bare like the track demands. When I press play and hear those first soulful chords, I close my eyes and I’m no longer in my room. I’m standing in front of an invisible altar, palms open, asking God to take whatever’s broken in me and replace it with His peace and let His way be my way for life.
What makes this song hit so hard is how it doesn’t shy away from the reality of needing God. Forrest sings with this vulnerability that just cuts through the noise: “Take me back to the altar.” That line alone feels like it was written for anyone who’s ever drifted, who’s ever felt far from grace but longed to return home. When I freestyle over it, those words echo through my verses like a backbone. I find myself rapping about things I didn't even know were on my heart, family struggles, doubts I never confessed, blessings I overlooked. The beat invites honesty. And in that honesty, healing.
Freestyling over “Altar” is like a therapy session with the Holy Spirit. I start with a simple flow, nothing too complicated. I said something like:
“Father Lord thank You for my life I'm going able,
Everywhere I take it every shots I'm going higher,
There is no need for me to fall out I'm going stronger,
Every demon now see the power of me running…”
And from there, it just flows. I don’t plan it. I don’t write it. I just let it pour. Every freestyle session over that song feels like a testimony unfolding in real time.
Forrest’s chorus feels like a prayer wrapped in melody. And Hulvey? Hulvey brings that soul-searching depth that inspires me to dig deeper with every bar. There’s a hunger in his voice is a hunger for truth, for purpose, for a relationship with God that’s real and not just ritual. When I listen to his verse and flow over it with my own, it’s like we’re having a conversation not just artist to listener, but spirit to spirit.
The more I freestyle to “Altar,” the more I realize I’m not doing it to impress anyone. I’m doing it to connect with God, with myself, with the purpose I believe I’ve been called to. Sometimes I cry mid-flow. Not because I’m sad, but because the words coming out of me reveal wounds I didn’t know were there and then they start healing. That’s the power of this song. That’s the power of turning music into a sacred space.
“Altar” doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful. It doesn’t need heavy bass or club drums to move your spirit. It speaks through simplicity and sincerity. The song creates room for peace, for pain, for reflection. And as someone who grew up balancing faith and personal struggles, freestyling over this beat gives me the freedom to wrestle with both without judgment.
I know how I start spitting about how lost I felt last year and beginning of this year too, or how music saved me, or how I’m trying to be a better person, a better son, a better believer. Sometimes I rap about things I can’t even say in prayer. But with this song in the background, it’s like God listens closer. Or maybe I listen closer to Him.
What’s wild is that every time I come back to “Altar,” I find new meaning in it. New ways to express old emotions. New truths about myself. And that’s what makes freestyling over it feel like more than just rapping. It’s an evolving conversation. It’s me placing my flaws, dreams, fears, and praises at God’s feet and saying, “Here I am. Do what You will.”
If you’ve ever tried to freestyle just to get something off your chest, you know that not all beats welcome vulnerability. But “Altar” does. It beckons you to come as you are. To bring your whole self, messy, unfiltered, authentic and just be.
Freestyling to “Altar” is how I worship. It’s how I reflect. It’s how I remember that no matter how far I drift, I can always return to the altar, the place where God meets me with grace, not guilt. I don’t need a pulpit or a platform. Just a beat, my voice, and a heart willing to be real. That’s where the magic happens.
And that’s what “Me Freestylin Altar” is all about. A journey back to the source. A lyrical offering. A sacred rhythm between pain and praise.
All praises to the Most High for His sufficient grace and strength in everyday, thank you so much for praising the Great Jahovah with me 🚀❤️
