DESCRIPTION:

According to the song’s author, Jeremiah Bonds, “‘Stop Defending Me’ is sort-of a, ‘Cry out to God…’ Turning our feeble minds upward and asking, ‘Like, why are You still in my corner? I’ve messed up over and over, yet You continue to show me Grace!” Originally inspired by a set of poems featured in Confessions Conversations: Study & Reflection Journal (Haley Montgomery), Bonds turned them into a song about lamenting our human guilt and unworthiness—yet knowing Who ultimately makes us worthy.

KEY SELLING POINTS

  • Last LP project S7AVE (2021) tracks "VANITY" and "TRENDING" have garnered millions of streams through Bonds' efforts in securing promotional and sync placements with GRAMMYs, Google, and Google Pixel 3 ads
  • Bonds was originally signed to his local area's Christian hip hop label Syntax Records after burgeoning a relationship with founders Tim and Steve Trudeau as a mere fan, which eventually led to his official signing in the early 2000s
  • Known for his youthful charm mixed with age-old skill, Bonds has enjoyed a decade-plus career on both sides of the stage as an emcee and social media influencer
