Rapper Dee-1 Defends Deion Sanders, Challenges Jason Whitlock to Show Christian Grace | Ep 628

Jason welcomes Dee-1 to “Fearless” for a special one-on-one interview. The man formerly known as David Augustine sits down to share the story of his journey from the hood of New Orleans to the halls of Harvard. Dee outlines the path that turned him away from the trappings that led to the deaths of his close friends to become one of the biggest voices in Christian rap. No stranger to public beef with the likes of hip-hop stars like Rick Ross and Meek Mill, Dee-1 has some advice and challenges Whitlock over his very public and very outspoken criticism of Colorado football coach Deion Sanders. Plus, Dee-1 shares his insights on the rap industry and its dangers and addresses those critical of his collaborations with some of rap’s most secular artists. This episode is an exercise in respectful, thoughtful debate — iron sharpening iron.
