Andy Mineo, "Heroes for Sale" Album and The 2014 Rock and Worship Roadshow

 

The twenty-five year old, New York hip-hop Christian artist, released his first debut studio album, "Heroes for Sale" back in July and has continued to see praise over what was said to be the most anticipated album of 2013. "Heroes for Sale" is Mineo's first album produced by Reach Records, and one of many more to come. The album is said to be based off of the world's 'brokeness of human heroes' and that there is really one true hero, God. "We make heroes out of a lot of things. We make heroes out of people. We believe ourselves to be greater than we really are. We make ourselves look like heroes to other people. What I really wanted to do is show the brokenness of the heroes that we create and the heroes that we try to be in order to show that there is ultimately only one great hero", Mineo stated in Reach Records biography.

The very personal and quirky tone that Mineo pulls off in his hip-hop beats goes along way as he continues to inspire those who buy his album. The album is truly a piece of art that shows someone who has faced what the world is, and is trying to reveal it to his fans by his outstanding love for Jesus. In using hip-hop for his genre of choice, Mineo states that hip-hop is the up and coming language of the world, and is truly a way to completely express yourself in such a short amount of time. "It's so influential because you are able to say so much in a short period of time. The essence of hip hop is the boldness of it so you're able to be exactly who you are. You are able to say exactly what you want. You represent exactly what is deepest and dearest to you and people respond to that. They respond to that realness.". This January, Mineo will be featured as one of many artists that are performing on the "Rock and Worship Roadshow" tour that starts in 2014. Known as one of the most popular tours of the year, Andy Mineo will be alongside famous bands such as Skillet, The Neverclaim, Jamie Grace, Royal Tailor and much more.
