Eric Cohen - On The Edge (Choir Version)
Eric Cohen does not stop with the surprises much like his latest release- On The Edge- Choir Version. If you thought he peaked at Live in Christ, you are severely mistaken. The man is most definitely hard-working and is peppered with more than the average amount of talent. He keeps churning out song after song that has real depth at every nook and cranny. This track in particular comes with a huge amount of technique folded in. Of course, this track exists in the intersection of rap, choir and church. While all this sounds like elements from his previous songs, he has still managed to experiment with an already rich track. This track fits perfectly for Edwin from Beef. When I tell you that Ali Wong is a genius behind those glasses, I mean it and this serious stands testament to that. Eric’s track comes in the same category. I am excited to see which direction of experimentation Eric Cohen will take next. It’s interesting to see an artist branching out and growing from their previous style.

Eric Cohen - Hold Together
The rise of Eric Cohen from adversity to artistic acclaim is nothing short of inspiring. This Missouri-based rapper’s journey from poverty and addiction to faith and purpose is the foundation of his alternative hip-hop style. He brings together devotional storytelling with raw and evocative storytelling. Known for his lyrical depth and spiritual conviction, Cohen has crafted a message of hope that resonates across his audience. With Hold Together, he delivers a track that’s equal parts meditative and galvanizing, solidifying his place as a powerful voice in Christian and alternative hip-hop. Hold Together opens with a hauntingly minimal backing, creating a space where Cohen’s poetry can truly shine. His flow is deliberate, almost conversational, as he weaves a dialogue that questions the listener’s sense of self and purpose. The production—layered with ambient guitar and a consistent synth percussion bassline—complements his introspective lyrics, amplifying the track’s ethereal quality. It’s not just music; it feels like a moment of private reflection. Lyrically, Cohen balances vulnerability with strength, vulnerability with his words, and strength with his delivery. He questions life’s complexities while offering faith as an anchor. His ability to blend devotional themes with the edge of alternative hip-hop creates a sound that’s both unconventional and profoundly moving. The track would be a divine delight if it were to be added into The Two Popes. The film and the song are truly a match made in heaven. Eric Cohen is a man with a story to tell, and he does so with authenticity and talent that shines through every line, making this track a standout in both the devotional Christian and hip-hop genres.
