Atlanta based hip-hop/alternative Christian artist Sherrod White is set release his new EP, FRSH X STRT, on January 29th. Preceding the album is the new single "Made It" featuring Hillary Hand.

Sherrod White explained the following about his new project, "With FRSH X STRT the goal is to introduce to those who are unfamiliar with me as well as re-introduce myself to the folks that have been rocking with me from day one to my current sound, new musical direction. Besides a few singles here and there, I haven't released any type of body of work since 2012 and a lot has changed in that time span. I wanted to give the people this project before the full length album comes out, which will be released later this year."

"The central theme of this project is that we don't have to wait until some significant date, new year or event to happen, to provoke change, be impactful or even strive for greatness. Each new day God graces us to see is truly a fresh start. Even though this is a short project, it's still personal and speaks to the heart of people."

Sherrod White is a writer, producer, and artist born in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Heavily influenced by all genres of music at a early age from the likes of Michael Jackson, John Coltrane, Stevie Wonder, Tupac, and Dr. Dre. Growing up in a broken home while living back and forth between his mom and dad, Sherrod would often escape the day to day struggles of life by writing poetry, short stories, as well as lyrics, all to which he contributes to helping develop and perfect his craft musically. He became accustomed to adapting to new environments and people as he frequently moved do to his dad serving in the military. While staying with his father, he grew up in a heavily disciplined household as sports and writing were the primary ways that Sherrod White expressed the inner turmoil that grew inside him do to the death of his younger brother, grandfather, and older brother as well as the split between his father and mother.

With his new found christian faith in tact, he now says his primary aim is to challenge as well influence those whom he encounters.
