When the beat dropped on Chris Sandoe's new single, "Steph Curry (All Glory)", I wasn't sure I had clicked on the right link. His Blueface meets Meek Mills-ish style instrumental creates an out of the box delivery of a genre that sometimes gets overlooked by true hip hop heads for cutting corners. But Sandoe's new Christian hip-hop song is solid. It has a classic feel and flow which allows you to focus on the track's profound lyrics and positive message while bumping to a hard beat. I likey a lot.

Chris Sandoe, is an artist and producer, born and raised in Southern California. His love for music first began back in junior high. This love eventually led to his first performance at a rally held at his high school. Professionally, his career in the music industry has been going strong for over a decade. He has produced music for artists such as Daz Dillinger of Tha Dogg Pound, Kokane, Coniyak of Doggy's Angels and many other established acts. His music has also been used on worldwide syndicated stations such as VH1, he has received radio airplay on FM stations Wild 96.1 and Q 104.7, and he also performed live on Juice TV, a program featured on the TBN Network. After going through a divorce in 2008, Chris Sandoe decided it was time for a change. During his hiatus from music, Sandoe decided to refocus his talents and gifts to God by beginning work in the Christian music industry.
"Pound on my chest, put a finger to the sky, right... Its all glory to the most high"
He has performed at a large number of churches and local venues within Southern California. He has been able to impact young lives with a message of hope by sharing his music and testimony at a number of Juvenile Halls within the greater Los Angeles area. He has also worked with the notable artists Alex Faith, Dre Murray, Eshon Burgundy, Dream Junkies and many others. Sandoe has also worked with Producer Daniel Steele, who's credits include Andy Mineo and J Givens. As of now, Sandoe will have released 3 Christian projects; an EP called Homecoming, an album called Beautiful Battlefield, and his newest EP called The Left Side: So Cal Vibes.
Along with finding renewed purpose for his musical gifts, he found love again; the rapper is now remarried with four beautiful children. Life hasn't always been easy for Sandoe, but through it all he prevailed and his music's message will inspire others to seek guidance and strength from a higher power. In these uncertain times, hearing how Chris is "feeling like Steph from the free throw line" and celebrating his victories rather than dwelling in the fear of the unknown is a message we can all vibe with.
