Chicago-based Christian hip-hop artist Aasha Marie releases her newest single “Nobody Greater,” a genre-blending, inspirational track that celebrates the saving power of Jesus Christ. The song was written, vocally arranged, and executive produced by Aasha Marie, with musical arrangements and production by Runtrell Skinner and Terrance Holmes. The track features Grammy-nominated artist and former NBC The Voice Season 18 contestant D. Lylez, as well as background artists Grandy Wilson, Kristen Lowe, and Ashley Washington, from the highly popular Sunday Service Choir group.
The accompanying music video for “Nobody Greater” was shot and edited by Lakeshorehy, a film company based in Chicago. The video was filmed in a church on the west side of the city. It is inspired by Colossians 1:15, a verse that speaks of Christ as being pre-existent and preeminent.
