Tyree Morris & Hearts of Worship

Gospel time.
The beginning of the most popular song on Spotify ("Spirit on Me") sounds exactly like some old NWA spoof song - synths and drummer - before the backup singers kick in and it is obviously a gospel song.  There is no video I can find for that track, so here is the second most popular song, called "Happy"
Not sure what is up with his glasses, bowtie, and t-shirt, but maybe that's just his thing.  Gospel isn't my thing, but the groove in that song is something you can't deny.  Almost 2,000 views on YouTube and less than 1k listens on Spotify, so there isn't a huge following out there for this group yet.  But they sound great to me.  Well, I could do without him telling me to get my swag on. But otherwise, okey doke.

The group is from Denver, and according to the website, they are touring the country melding "Gospel, Hip-Hop, R&B, Retro-Funk, Jazz and nuances of Neo-Soul into an electrifying performance that is engaging, uninhibited and life-giving."  Keep on doing it, man.

Do you think he would have more spotify hits if the band was called "Tyree Morris & His Hot Balls of Worship"?

What about if "Tyree Morris' Hot Gospel Taint of Awesome"?

You, sir, are going to go to hell. But you'll be funny until you do.
