Reconcile, aka Ronnie Lillard, is a rap artist based in Miami, FL. While trying to make sense of a rough childhood and young adult life, the harsh realities he inherited kept him hostage: depleted resources, constant trauma, family dysfunction, incarceration, violence, drugs and firearms. South Florida raised him. But encouraged by a deep passion for his people and love of music, he eventually began using rap to craft a message for his generation.
Encouraged by a deep passion for his people and love of music, he eventually began using rap to craft a message for his generation. Reconcile’s words champion the forgotten and serve as the rhythm hidden in the pulse of those getting by on hope. One soul at a time. Reconcile states, “As I began seeking a real relationship with the Lord, my life changed and the value of everything else in my life began to decrease as my desire and passion to know Jesus intimately and follow him grew. The gospel of Christ brought perspective and hope out of the pain I had endured. I wanted to go and tell people about the one who has redeemed me, I wanted to share this hope with those who are from broken homes, trailer parks, and the projects…that Jesus can save them too.”
RECONCILE has charted #3 on iTunes Hip Hop and debuted on the Billboard charts, landing placement on the Top Rap Albums at No. 20. Reconcile’s latest EP CATCHING BODIES debuted #30 on the Billboard Christian charts. The Miami native not only challenges our views on faith and race in America but he also is an advocate for juvenile justice and serves on the Miami Circuit Advisory Board in attempts to curve juvenile recidivism and violence.
