This 10-track project is the third installment of Allen’s cinematic series, chronicling the story of fictional rap icon Lion Star. The EP expands on themes introduced in the I AM LION short film, offering a musical companion that delves deeper into trauma, faith, purpose, and healing in a world of fame and false identity.
“This project is a part of a larger journey in finding one's spiritual identity,” says Allen. “It’s for anyone who’s had to pivot, release control, and find God’s purpose in a redirection.”
Leadsingle “Astronomy” is a genre-bending Hip-Hop anthem that fuses the grit of Rock music with Soulful, cinematic lyricism. Over electric guitars and 808s, Allen paints a therapeutic journey of transformation, using cosmology as a metaphor for mental and spiritual healing. With imagery of a rocket ship ascending and shedding its layers, the song captures the process of release and renewal:
“I’m looking high, fires a blazing / I’m taking off, my soul been in awaiting / Shedding my layers, no more debating / Reaching the clouds, fear is decaying.”
Produced by Fconthebeat and Grammy Award-winner Alexander Hitchens, I AM LION continues CW Allen’s commitment to fusing cinematic storytelling with faith-driven Hip-Hop. I AM LION pushes beyond traditional Christian or Hip-Hop formats to create a unique narrative arc that resonates with themes of identity, resilience, and spiritual discovery.
