Unpacking the Sound of Shai Linne and his New Single | Take a Listen to his Catalog Of Music

Shai Linne | Old Rugged | New Single

Christian rap OG Shai Linne dropped a new single last week titled “Old Rugged.” He also hinted that a third installment of his Lyrical Theology series is currently in the works.

Review: Dramatic sound with a high emphasis on Jesus dying on the cross and what he did for lost souls. A lyrical story of Jesus and his love for our sins. A big chorus describing how his salvation of Jesus but yet people don't want it.

[Hook: Shai Linne]

In a world that's increasingly cold-blooded

Salvation's here, most people don't want it

Infinitely more valuable than gold nuggets

Without further ado, it's the old rugged

Old rugged cross (x3)

Get your soul flooded, with the old rugged

The single “Old Rugged” serves as a reminder that Jesus remains the answer for these times, and that His salvation holds infinitely more value than anything this world can offer. Shai also teased that “Old Rugged” may or may not be a preview of a forthcoming album: Lyrical Theology 3—hopefully arriving in 2026.

Listeners who want to explore more of his music can revisit past standout singles like “Random Thoughts 4” and “Fal$e Teacher$,” which continue to resonate with fans for their bold, biblical clarity. These and more of his tracks are available for purchase on Apple Music.
