Kirk Franklin occupies a rare position in the music firmament today.
He’s nominated for two Grammys in hip-hop categories, for his contributions to Kanye West’s “Ultralight Beam,” and he also just locked down the highest honor in gospel music for “Losing My Religion,” a searing meditation on maintaining faith amid the travails of modern society.
Franklin’s win for gospel album was widely expected, but it still heralded a high point in career devoted to placing the sacred into secular culture.
But I want to focus on the wardrobe that was chosen for his performance with Chance The Rapper. Check out the pics below. A lot of people have been sounding off on the ensemble chosen for that performance. Any thoughts?
