Louder Than The Music

Suriname-born Christian hip-hop artist Mr.D.Tunes will drop his new single, 'Nine Lives,' on June 15, 2025. Inspired by nine brushes with death, the track flips the familiar “nine lives” cliché into a bold testimony that he has only one life - and it belongs entirely to God. Packed with razor-sharp wordplay (he famously turns “Benadryl” into “Been a Drill”), the song urges listeners to treasure every breath on earth while anchoring their hope in Christ and the promise of eternity.

In “Nine Lives,” Mr.D.Tunes relives each near-death moment with gratitude and grit, reminding us that we have only one God-given life. His punch-line “Been a Drill” flips the antihistamine “Benadryl” into a metaphor: running to Christ is now second nature - a daily drill - while he stays “allergic” to the cat-like bravado of people who act as if they have nine lives. Every scare that once threatened him now sharpens, rather than dulls, his faith.

Hailing from Suriname, Mr.D.Tunes first discovered his songwriting gift in school, releasing a debut anti-bullying CD that paired hard-hitting beats with a message of love and respect. He battles tumors daily while crafting infectious, gospel-driven anthems that inspire hope and resilience.
