Alexander says, "Sports are often where timeless traditions meet contemporary expression. For my Rise & Grind album series, it's always been important that the music is a reflection of those characteristics. We seamlessly blend the classic instrumentation of horns and strings with modern hip-hop and trap drum programming. Sports can also be a metaphor for life, so this collection of songs is not limited to the athletic sphere, but agile enough to provide the soundtrack to various television, commercial, and social media spots."

He is celebrated for his work on Lecrae's Grammy® Award-winning hip-hop album "Gravity" and Andy Mineo's GMA-winning album "Neverland."
