According to Christian Post who spoke with the rapper, he stated that the chart is not something to brag about.
"I don't look at it that way, I think it's phenomenal to make music that challenges people to think on morality, spirituality and the betterment of society. Many people do that. Some sing country or jazz - I rap. At the end of the day I'm not here to hold up the banner of a genre. I am here to hold up the banner of Truth. It's way bigger than genres and charts. I'm fighting to be a voice in culture. A voice in a dark world."
"All I Need Is You" got to number one spot on the iTunes' Hip-Hop/Rap song chart shortly after its release on Tuesday.
