For many artists, music is more than melody—it’s a message. And with Plan of Perfection, producer and songwriter DLK, founder of the DLK Urban Gospel & Christian Hip Hop brand, delivers a powerful reminder: even when life feels uncertain, there’s a greater plan at work. Blending rich musical textures with spiritual truth, Plan of Perfection is not just another song. Rather, it’s a heartfelt testimony wrapped in harmony, saxophone, and soul.
The Journey That Sparked the Song
The inspiration for Plan of Perfection came during a season of personal reflection and decision-making. “I was going through life’s journey and didn’t have all the answers,” DLK shares. “There were a lot of pivotal decisions I had to make. I didn’t see the path clearly, but I came to understand that even in uncertainty, God had a plan—and that plan was to perfect me.”
Those who’ve followed DLK’s production career know this level of transparency is deeply rooted in his musical foundation. Growing up with the timeless sounds of gospel legends like The Winans, Commissioned, John P. Kee, The Clark Sisters, and Vanessa Bell Armstrong, DLK learned early on how powerful music could be when it mirrors the soul’s journey.
A Song That Needed the Right Voices
Once the direction of the song began to unfold, DLK knew it deserved something special—something nostalgic and deeply personal. He recalled a vivid memory from his teenage years: a stunning concert at church where three women performed the James Cleveland classic, We Are Sharing.
“That concert stuck with me for years,” he says. “So when it came time to record Plan of Perfection, I thought of those same women.” He reached out and connected with two of the original vocalists—Dr. Cynthia Owens K. Brown, and Sylvia Lavern Randolph—both of whom brought their signature vocal warmth and anointing to the song.
How Strings and Sax Brought It All Together
Like many DLK productions, the arrangement evolved as the song took shape. Initially, there were no plans to include saxophone or strings. But once the vocals were recorded, DLK’s producer instincts kicked in. “I realized the music needed to open up—it needed a fuller emotional range,” he explains. “Adding strings and sax wasn’t in the original plan, but once I heard the potential, it became essential.”
The result? A soundscape that bridges contemporary gospel aesthetics with classical and jazz textures, delivering a fresh yet familiar feel. This is perfectly in sync with the DLK Urban Gospel & Christian Hip Hop sound.
Navigating the Real-World Challenges
Creating such an emotionally rich track doesn’t come without hurdles. DLK is not just a music producer—he’s also a dedicated entrepreneur, family man, and the driving force behind multiple music brands. “Time is always a challenge,” he admits. “Life happens. At one point, a year passed before I could get back to the project.”
That time away didn’t dilute the vision—it refined it. As the track matured, DLK even decided to change the key to better suit the vocal delivery, resulting in some parts being re-recorded. “That’s just part of the process,” he laughs. “I always say, perfection takes time—and sometimes, that time is part of the plan.”
A Perfect Fit for the DLK Urban Gospel Vision
At its core, Plan of Perfection is the embodiment of the DLK Urban Gospel & Christian Hip Hop mission: to uplift, inspire, and bring listeners closer to their purpose through faith-centered music. This is a brand that isn’t afraid to blend genres, push boundaries, and deliver music that resonates with believers navigating real life.
“This track is all about encouraging a deeper connection to the Creator,” DLK says. “It’s about trusting that no matter how chaotic things get, God is still crafting something beautiful in you.”
What Listeners Can Expect
More than just a feel-good song, Plan of Perfection is a reminder that God’s timing and process are always purposeful. DLK hopes listeners feel comforted and inspired. “If this song helps someone move forward, trust God more deeply, or just breathe for a moment, then it’s done its job,” he says.
He points to the wonders of nature—how everything works together in harmony—as proof of divine design. “God’s plan is visible in every leaf, every season. We just have to believe that we’re part of that same design.”
A Producer with Range—and a Vision
While Plan of Perfection falls under DLK Urban Gospel & Christian Hip Hop, DLK is no stranger to other genres. With five music brands under his belt—including DLK Soulful EDM, DLK Lounge, DLK Soul, and DLK Praise & Worship—his work spans gospel, hip hop, EDM, R&B, and beyond. Each brand has its own flavor, but all are tied together by a single mission: to make music that matters.
“This song represents my faith journey, but also my production journey,” he reflects. “It’s one of those tracks where I let inspiration lead—and I think that’s why it feels so honest.”
