Musical Retirement

After a short but promising career in the music industry, Lary Over announced his retirement as a singer. In his own words, he stated that he was “sorry for singing secular music” because he “found Jesus,” which represented a spiritual change for Raymond. His new spiritual facet was at odds with the artistic life he had led up until then, with the lyrics of his songs and the effects that, in Lary Over’s opinion, his music can have on young people.
