Big Redd is releasing an EP, “All Around the World.” On the song “Different Now,” Redd raps convincingly about his conversion to a life of faith. The beat, produced by Brandon Ransom, is buoyed by a thick bass line and jubilant horns. It sounds like the “Change Clothes”-era God MC, better known as Jay-Z. With Erica Cumbo and hosted by comedian Mike Goodwin. Jillian’s is at 800 Gervais St. Free, but parking is $5; (803) 479-8066 or bigredd.com
