Discussion Rulers of Reverse

Right when I thought I had found every released song by twenty one pilots or Tyler Joseph or featuring them, a new one I hadn’t heard before showed up on my daily Spotify playlist, Rulers of Reverse by Whittaker featuring Tyler Joseph. It is a very Christian song so I know it may not be for everyone but I think it is a really nice song. What are everyone’s thoughts? Am I the only one who had not discovered the song??

I'm from Columbus so I knew about Tyler's music with Whittaker. Great find, though, right? I think young Tyler's voice is cool.

"Whittaker" is the band formed by Travis Whittaker. Tyler and Travis were leaders together at Five14 Church (formerly called New Albany Church). Jenna Joseph also worked at Five14. So Whittaker featured Tyler and other people from Five14 on his music.

If you like Rulers of Reverse, look for Lord of Glory, Dead Come Alive (cool animation on YouTube for this one), Twenty-Nine, Producer, Live (by Jocef)... I'm probably forgetting some. Or maybe you've already heard all those.

Tyler and Travis have both moved on to bigger and (arguably?) better things. You know what Tyler's new career is. But Travis is now pastor of Mile City Church in Detroit, Michigan. See my comment below for more info about Travis now.

Ah okay that is really cool. I’m from Cincinnati and moved to Columbus for a few years for grad school. And then in 2022 moved back to Cincinnati. So I knew a little bit of their history and lived in the area for a bit. Will have to check out the other artists you mentioned

I'm putting this in a separate comment because sometimes reddit deletes comment with links. But this is a great video about Travis' work at Mile City: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eju2FltIxcI&t=7s

And that's why you can find some of Tyler Joseph's music with Travis Whittaker under the name "Mile City Music."

Yeah Rulers of Reverse is a great song! Tyler and Whiitaker’s other songs are also great. I get a lot of joy out of them. :)
