PBJ Party 2009

On August 23, Andy Mineo released a musical-podcast hybrid called Work in Progress. The project is unlike any released by the artist before, compiling several unreleased tracks into a single release with a podcast series used to create additional conversation. Whereas Mineo’s earlier releases accounted for a single season, Work in Progress gives listeners a more complete display of Mineo’s artistic evolution. Whether it be the fear of aging, a celebration of marriage, or musical experimentation, the album is a thematic feast and might be Mineo’s most powerful project yet. Perhaps the most crucial element of Work in Progress is […]

NF recently sat down for a conversation with Ill Will at NME.com this week. Being someone who tends to be pretty vulnerable on the mic, NF found some space here in front of a camera to be real. Considering himself to be a quite negative person and preparing for the worst, NF says he finds it thrilling that he outsold Chance The Rapper’s debut album ‘The Big Day’ in the first week of sales with his new album The Search. Nate also shares how his perception changes the older he gets. He looks back on the song How Could You Leave Us […]

“How many faking they streams? (A lot)/ Getting they plays from machines? (A lot)” While we are on a high of A3C, Aaron Cole winning New Artist at the Dove Awards, and Lecrae and GAWVI winning awards as well, it’s time for a reality check. What would you do if I told you that the playlist you just paid X amount of dollars to be on was mostly made up of fake followers? What if your hard-earned cash that was supposed to put you in the earbuds of 50,000 followers was mostly just a bunch of bot followers? Would you […]

Natalie Grant)” by Steven Malcolm. See Lecrae and GAWVI Respond Below:   […]

Aaron Cole made history last night at the 2019 Dove Awards. The Gotee Records artist became the first person in Christian hip-hop to win New Artist of the Year. However, this feels problematic for three reasons. One, Cole is so much more than just a hip-hop artist, he’s an incredible singer. So the amendment here is that he’s within the CHH sphere but not limited to rapping. The second point, despite his age, Cole is no rookie. He’s been killing it in music for some time already. He released his official debut album Not by Chance while signed to a label, and […]

Joining The Pure Flix Podcast, Pastor Adam Tyson spoke about Kanye West and him becoming “radically saved.” “I was just under the weight of my sin and I was being convicted that I was running from God, and I knew I needed to make things right, so I came to Christ. I came out of darkness into the light,” West said according to Tyson. The two of them met through industry members of his church. One of the congregants was working with Kanye and invited him to church. Tyson was skeptical, but the rapper showed up three out of four […]
