“Our agenda is to spread the love of Christ, and we see it being spread and we’re seeing people who would never even seek his face have an experience.” Kanye West and his weekly Sunday Service have been garnering huge amounts of attention. Add the arrival of Jesus is King album and people can only speculate at what’s transpiring in his life. Rapzilla had the chance to speak to the Sunday Service music director Phil Cornish. He opens up about what goes behind the Sunday Service, Kanye West, and the validity of the gospel being represented in the sessions. What in your […]

Triple O last spoke to Rapzilla in 2015. Since then, the MOBO Award Winning artist has released his sophomore album Zero Not Equal To One and been nominated for yet another MOBO for Best Gospel Act.

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 […]
