Christian Rap has come a long way since 2010. During that year, Derek Minor was still Pro, DJ Official was alive and well with Reach Records, and the Unashamed Movement was blossoming. While 2010 was a relatively quiet year for releases, there were a few notable ones. DJ Official – Entermission This is the only album the deceased DJ released. Official gathered the biggest upcoming names in CHH at the time with Lecrae, Flame, and Sho Baraka. RIP DJ Official. Notable Tracks: “Show Off,” Get Busy,” and “On My 116” Listen Here. PRo – Redemption Now known as Derek Minor, […]

Laila Mickelwait is a woman with a purpose. She is determined, relentless, prepared, and diligent with her goals. She is someone who doesn’t just think, she acts and executes. The most incredible part is this drive and work ethic isn’t for her personal gain – it’s for the gain of tens of thousands without a voice and ability to get it done themselves. *Warning sensitive material* Mickelwait has made it her life’s mission to fight against sex trafficking and the exploitation of women and young girls. One of the obstacles standing in the way of a path to justice is […]

Wande was making connections and making moves. She’s traveled down quite a long number of roads to get to this point. Each stop has been an exit to her life with a destination turning point. That is where part one of this two-part trip with Wande ended. She was interning with Rapzilla and her knowledge in the space helped her get noticed by Reach Records for an internship. This next move would be the biggest one of Wande’s life thus far – it’s time to take the Atlanta exit. The young artist in pursuit of some musical action was stuck […]

Last week we took a deep dive into Lecrae and his journey of restoration. The rapper opened up about his fight against the voices in his head, the self-doubt, and the loss of identity. The subject was definitely heavy and personal. While the goal of telling a proper story reflecting one’s art is to sometimes highlight the more intense and vulnerable moments, every conversation should also have a lighter tone as well. The following article is Lecrae expounding on his relationships with Kanye West and Rapsody, talking about the Unashamed tour and artists, and finally giving his thoughts about KB […]

Over the years we’ll make a series of stops along this journey we call life. Every time we veer off the road to hit a new destination, it’s an exit we make to start on a new path. As the scenario flashes before our eyes, sometimes we need to just pull over and soak in what’s really happening. For Wande, it’s her time to soak in the sights, and see how far she’s come. But before we get there, the story of how she got to this place is as remarkable as the one on where she’s headed. Wande Wande […]

Paul Hernandez on new single: After receiving much love from my previous singles “Access” which was placed on New Music Friday Christian and “Set a Fire,” I wanted to come back with another upbeat song that would incorporate my Latin background and showcase more of my production. “Mañana” is a combination of a phrase my dad always said when we needed to get important things done, as well as a declaration for all to break the habit of procrastination and – ‘not put off tomorrow what we can get done today’ and cherish the moments we’re given every day.
