116 – Come Alive ft. KB, Tedashii, Derek Minor, Andy Mineo, Lecrae & Trip Lee

So on this Easter Sunday, as I prepared to watch the live stream of Sunday Service by Kanye West at Coachella, I waited with excitement because I had seen the previous clips on the internet and I wondered how they would execute it on such a big stage. I also had previously seen Kanye live during the Late Registration Tour and the Yeezus tour, both being some of my favorite all time concerts, so I knew the caliber of his showmanship. As I watched, I noticed some issues throughout the set with sound. Teyana Taylor at one point had her […]

Derek Minor doesn’t care anymore. He’s a man that is perfectly in focus and feels the tug of God on his purpose. He doesn’t care about what you think of him. He doesn’t care about receiving any awards, accolades, or recognition, and he doesn’t care about the industry’s politics. Derek Minor only cares about YOU. Derek and I are sitting in the makeshift greenroom of Church City USA in Jamaica Queens, NY. The church sits in the middle of hip-hop’s hollowed grounds and is pastored by Christian Rap NY legend Richie Righteous. Fellow RMG labelmate Canon is in the room […]

King Allico chopped it up with Redeemed Entertainment about his career away from God Over Money and trusting God. Watch King Allico Below: God has challenged Allico to trust him in his artist career. The first part was stepping away from GOM, essentially decreasing his progression as an artist. Then God told him to delete his social media pages. “I didn’t quite understand it, but I knew it was God.” Through it all, God used Allico’s obedience to show He is with him through all things and to keep relying on Him. Check out Allico’s album GOD Is With Us here.

Right after his split from Hip-Hop duo Vital Signs, Crown Freedom dropped a single titled “Got God on My Side And What” featuring Meg Latham. The record speaks of God’s faithfulness to his children over a house-style beat. Listen to Crown Freedom Below: don’t use soundcloud link

For fans of Christian rap, several names come to mind when considering the hottest current artists at the forefront of the genre. After all, with names like Lecrae and NF, Christian Rap is no longer the rebellious form of Urban worship that it once was. There was once a time in the early stages of CHH when churches not only shunned the art form but downright thought it was evil. With little support from the secular world and even less support in the church, Christian Hip Hop could have easily been a quick fad that never took root, but thanks […]

After a one hour long discussion with Derek Minor about his The Trap album, we took another hour to dive into some heavy questions. The Trap and the conversation about it, unveiled the hardships of a disenfranchised African American community as they struggle to Fly High Above The Trap by Any Means. Coming into this interview, I found another opportunity. Let’s have an honest and nuanced conversation about race. Yes, not an original idea, but let’s do something a little different. Let’s pretend for a moment, that YOU, not a person of color, had the opportunity to sit down with […]
