The Dove Awards nominees were just announced and we thought of a few more albums that could’ve been nominated for Hip Hop/Rap Album of the Year… especially in place of Manafest’s rock album.
“You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” – James 4:4 ESV There is most definitely a line. So rather, we need to ask the question have we crossed the line? I’m sure some will say that this may be a controversial question. How can Christian hip-hop and gospel artists be loving and kind if they refuse to work with or associate with some secular artists, but yet choose to work with others? And why does it […]
Let me start by saying, I have been a big music fan for quite a long time. I’m what the younger generation considers to be an ‘old head’. A genX-er, semi-super fan of Christian rap, and lover of just about all forms of Christian/Gospel music. I’ve listened to and been a fan of artists like Grits, Gospel Gangstaz, TobyMac, Pettidee, T-Bone, KJ-52, Shai Linne, Canton Jones, K-Drama, S.O., and of course just about every single artist that came out of or was associated with Cross Movement Records. And over several years I’ve listened to CHH artists, like Lecrae, KB, the […]
We all know the stories of how the Christian Rap community feels the Dove Awards have represented them over the years. Just like the mainstream Grammy Awards, when hip-hop was rising to prevalence in the 80s, they just didn’t know what to do with it. Furthermore, the acceptance of Hip-Hop, especially by the church, would not come until years later. While CHH had been around in the mid-80s with pioneers such as Stephen Wiley, Michael Peace, S.F.C., P.I.D., D-Boy, and so on, they never got their shine. In fact, the first Rap Dove Award went to a song that just […]
As a musician and Worship Pastor in Las Vegas, I was beyond stoked for my wife and me to be invited to the Grammy Awards on April 3rd. My wife’s cousin is part of the recording industry and has been for decades. We were honored to join him and his wife and a couple of other friends for our day. What a lot of people don’t realize is that the whole experience is about nine hours of stuff for you to attend and be present for, with only around three hours of that stuff ending up on TV. It was […]
We were given some fresh information on WHATUPRG and his upcoming album New Hollywood. The following info is from a press release from his publicist that not only sheds more light on the single “KIDZ” but also on the full project. With his second album, New Hollywood, releasing shortly, WHATUPRG is emerging from the Christian music scene and onto the world stage. Through his new song and video, “KIDS,” he sends a message on the behalf of the unaccompanied migrant children being kept in cramped government detention facilities on the US southern border with Mexico at the time of the song’s recording. “I want them […]

Despite how you feel about Kanye West and Christian music going together, his acclaimed album Donda swept every Christian category at the Billboard Music Awards. The categories he won were Top Christian Artist, Top Gospel Artist, Top Christian Album, Top Gospel Album, Top Christian Song, and Top Gospel Song. Something else Kanye did was launch his Donda Christian Academy school. He hinted at it last year with pictures of children in a uniform. The school’s mission statement is: “To be a reflection of God’s glory in the world.” Children will worship in Sunday service, sports will focus on teamwork but also […]

Back in March Trip Lee released his long-awaited album The End. One of the key tracks for the project was “Right Out the Gate.” Yesterday, legendary Hot 97 radio host and personality Ebro posted about Trip being on his Apple Music Playlist. The post came accompanied by a video of Trip Lee. The post was most likely an ad, but nevertheless, it’s a cool look for the Reach Records artist. It also exposes Christian rap to Ebro’s mostly non-Christian audience. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Reach Records (@reachrecords) See Trip Lee Below: Today’s Discovered on […]
Kendrick Lamar will be dropping his loooong awaited project Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers on Friday.

Well today, we got one step closer with the artwork. See the Kendrick Lamar Pic Below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kendrick Lamar (@kendricklamar) The picture shows Kendrick wearing a crown of thorns and holding a child. There’s a gun in his back pocket. There also appears to be a nursing mother in the […]
