KJ-52 is not only a veteran in Christian rap music, but he’s also a pro in taking care of his body. After nearly 30 years on the road and crafting rhymes, he’s now sculpting his body. “Sitting all day is killing America. We weren’t meant to be hunched over,” KJ explained. “We were meant for long slow walking with occasional bursts of sprints and strength movements.” We asked KJ-52 for 3 Fitness/Exercise Tips and 3 Health Tips. Here’s what he said: *Note: KJ is not a doctor or physical fitness coach. What works for him, may not be best or work […]
Two different times Andy Mineo had to push back the release date for Neverland 2. In a video on Instagram, he explains he had to cut a song with Lecrae from the album. The song in question was “Been About It.” Lecrae references things in the song that need clearance from the original song owners. One of those people is legendary producer Rick Rubin. The problem, Rubin is in Italy vacationing. The problems don’t end there. Mineo has already ordered 1000s of copies of the album that are now useless. He and Lecrae need to rerecord the song and reshoot the music video […]
Last year, we hosted Marty from Social Club Misfits on Community During Chaos. During the conversation, he talked about his financial contributions during the pandemic. After George Floyd’s death, many of the businesses’ buildings and products in the area were destroyed due to riots. This put many businesses in financial jeopardy. To help, Marty donated all the merch profit he made from his album Marty For President 2. “So all the money I made from the merch went straight to [a charity]. It’s called something like Vista Street. 100% of the money goes to person and business in that area who […]

R-Swift is an O.G. in Christian rap as he started dropping music in the early 2000s. 2021 he’s not slowing down and has a project called GLDN dropping November 19th. “New Day” and “Real Ones Winning” have already been released as single, and there will probably be one single dropped before this record comes.

He was pitted against KB’s “10K,” Steven Malcolm’s “Glory on Me,” Social Club Misfits’ “Is that Okay?,” and Hulvey’s “Reasons.” Watch Lecrae Below:
It was one thing to hear Trip Lee and his song “You Got It” on the Reach Records summer playlist, but now to see him is different. The video, shot by Dust Brand Films, shows Lee back like he never left. He’s put through a series of conventional hip-hop tropes of a fancy whip, drugs, drip, and even an interrogation scene with Lecrae. The director of the music video within the video appears to be Krum of Deepspace5 and Ill Harmonics. If it’s not, it sure looks like him. So hopefully, Trip Lee has more music coming as hinted by […]
