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.
Fresh off the release of the YK Osiris-assisted “Set Me Free,” the first single from Restoration, it seems Lecrae’s ninth solo studio album is just around the corner. Through teasing for over four months, Lecrae has given us details about the highly anticipated album. Here is as much info as can be found on the album. Release Date The release date for Restoration has changed drastically over the last four months. First off, in an interview with CBN News, Lecrae shared it dropping “before the end of 2019 or early 2020.” On the report of the Atlanta Hawks NBA website, […]
I was riding in a car with my former youth pastor a little under a decade ago. A song came on the radio – noticeably Lecrae. As the chorus began to play, I began to think, “Wow, this sounds just like Andy Mineo.” I looked a the back of the CD case (yeah…dinosaur-era stuff). The song was “Background” by Lecrae feat. C-Lite. C-Lite? Who is that? That was such an innocent question I asked it out loud. My youth pastor laughed and told me it was Andy Mineo. He then revealed to me that Andy Mineo was in fact formerly […]
I’ve been really drawn to the underground scene in hip hop for over 20 years. I feel like I always find artists that are so dope and not enough people have heard about them who really need to. I thought it’d be cool to share with you each month a few artists that I’ve been listening to. That’s really the goal of music for me, and sharing new music for me always means people potentially unlocking something new within themselves that they wouldn’t have known before. Every artist has a different perspective, different gifting, different sound. That’s what makes music […]
As the album title denotes, Justin Bieber has been going through changes in his life. “Justin Bieber: Seasons,” a YouTube Original documentary series, follows the young artist’s timeline from after the release of Purpose (Deluxe) to before the drop of Changes, detailing the events that took place in-between. Episode Five, “The Dark Season,” dives deep into Justin’s dirty, grimy drug addiction problem. As he explains, “I felt like I was dying. My security was coming into the room at night to check my pulse. People don’t know how serious it got. It was legit scary crazy. I was waking up […]

“Glory” by Diomer is all about self-reflection and redemption. “I’ve realized that even if I accomplish the dreams I’m chasing after, such as becoming a full-time artist and glorifying Jesus through it, that reality in and of itself won’t solve all my problems. I have some baggage from my past that I’m still learning how to surrender and let God restore me from, but regardless I can rejoice now, knowing that one day all Christ-followers and I will be fully restored and live with God in heaven forever.” Diomer teamed up with Los Angeles-based producer Brad Rame to bring his […]
