It’s like Captain Marvel versus Rogue or Chun-Li versus Cammy. Maybe it’s even like Charlotte Flair vs Sasha Banks. There are a few times in history where two ladies have went toe to toe in a way that elevated the game and put their male counterparts on notice. Such was the case when 4EVA crossed pens with Pristavia at the Overflow Battle Rap League groundbreaking event “Confirmation: Valor” that went down this past January. This was the first time two women have battled in the history of the young league. I wondered how the ladies would fair on a card […]
City Takers is a well-known ministry in Atlanta, GA. Fulfilling the mission to love a city, draw a city, and build a city through various outreaches. Pastor Scott Free seeks to raise up urban missionaries who transform cities through hip hop, love, and Jesus. A story known by very few is that when Hulvey was six years old, he and his parents while living in Elijay GA, would drive down to Atlanta to serve with Scott and his missions team, even before City Takers was established. Fast forward 14 years later, before Hulvey moves to Atlanta, his parents suggest he […]
The Social Club Misfits tour came to Atlanta and believe me when I tell you it was lit. Reach Records artist Hulvey opened the show and did songs from his ep’s Prelude and BRKNHRT. Tommy Royale kept the energy going with a super exciting set. Social Club closed the night and completely shut it down doing various songs including everything from “Pizza Party” all the way up to “Everytime.” Marty also mentioned that some of the songs they were doing had never been performed live before. Check out these pics from the show.
The Family Ties Tour featuring nobigdyl., Canon, Steven Malcolm, Kurtis Hoppie, and King Chav made its stop in Atlanta, Ga last night. Co-Heir Collective opened up the show with a high energy performance. Kurtis Hoppie kept the vibes going and the host of the night, DJ Mykael V kept the crowd engaged. King Chav performed songs from his newly released project The Leftovers. Steven Malcolm performed “Fuego” and other songs from his album The Second City. In the middle of his set, he offered a heartfelt prayer for Juice Wrld’s family and friends in light of the artist passing away […]
Uzuhan, Phil J., Kurtis Hoppie & Swaizy all performed at the Light Work event at A3C. It was great to see these underrated artists kill it for a big audience. Swaizy made it on the bill last minute after winning the Critique Friday session. It was great to see these highly underrated artists in the same spot. Our photographer for the week, Barry E. Daly took some of these amazing photos.
The unexpected passing of Christian rap legend Mr. Solo of the Gospel Gangstaz has rocked the CHH community. It has also rocked his family and what better way for the community to celebrate a life together than supporting those left behind. A bereavement fund was set up for the family of Mr. Solo by ThirdDae Da Mouthpiece. Official statement from Mr. Solo’s family. pic.twitter.com/RFm0iRd8qJ — The Gospel Gangstaz (@GospelGangstaz) May 26, 2020 “Praise the lord this fundraiser was authorized by Mr.Solo’s mother Ms.Rosemary and sisters DaShon and Shawanda. We are all saddened by the abrupt passing of Mr. Solo. All […]
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 […]
Oh snididap! Tell ya aunty to hold on to her prayer cap! The Godzilla vs King Kong of Gospel music is going down this Sunday, March 31st at 5 PM. Captain Kirk Franklin will step into Verzuz ring to take on Fabulous Fred Hammond in the first-ever Healing Verzuz hosted by the one and only Bishop T.D. Jakes! So get ready! Get Ready! Get ready for an experience of praise and worship that will help ease our troubled souls. Last month we witnessed Pastors John P. Kee and Hezekiah Walker celebrated their classic catalogs in a Verzuz battle that brought […]
Truly creative people are just different. They have the ability to compartmentalize their art into many different facets. We’ve seen our fair share of actor turned musicians, musician turned actors, designers becoming producers, and so on. Then you think of someone like Donald Glover/Childish Gambino – a standup comedian, writer, actor, director, producer, singer, rapper, and a pretty good dancer too. Entertainment embodies his soul. In the Christian hip hop space, we don’t really have anyone that has done multiple huge things successfully. There has been plenty of dabbling though. Lecrae has done acting and is creating content with his […]
Datin dropped a music video for “Back In The Ring” featuring former WWE superstar M. Tarver. The song is from the GOM rapper’s CHH Ain’t Dead Vol. 1. Watch Datin Below:
“I’m tired of seeing dead bodies that look like me,” tweeted Derek Minor last night. “Tired” was the sentiment I heard from many black brothers and sisters throughout the day after a horrific video depicting the death of George Floyd was released. The footage showed a police officer kneeling on the neck of this unarmed black man. His crime – allegedly using forged documents at a deli. His sentence – death. *I’m only going to apologize for one thing in this article and that’s for breaking the wall of journalism and giving you MY opinion. I strongly dislike inserting my […]
