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.

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 […]

Let’s pretend for a moment, that YOU, not a person of color, had the opportunity to sit down with […]

DJ Mykael V just released a music video for his new single “Doing the Most,” the first single from his upcoming not-yet-titled album. “The single features up and coming artists Bachi and Ray Benton.
