JUSTCALLMEDT released his new track “Gambling” for free download. “This song was birthed out of the raw emotion, pain, and anxiety that I and other black men battle on a daily basis knowing that there is a possibility that we may be the victim of racial profiling, police brutality, or racially fueled murder all because of the color of our skin. Leaving home has literally become a GAMBLE of life and death. Even with this harsh reality, I refuse to be paralyzed by fear, I put my trust and my life in God’s hands. (Isaiah 41:10-11)” Listen to JUSTCALLMEDT Below: […]
A few months back it was revealed that Lecrae left his major label Columbia Records after just two projects. His next project Restoration would be once again calling Reach Records it’s home. One of the key reasons Lecrae left in the first place was he became too big for his label. There were too many resources required for him as an artist to be fair to everyone else. When he signed with Columbia, the Reach team was able to distribute their resources better. However, one of the downsides of being on a major label is Lecrae couldn’t “move” when he wanted to […]
With the latest highly publicized killings of Black citizens at the hands of law enforcement, leaders have emerged seeking both justice and restoration. Two of these leaders, Kanye West and Lecrae, elected to use their platforms as hip-hop artists, addressing their pain with one of the most unifying forces of all, music. But Crae and Ye also identify as Christians. Thus their feelings are filtered through a biblical worldview that recognizes the pain of present circumstances but professes hope in a better tomorrow. On their most recent releases, “Deep End” and “Wash Us In The Blood,” the two rappers present […]

In the Nigerian Christian hip-hop scene, a number of rap artists have come to identify themselves with a new sound, a different kind of music that is way different from hip-hop, this genre they call Afro Gospel. The ‘Afro Gospel’ sound originated from Afrobeat(s) which is a mix of the African sound and this a lot of time is credited to iconic musician/activist Fela Anikulapo Kuti. After his demise, new age artists have gone ahead in remaking the sound to blend to their style hence we have Afrobeats. Afro Gospel sounds so very good as many Christan artists have started […]
A word just as popular as prayer is “Intercession.” YP aka Young Paul and Jered Sanders dropped the bars. They are vivid and at times gruesome, delivered in a way as if they’re interceding for the listener. “In this song, we highlight the destruction that comes with rebelling against the truth. The moral of the story is this…the path to destruction is wide and many enter through it. So interceding is how we fight back in this spiritual battle of good vs evil.” Listen to YP aka Young Paul Below:

Sitting across from Nashville rapper Mogli the Iceburg at Knoxville’s famous Kbrew, we met together for coffee and conversation. Specifically, my aim was to interview him about his faith and personal relationship with God. He was visiting town already for the weekend to visit his family and shoot a new music video, so the timing was perfect.

I wanted to get to know Jacob Horenburg, the one who struggles, hurts, and aches like the rest […]
