Back in the summer, Rapzilla posted an article about the state of Christian Rap from a 2019 Elevation Conference panel. Derek Minor, Spechouse, and Chad Horton discussed that the genre needs fewer artists and more music businessmen and women. In the panel, however, the state of Christian Rap producers never came up.

For Spec, this almost became a reality, but God intervened in a major way. Released on Christmas Eve, “Bach’s Jesu, A Christmas Epic” by […]

“Your heart is working overtime. I give it four or five months tops.” Hearing words like that from a doctor is more than jarring, it’s nearly coma-inducing. A wave of emotion, regret, fear, and panic swells through the body and yet, on the outside, the lights are off. “Knock knock brain, are you there? We have to process this.” This is the true reality of Justin aka @TexasSRoundUp after receiving this diagnosis from his doctor.
