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 […]
“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 […]
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.

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 […]

Christian rap artist, Vine Style Records owner, and Assembly of God senior pastor, Phil The Voice drops a powerful song to heighten awareness of boys caught in the trap of human trafficking.

Mike Myz dropped “Fake News” featuring Torey D’Shaun.
