NF and nobigdyl.
NF and nobigdyl. were included in Genius’ top 50 albums of the year and that’s not just hip-hop, that’s ALL music. NF released The Search while dyl. dropped his much talked about LOWERCASE TAPE. Genius also offered valuable insight into why they choose them and didn’t instead relegate them to just “Christian artists.”
CHH & Anime
We recently posted an article about CHH and their love for anime and anime references in music and artwork. We highlighted artists such as Big Yae, Jarry Manna, TheKnuBlack, Parris Chariz, and more. It’s definitely an interesting read and we know that there are tons more examples not included in the article. Check it out!
Jered Sanders
God Over Money’s Jered Sanders is returning to his roots a little bit. In 2016 he dropped his phenomenal mixtape Hope is Dope through Rapzilla, the same year he was named a Freshmen. Now, in 2020, we are getting Hope is Dope 2, and the artwork is Street Fighter style. Everything about this project so far screams excellence and Sanders is one of the best spitters in the whole genre.

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 […]

Canon and his new track “Evil” contains the righteous anger and passion of an entire race. Here’s what he had to say in his own words: “I pray that this song shows that racism is evil. What we are seeing today is the fruit of that evil that has been allowed to grow in our society through the many injustices that people of color have faced, both public and private. Even if you were previously unaware of your racial biases and discriminatory tendencies, it is still evil. I hope that this song will demonstrate that what some policemen have been […]
It has been a while since I have published anything on here and I would love to commit to writing more regularly — but I won’t promise anything just yet. Since my first published article Dear White People, This Is Why I Speak On Racism is making the rounds again, I figured I may as well add to my Dear White People collection. So let’s get straight to it. The current events surrounding the state-sanctioned police murder of George Floyd has sparked recent protests and riots around the nation. The demonstration of outrage within the Black community is not because […]

Xavier Sorrow, who was born and raised in Arizona took some time to sit down and share about being a Christian rap fanboy as well as future things on the horizon for his budding CHH career. Xavier has a unique sound that he’s constantly working on, but beyond that, it’s evident to me that he’s someone who really cares about pouring into others through his passions. I feel so privileged to have this conversation with you today. I know it’s been a strange year for us all, but if you can think back that far, what was it like for […]
