Welcome to our weekly episode of Rapzilla.com’s Top Christian Rap News Recap. We endeavor to grab the best stories from the previous week and give them to you every Monday.
Lecrae’s next album Restoration is coming in March of 2020. Shout out to the brothers at Crew hip-hop cornerfor the story. We can all thank the Atlanta Hawks for the leak as they posted about an upcoming performance in March and included the info.
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.
