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.
We’ve got even more details on Lecrae’s book. The full title is: I Am Restored: How I Lost My Religion but Found My Faith, and it’s set to release October 13, 2020.
“My forthcoming album, Restoration, chronicles the process of healing, and my book, I Am Restored, is about the journey toward healing,” said Lecrae. “My prayer is that I Am Restored will inspire readers to embrace the freedom and healing they need and to escape the despair, anxiety, doubt, and fear so many of us battle.”
UK CHH artist Guvna B just announced his new album – Everywhere + Nowhere and the subsequent UK tour surrounding it. If you like what you heard from his collaboration with Andy Mineo, then this is the album to give a try. How many of our followers are in the UK? Drop a comment!
2019 was a pretty quiet year for Zauntee musically but now he’s back with a double single in 2020. He dropped “Go Off” and “All in the Moment” and looks to establish the fire he had where he left off. How many Zauntee zealots are still in the house?
If you don’t know Aklesso, you sleep. He’s one of the most energetic and talented young rappers in CHH. The few times I’ve been around him, he’s one of the most generous people I’ve ever met. He can ball too! With that being said, he dropped his very long-awaited music video and song for “Wodie.” It features him and a bunch of cameos. Watch until the end to see who drops by.

We spoke to one of the pioneers of Christian Rap – Michael Peace, at the Mic Drop premiere in Tulsa, OKC. After explaining how he performed for free throughout his career. He was asked about campaigning for social issues in an era where people said “just give me Jesus in my music.” Peace provided an example of his ministry working with inner-city kids at schools. He had just given a performance and a message at a public school in Detroit. In his set, he didn’t mention scripture or Jesus specifically, but he essentially unfolded the whole gospel message in front […]
We had the privilege of speaking to the first Christian rap artist of note, Stephen Wiley at the Mic Drop event in Tulsa, OKC. In fact, the interview was in his office, and Tulsa was the birthplace of his ministry. The question was, “What would you want your legacy to be?” “The Word of God,” Wiley responded without a second of hesitation. “I try to put as much scripture [in music]…I want them to remember me for putting the Word of god first.” The next question was a joke, “You come face to face with Kurtis Blow, what’s the first […]
Cross Movement is/was one of the most influential and important groups in Christian rap history. For many artists in the faith, they were the blueprint. Phanatik was one of the key members of the group and a scholar of the faith. In a video posted on his personal Facebook page, Brady Goodwin explained how he entered the deconstruction of his faith and ultimately stopped believing. The video runs for 24-minutes, and it is telling that this is quite difficult for him to do. He labors through and hardly says he no longer believes in the faith. In the video, he […]
