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.
Our writer Josh did a breakdown of the differences between Gospel Rap and Christian Rap. Many people think they are the same thing, but from an artist/ministry standpoint it’s not the same thing. It’s different than the same old worn-out argument of Christian rapper vs rapper who’s Christian because both Gospel & Christian rappers can operate in the same space while someone who “happens to rap” is trying to be out of it. I know, this sounds a bit confusing but I’d encourage you to check out the article on Rapzilla to see the full break down.
Luc DiMarzio did his monthly installment of 4 Christian Rappers You May Not Have Heard yet. Every month he drops a small list of people who caught his attention. This month it’s Relena-Rochelle, Jay Sanon, Namedtobias., and Lamar Riddick. Go check out the article to learn a little more about them and hear their music.
Similar to that list, our writer from across the pond, Ben, is compiling a monthly list of top Christian rap songs from out in the UK. A few of the names include Still Shadey, Presha J, and Triple O.
Music Videos
Last week was loaded with music video drops too. We had “Willy” by nobigdyl. and Andy Mineo. Hulvey and Torey D’Shaun’s video for “I’m Different” dropped. Wande’s video for “Come My Way” released. And finally, we saw 1K Phew release the video for “Rocket.”
CDC
Finally, on Community During Chaos, we continued the conversation with YP aka Young Paul, CJ King, and Emcee Nice and spoke about how we can do better in our communities.

Retired NFL player Benjamin Watson went from the gridiron to the silver screen in just over a year’s time. However, rather than becoming an action start like so many former athletes do, he has chosen to tell the important story of life – those who have yet to live it. Watson produced and hosted a documentary called Divided Hearts of America. The film, directed by Chad Bonham, took a dive into what is really happening behind the scenes with abortions and the Pro-Life vs Pro-Choice movement. The concept isn’t new but most platforms that tackle this subject weigh heavily onto […]
This last year was nothing short of turbulent. After the murder of George Floyd, the African American community found their plight and trauma on full display for all to see. The Black Lives Matter movement had taken the country by storm and people who never considered viewing things from a black perspective watched the outcome of racial injustice that went unchecked. Now a year after the death of Sean Reed and Ahmaud Arbery, we at Rapzilla haven’t stopped listening and applying pressure. The following are a few songs from our African and African American staff that emphasize their Black experience. […]
The ESV of Isaiah 44:22 reads, “I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you.” Often believers exclaim phrases like, “God can save anyone! Come as you are! Or the big one, “You’re never too far gone for God.” Has it ever felt like the truth though? I mean think about it, we are a very flawed people. So flawed in fact, that our creator had to send a perfect sacrifice in order to clear our names and allow us eternal life. Still though, amidst biblical evidence […]
Last year, we had Datin on Community During Chaos. During the conversation, Datin reminded the audience to keep their eyes on the end goal as Christians amidst all the current adversity. In his words, obstacles will always come and go. Christians especially, will face hardships in general and personally. Despite it all, however, while addressing issues is needed, the ultimate goal is to focus on Jesus’ second coming and paving the way for this coming. He then brought up 2 Corinthians chapter 11, where Paul listed what hardships he has gone through for Christ. “I’m sure he faced racism. I’m sure he […]
