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 Tuesday.
Propaganda released his first project since 2019 with Terraform the People and oh wow, does it pack quite a punch in a short sample size. It features memorable guest spots from, Swoope, and V. Rose, but Swoope’s verse is a standout of the whole project! Rumor has it that Prop may be making an appearance on Pen Game 101. We’ll see!
So on Easter Sunday Justin Bieber did his best Kanye West impersonation by dropping a gospel/worship EP called Freedom. The project features Christian artists Beam, Brandon Burke, and Tori Kelly. Bieber has always been an outspoken Christian but under the public has had his ups and downs like most people. One of the tracks, “We’re in This Together” contains some swearing, so here’s a warning. Bieber is a work in progress, but this is definitely a nice thing to see and hear. Keep him in your prayers.
We dropped an article about the CHH artists whose songs are going viral on TikTok and whose original videos are also gaining momentum. Some of the names featured are Wande, Paul Russell, Caleb Gordon, and a few more!
We dropped our third installment of Social Justice in CHH which takes a dive through the lyrics of tracks to pick apart socially relevant things. This article focuses on Propaganda, KB, and Lecrae as they talk about the physical image of Jesus.
In something a little different, I spoke to Luke Smallbone, one half of For King & Country. They recently released the “Amen Remix” featuring Lecrae. So I picked is brain on what he thinks about CHH and working with artists in the genre. He actually appreciates the honesty that can be found in CHH that maybe doesn’t resonate in other forms of Christian music. Watch that on YouTube.

Despite how you feel about Kanye West and Christian music going together, his acclaimed album Donda swept every Christian category at the Billboard Music Awards. The categories he won were Top Christian Artist, Top Gospel Artist, Top Christian Album, Top Gospel Album, Top Christian Song, and Top Gospel Song. Something else Kanye did was launch his Donda Christian Academy school. He hinted at it last year with pictures of children in a uniform. The school’s mission statement is: “To be a reflection of God’s glory in the world.” Children will worship in Sunday service, sports will focus on teamwork but also […]

Back in March Trip Lee released his long-awaited album The End. One of the key tracks for the project was “Right Out the Gate.” Yesterday, legendary Hot 97 radio host and personality Ebro posted about Trip being on his Apple Music Playlist. The post came accompanied by a video of Trip Lee. The post was most likely an ad, but nevertheless, it’s a cool look for the Reach Records artist. It also exposes Christian rap to Ebro’s mostly non-Christian audience. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Reach Records (@reachrecords) See Trip Lee Below: Today’s Discovered on […]
