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.
Sho Baraka
The Christian Rap veteran is back with his first song of 2021! Not only does Sho Baraka drop continuous bars on the music video for “Healthcare” featuring Bri Feels, but teases us.
At the end of the video, the following text appears: “Midnight Is Coming Soon.” Could this be an album, an EP, or some type of branding? We’ll have to wait and see.
Swoope
Fans of Swoope have been waiting for a new full project since 2018’s Sonshine. In 2019 he released an EP Two For One. Well now, 24 has arrived.
The project features Derek Minor, Aha Gazelle, Natalie Lauren, and a few others.
Also, our resident reviewer Luc DiMarzio did a Bar Exam and took notes through his first listen of the project.
GAWVI
During the latest Pen Game 101 episode on Noche Juvenil, GAWVI teased he wants to drop another album this year! Although GAWVI said he is not sure when it will be finished, his desire is to release it sometime this fall.
Heathen is one of the best album releases in 2019. We’ll see if this sequel can hold up to its predecessor.
