Special: That’s A Rap!

If you are a CHH fan (Christian Hip-Hop) then this has been a wonderful week for you. Being in touch with youth, sometimes the question of what to listen to is raised. If ever we are faced with that question, here are a few suggestions:

Beautiful Eulogy – Instruments of Mercy

Lyrical acrobats, Braille and Odd Thomas, teamed up with producer Courtland Urbano to produce their sophmore album Instruments of Mercy. Fusing rap/spoken word with folk beats and harmonies, Beautiful Eulogy has developed their characteristic sound first heard on the album Satellite Kite. Click here to preview their single “The Size of Grace”.

 

 

 

Alex Faith – ATLast

The term “breath of fresh air” has been used to describe many stale albums released recently. But alas, Collision Records’ Alex Faith, releases his debut album ATLast. The story of Faith’s life and faith (no pun intended) as he grew up in Atlanta is unmistakably seen through his transparent lyrics and creative beats. A great example is his single Letting Me Go

 

 

Benjah – Haze & Reflections

Former Group 1 Crew member and Grammy-Nominated and Dove-Award winning songwriter and producer, Benjah, released his third album Haze & Reflections (Vanity Fare Remixed). It peaked at #10 on the iTunes Christian & Gospel Charts and features a stellar line up with Tedashii, Trip Lee, Propaganda, Json and many more.

 

 

Papa San – One Blood

Gospel reggae giant, Papa San returned to the studio to produce his latest album, One Blood. Known for his rapid lyrical flow, Papa San has honed his skills, his love for Dancehall and his love for God. This is not a hip-hop album. However, with features such as Lecrae and Da’ T.R.U.T.H. it should quality. Additionally, Papa San’s impact on the CHH arena is felt in his son, Tyshane Thompson, who has produced for established artists.

 

 

Lecrae – Church Clothes Vol. 2

Grammy-Award winning rapper, Lecrae, is “back on the scene, crispy and clean” with the sequel Church Clothes Vol 2. Presented by DJ Don Canon, Lecrae brings together his two loves – Hip-hop and the gospel – with the aim of reaching the culture with the message of Christ. CC2 is set to be released tomorrow but the single “Was It Worth It” featuring Derek Minor and Crystal Nicole is available.

The past 7 days have been epic for hip-hop lovers as ugly faces abound. I wouldn’t be alarmed if I see some folks spazzing out.
