Reach Records front man Lecrae is back with his third album. This one is entitled "Rebel". One thing that we know about Lecrae is that God has given him the ability to make great music. Music that will have you riding with your top down listening to some Jesus music. Or you will be bouncing, throwing your hands up, quoting you are a "F-A-N-A-T-I-C". Now as the Reach Records roster, ministry, and m...

Ladies and Gentlemen...it's the Chop Chop! That's right; Cross Movement's Ambassador is back with his 3rd solo album The Chop Chop: From Milk to Meat. After his two solid albums Christology in Laymen's Terms and The Thesis, I was definitely excited to check out this project. It kicks off with a straight banger in "The Opener" and continues to keep an upbeat tempo through the first part of the albu...

It's not always easy to release an album these days. Let alone a Gospel rap record. But when you challenge people the way Future does on Wake up Call, your future is as bright as the morning star, no pun intended. I mean on the real, it's so tight when God uses evangelists to shake us up. Here's what I mean. This project is set around the metaphor that we as Christians are comfortable in our beds,...

Have you ever felt like you were the only one speaking up for God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ? If so, then maybe, like R-Swift's second album, it almost feels like you're a soapbox revolutionary. Soapbox, Cross Movement Records artist R-Swift's latest project is set to drop on June 10, 2008, so I suggest you get in line now 'cause God's hand is on this one baby. Swift is so, soooooooo! It's har...

Aight so I'm chilling one day and LJ gives me the chance to review a new album. I get it and start to listen. Oh baby! Ya'll better get ready for Life on Life by J'son. This is the second album by this St. Louis artist whose ministry (Hid In Christ Ministries) is rooted deep in discipleship. Let me tell you, when you think of what the Gospel is, you have to respect the approach this rapper takes i...

Hands down this is one of the most innovative and electrifying albums in Holy Hip Hop history. If you are not a fan of the 116 Clique, then get on the bandwagon man. These cats from Reach Records will have you gettin' crunk and representin' Jesus, so throw it up! God definitely has his hands on these urban missionaries. Guiding their creative juices to fuse the message of Jesus delivered through c...

It was back in 2005 that the lowercase emcee, shai linne, gave us his debut album titled The Solus Christus Project that was aimed at letting the listener know that it is through Christ alone that we receive such a great salvation. It is now some years later and his album is still in constant rotation, but now he's offering up some new heat, the first of supposedly two releases this year. Again, a...

J.R.: "Ok everybody, huddle up. Aight, Soul I want you to run a post route. R&B, you do a deep end. Hip Hop and Pop, both of you run the deep corners. If you all bust it out on this one, we're gonna score!"

The announcer calls the play: "J.R. is back to pass. He scrambles to the left. He scrambles to the right. He's under pressure. The ball is in the air and up for grabs in the end zone. All of...

Jesus Saves. This phrase is probably one of the most well-known proclamations in Christianity. It's up there with John 3:16 signs and the "WWJD?" bracelets. Despite its familiarity, HanSoul did a great job of reemphasizing the message. This double-disc album is focused on one theme: Jesus Saves. With this project, HanSoul is pushing to burn these 2 words into your brain. At the beginning of each t...

After spinning this CD a few times, I felt like I had a good look at Believin' Stephen. Even outside of his work as an MC, I somehow sense a connection to him because of this CD, which is a good thing. He uses a very straight forward style, spitting very frank and just straight up reality, which comes off very personal. On the What I Believe EP, Stephen throws out all of his beliefs on the table, ...
