Each week, dozens of singles and a handful of projects are released in the Christian Hip-Hop (CHH) and Urban Soul spaces. Below, we listen to a few highlights and list the rest for your own discovery. As always, follow our New Christian Rap & Hip Hop playlist on Spotify and Apple Music to listen to all the latest.
Canon - "LOADED UP"
Reflection Music Group’s (RMG) Canon releases his first solo single of 2024. Previously, he’s had two drops with label forerunner Derek Minor (“Stand By Me” and “Long Time Coming”). Canon and Minor have begun a new fan community titled, “Vigilantes” this year. “Loaded Up” is an intense single about inner courage, strength, and the soul-driven fight to overcome any obstacles. The track’s raw and emotional theme focuses on our renewal and rebirth left behind from scars left by hardship. However, progressive healing is the result from the endured process. Canon shares a bit of real life, a bit of his testimony and how God has helped him endure it all. Stream “Loaded Up” on Spotify and Apple Music.
K-Drama - "Windows"
CHH veteran and Playwright Music's K-Drama has steadily worked in 2024 dropping his twelfth single. This is his second NFL-themed single focused on the Cincinnati Bengals. 2022's "Who Dey" has gathered over 25,000 streams on Spotify. The 2024-2025 NFL regular season begins tonight (September 5) hence K-Drama celebrating his home team. The synthesizer-smothered track serves as an energetic anthem for Bengals fans everywhere. Stream "Windows" on Spotify and Apple Music.
Fern (of Social Club Misfits) - "BREATHE EASY"
TEN Piece Records and Social Club Misfits’ Fern drops his first single after his SHIESTY EP released in July. Mixed, mastered and produced by Andrew Prim, “Breathe Easy” rekindles the essence of hip-hop. Boom-bap driven beats and lyricism with excellence in mind. Fern’s current mindset revolves around an era of vintage “grown folks” music. Prim laid the audio groundwork through production gems for superior wordplay trinkling in a playful cadence. The subtle beat changes were beautifully done too. Stream “BREATHE EASY” on Spotify and Apple Music.
