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.
Datin and Mission - "DIRECT" God Over Money/Menace Movement’s Datin links up with AOYNOM’s Mission for a lyrical onslaught based off the Great Commission, Matthew 28:16-20. Both emcees politely remind CHH lyricists what their priority should be - reaching souls for Christ Jesus and adding numbers to the Kingdom. Both Datin and Mission provide a bar-heavy onslaught of truth calling every Christian to action, regardless of their platform.
“Direct” was produced by West Coast hit-maker Dav D Beats. The track is a statement urging listeners to stand strong and reach those individuals in need of Jesus the most. Whether it’s the hoods of L.A., the trenches of the South, or the projects up East; the daily struggles are shared. The message of hope is universal and has the potential to transcend every region, race, and culture. Stream “Direct” on Spotify and Apple Music.
Braille - "Bargain" Oregon-based rapper, producer, and songwriter Braille releases his second single from a forth coming project titled, Handcrafted Raps. This project was fully produced by the up-and-coming boom-bap specialist creative known as 1995. Recently, he’s known for partnering with DJ Mykael V for the two BODEGA! mixtapes. Braille is most known for his solo work in the mid to late 2000’s as well as being connected to the group called Beautiful Eulogy.
The current single focuses on playful wordplay throughout showcasing Braille’s love for the artform known as hip-hop. One of the beautiful aspects of the art form is how words can be picked apart in quite an artistic verbal or written display. Since the English language seems to have multiple meanings and definitions for thousands of words, the possibilities truly are endless. Stream “Bargain” on Spotify and Apple Music.
Kham x CRFT feat. Q-Flo and Phil J. - "Diamonds"
Culture Villains’ artist Kham returns after over a year music hiatus attributing to the fact (in his words), “life has just been LIFIN’!” To define a tad deeper, he’s been a part of an internal refinement process which has produced divine growth. Regardless of the immense amount of pressure Kham has faced during a 539-day time frame, beauty has been the product hence the name of the current single. “Diamonds” was co-produced by CRFT and Kham himself. Phil J. is featured on the hook while Q-Flo drops a memorable verse aside Kham’s own contributions.
For us old heads, some may hear a touch of Onyx (“Slam”). Regardless, a pre-summer anthem has dropped for all listeners to enjoy; especially those vibrant horns! Stream “Diamonds” on Spotify and Apple Music.
