Each week, dozens of singles and a handful of projects are released in the Christian Hip-Hop (CHH) and Urban Soul spaces. Below, we have listed a few highlights and included the rest for your review. As always, follow our New Christian Rap and Hip-Hop playlist on Spotify and Apple Music to listen to all the latest.
Q-Flo - "Heaven" Fire For God Music presents Philly's own Q-Flo drops his latest single to close out 2025. “Heaven” represents a hip-hop showstopper rooted in East Coast grit. The Philadelphia emcee steps into his most ambitious sound yet, sharing conviction and a message that calls all of us to do better. The bass-heavy, synth-driven beat brings a larger-than-life feel, giving Q-Flo the perfect backdrop to close the year with authority.
The gritty boroughs of CHH are some of my favorite examples of faith-driven hip-hop. The delivery is raw, authentic, drenched in boom-bap nostalgia, and the outreach component towards lost souls is priceless. In all honesty, this may be my most prized gem from him all year. Stream “Heaven” on Spotify and Apple Music.
Braille and YP aka Young Paul - "Helium" RMG Amplify and Gospel Banquet’s Braille and YP aka Young Paul drop the second single from their forth coming album titled, Sober Minded. The project is set to drop in January 2026. “Helium” is a reflective, soul-searching track that explores the tension between ambition and humility. Over a smooth but gritty boom-bap vibe, the two gritty emcees focus on the vile temptation to chase fame and self-glory, reminding listeners not to “get too high” on their own success. The song floats between vulnerability and conviction — a meditation on pride, purpose, and dependence on God. Braille produced this single and the entire project. Stream “Helium” on Spotify and Apple Music.
B. Cooper feat. SIV - "Peace" RMG Amplify’s B. Cooper makes a triumphant return with his first single released in over a two-year period. The press released received from Doc Watson and the incredible team at RMG/RMG Amplify describes the song as a testimony of gratitude and growth — a reflection on unexpected blessings, faith, and the peace that comes from surrendering to God’s plan.
The track paints a picture of real-life maturity: settling down, raising a family, and learning that true success isn't measured by shortcuts or earthly gains, but by purpose and peace. The verses look back on chasing dreams, wrestling with fear, and realizing that fulfillment comes not from striving alone but from trusting God through every season. There’s humility in learning to slow down, to go low so your children can rise higher, and to keep walking forward even when the waves rise.
At its core, the song celebrates a peace that surpasses understanding — a divine calm that replaces fear, anchors the home, and turns storms into clear skies. It’s worship, testimony, and life-reflection blended into one, giving thanks for God's steady presence and the quiet, powerful peace that carries us through everything. Stream “Peace” on Spotify and Apple Music.
