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.
For Your Glory, Pt. 1 by Trip Lee Reach Records’ Trip Lee celebrates over 20 years with the high-profile label by embarking on a new adventure and creative lane revolving around his musical inner genius. Several seasons of life in the making, BRAG WORSHIP takes final form with Trip’s latest EP release. The music is accessible regardless of generation or background. Trip’s creative spin on worship hymns and songs activates a rebirth of sorts. His personal take on worship music is culturally attentive with its audience and God’s teachings from biblical text. In other words, music for the people, by the people to present to our all-deserving Lord and Savior.
For Your Glory, Pt. 1 gathers some of the strongest and most passionate voices together to bridge hip-hop and worship collectively. Joining Trip during this first installment is Naomi Raine, Madison Ryann Ward, DOE, Jonathan Traylor, and Leah Smith. Trip based the project directly out of Colossians 3:16 where the Word speaks of “sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.” Believers are called to return our own gratitude, appreciation, love and respect back to our Lord in song.
Favorites include “Draw My Eyes” featuring DOE, “For Your Glory,” and “Fortress” featuring Naomi Raine. What I loved and appreciated the most is the featured artists selected saw Trip’s same creative visions for these tracks and interpreted such beautifully and above even Trip’s own capabilities. I bet some of us had forgotten just how beautifully Trip can not only spit bars but sing harmoniously too.

Datin feat. Bizzle and V.Rose - "A Chance On Love" God Over Money and Menace Movement’s Datin drops his third and final single leading up to his latest album release titled NEW ARK slated for a February 27 release date. Themed around spousal love, Datin invites label mate Bizzle and Indie West Music’s V.Rose to the celebration. The track was produced by Dax Hamma. Proverbs 18:22 takes on a fresh meaning with the content contains as each of the three artists share their own emotional perspective on love.
The “gritty” version of Datin remains a lyrical heavyweight, however, I appreciate his range and diversity to be able to slow things down and pay homage to those important around us. Stream “A Chance On Love” on Spotify and Apple Music.
Aable - "can i trust you?" RIPE Creatives and Philly’s own Aable enters 2026 with a fresh pen and new perspective. His latest creation “can i trust you?” is a question we all ask either internally or vocally to those we see as influencers of our mind and soul. Pastors. Music artists. The more of our idols and role models falter, make mistakes, and become “dethroned,” the more our trust in such influencers fades. At times, we become cynical due to all the crazy and wild events, news, and situations occurring practically daily around us. However, Aable brings it full circle reminding us our trust should solely rest in God and His promises which have never failed. Also, Aable’s level of wordplay goes unmatched (as usual). 2026 appears to be a possible breakout year for the young artist poised to rise above all others with a bible in hand. Stream “can i trust you?” on Spotify and Apple Music.
