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.

Aaron Cole - "peace at last"
Provident Label Group’s Aaron Cole returns with his first new music since September 2025. The latest single holds special meaning to Cole. His devout relationship with Christ defined the source of peace for his life and the life of others which fellowship with him. If your nervous system has been running on too many “open tabs” lately, Cole’s single is the digital weighted blanket you didn't know you needed. Moving away from the high-octane rap anthems that defined his early career, Cole leans heavily into a soulful, R&B-infused space that feels less like a performance and more like a long-overdue exhale.
 
The track is anchored by a buttery bassline and minimalist production that allows Cole’s vocal texture to take center stage. There’s a certain "golden hour" warmth to the mix—it’s the kind of song designed for a windows-down drive when you’re finally heading home after a chaotic day. He balances his spiritual convictions with a grounded, human perspective. He isn’t preaching from a mountaintop; he’s sitting in the passenger seat, admitting that the road to mental clarity is often under construction. It’s refreshing to hear an artist of his caliber prioritize vulnerability over bravado. Stream “peace at last” on 
Spotify and Apple Music.



350 x 1995 - "VI. BRING A LIGHT"
Reflection Music Group (RMG) and Searching for Soulace’s 350 linked up with the iconic boom-bap master producer 1995 for a certified hit. The track emits an energetic, hard-hitting, boom-bap feel blending gritty realism with conviction. Over sample-driven production, 350 reflects on survival, loyalty, faith, and pressure while balancing street lessons with spiritual resolve. Unapologetic and rooted in legacy, the single explains how to keep pushing forward regardless of if the odds don’t shift and remain not in one’s favor. Pay attention, as 1995 isn’t just a phenomenal producer, the man has spitfire bars too. Stream “BRING A LIGHT” on Spotify and Apple Music.


Limoblaze feat. Jackie Hill Perry and Princeton South - "WAY"
Reach Records’ Limoblaze has laid the foundation of innovation in the Christian space rising worldwide transversing between afrobeats, worship, and more recently the roots of hip-hop. The singles released in 2026 will become part of the Solid Ground EP set for March 27 focused on Limoblaze’s musical and creative roots. Fellow labelmate Jackie Hill Perry indulges in the second verse while Oneskript’s Princeton South’s handles the harmonious afrobeat-driven hook delivery. It’s an overall “feel good” type of vibe. Stream “WAY” on Spotify and Apple Music.
