Bizzle and Monster Tarver - "Already Know" God Over Money’s founder, Bizzle, joins forces with labelmate and former WWE wrestler Monster Tarver for another certified banger. “Already Know” blends aggressive trap energy with bold, faith-driven messaging. Sharp bars tagged with a confident delivery from each artist brought forth a competitive edge while the hook anchors the single in an identity through Christ Jesus. The track bridges raw hip-hop culture with spiritual purpose – unapologetic, intense and rooted in the purest of light. Stream “Already Know” on Spotify and Apple Music.
ALL MY FANS BECAME RAPPERS by Fern x Robo2k Half of the Social Club Misfits’ duo, Fern isn’t playing games in 2026. This will be his third project released In 2026 – two (THE PROPER TAPE and ALL MY FANS BECAME RAPPERS) produced by the iconic Robo2k and the other produced by the legendary Marchesi (I CAME IN GOD’S NAME). ALL FANS BECAME RAPPERS is top-tier Fern. Descriptive bars, timeless flows, and lyricism from a bleeding heart – compassionate rhyme slayer is aging better than the finest of wines. Vintage sounds from Robo2k provide ample soundscapes for Fernsvocal tone and spitfire cadences. Breaking down barriers and exposing strongholds, this release is scaled a step above and ready to compete with the best emcees out there. Stream ALL FANS BECAME RAPPERS on Spotify here.
Zauntee - "LIGHT ON ME" Floridian artist Zauntee finally releases the long-awaited single “LIGHT ON ME” and his first new music of 2026. “LIGHT ON ME” is a raw worship-centric track focused on vulnerability, divine guidance, and finding purpose through brokenness. The track seamlessly blends faith-soaked hip-hop with a melodic “Sunday service” vibe.
The central lyric, "a light shines better when the vessel is broken," emphasizes that personal hardships, fractures, and failures do not hide God's light—they reveal it. Pain is framed as a pathway to purpose. Zauntee openly references mental battles and inner conflict, singing about the "voices in my head just keep tryna rewind" past mistakes, contrasting human weakness with divine forgiveness. The song relies heavily on a repetitive, anthemic chorus, “Keep your light on me”, serving as a continuous prayer for direction and covering. Stream “LIGHT ON ME” on Spotify and Apple Music.
