New Christian hip-hop artist Charlezin Charjj made history today when it was confirmed that his debut record,
Songs About God, became the first CHH project to offend absolutely no one.
"I can't believe it," Charlezin said after receiving the official
"No Offense / None Taken" designation from the Gospel Music Association. "I didn't even know it was possible not to offend people anymore."
The album that came closest to this designation was KJ-52's 2002 release,
Collaborations, but fell short due to a mother in suburban Phoenix complaining to her local radio station that "the kid sounds like that Eminem guy."
When asked how he was able to attain the perfect rating, Charlezin Charjj said that while he believes it was a miraculous perfect storm, he thinks having five lyrics per song, acoustic guitar backing tracks, eight-minute saxophone solos, spoken word directly from Psalm 23, and only 3 total songs on his album helped, too.
"In an age where the Reach Records crew is a little too lippy, the Social Club guys are a little too caffeinated and the rest of the people are so angsty, I'm proud to be a torch-bearer for people who just want to listen to rap music without thinking," Charlzin said. "I'll keep doing what I'm doing."
