In the current landscape of Christian hip-hop, few artists loom quite as large as rapper, poet, and political activist Propaganda. A Los Angeles native, “Prop” (as he’s called by those close to him) developed a passion for rap early on, then he added poetry to his repertoire as a college student after attending a friend’s spoken word performance. Now, with five albums, a poetry collection, and a host of performance recordings (available on YouTube) under his belt, his rise to prominence as on

In a town where twice as many Black people were arrested as white people, and even though he had dropped out of high school, Robert Chamber had no criminal history. Despite beating those odds, in 2011, Chambers wound up dead at the hands of Houston County police. With no witnesses, the officer who fatally shot Chambers claims he had burglarized a nearby home, stolen a gun and threatened a cop’s life. But much like the

"There's another thing the press seems to not get. A lot of African-Americans that I've talked to, most of them say that they 'feel this President has been treated unfairly.' They believe he has done every single thing in his power to try to create jobs, to try to make sure this economy moves forward....
He's gone against just fierce opposition. I think, I mean if you look at the evidence, that's true. He's accomplished a lot in the short time he's been President. But the fact is, it has not
