On June 16, NBA MVP Stephen Curry led the Golden State Warriors to their first NBA championship since 1975. Curry, who is one of Christian hip-hop’s most visible supporters, is the first point guard since Lakers legend Magic Johnson to win a regular season MVP award and NBA championship. Warriors forward Andre Iguodala won the NBA Finals MVP.

Many in the Christian hip-hop community celebrated the Warriors’ performance against LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers in the

Jackie Hill-Perry’s story of transformation is different than Caitlyn Jenner’s, but the Christian hip-hop/spoken-word artist identifies with the feelings that led Bruce to undergo gender transition. 

“I get Bruce,” Hill-Perry told Rapzilla. “I don’t fully get it, but I get it because I dealt with gender confusion as a child and even growing up until I became a believer. I get and understand the feeling of, ‘If I lived my life as somebody else, I would be happier than I am now.’”

After a busy spring in Christian hip hop, album releases have slowed down.   Summer is almost a month away, and no prominent rappers have announced finite June-through-August release dates. Some labels have been vocal about who will drop their next project, though. And as for the active labels who haven’t been vocal, Rapzilla reached out to them to confirm who’s next. 

Reach Records

In a Q&A with VIPs on The Anomaly Tour, Andy Mineo said he is aiming to release his sophomore LP this summe

7. Lecrae understands the value in providing a quality product.

If you look at the brand leader in just about any category you should notice those companies take pride in providing customers with quality not quantity. There are a few exceptions to this rule. Mcdonald's and Subway run the fast food market, but that's fast food! When people go to Mcdonald's it's out of value and convenience. They want it cheap and fast. But let's talk about Apple.

4. Lecrae has charisma AKA swag: ‘Walk like a King, to get treated like a King.

In everything Lecrae does, he walks in confidence. Some christians take confidence out of context. They think it's a bad thing because they confuse it with arrogance.

I had a little conversation with my Wife one day while we were driving to Universal City walk. Now she is not a huge Christian Hip Hop fan. She likes it but she is not deep in it like I am. We were talking about Lecrae and the new album he was dropping when she asked me a question. "Why is Lecrae so popular? He is not the best Christian rapper. I've heard better rappers and better albums so why does everyone get excited when he puts an album out?" That conversation lead to the idea of me writi

"Living Daylights," the new album by Rapper/Singer James Gardin, is a call to arms for all people to use their gifts to impact the world around them in a positive way. Armed with soulful sounds from Detroit producer KuroiOto, James talks about self-love, depression, and pushing one’s self past his/her limits—and how his faith guides him through it all.

Lamp Mode Recordings artist Shai Linne is the fourth best rapper alive based on "rhyme factor," according to a study done by Finnish doctoral candidate Eric Malmi

Malmi took the lyrics of 94 artists and plugged 10,082 songs into an algorithm that he created to detect assonance rhymes. His "rhyme factor" calculation ranked Shai behind only Inspectah Deck of Wu-Tang Clan, Rakim and Redrama among the artists tested — which included 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., Eminem, Nas and Shakespeare (h/t Vox).
