In 2001, Jay-Z famously dissed NaS by rapping, "So, yeah I sampled your voice, you was usin' it wrong / You made it a hot line, I made it a hot song."
Twenty-two years later, Eddy Puyol is using the same Blueprint for his new single "Bang Bang Baby" – but in a twist, he's the author of both the hot line and hot song.
Puyol produced the bouncy track with help from longtime collaborator Chuck Hemman and its hook pulls from the artist's career-reflecting single "This One's For You."

Orlando, FL - “Then God said, ‘I am El-Shaddai - God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. You will become a great nation, even many nations. Kings will be among your descendants!’” [Genesis 35:11]
We do not serve an average god. God the Father is the Creator, the Almighty. He is sufficient in all things; worthy of our praise. When we look at the mountains and the vast expanse of the heavens, we do not have to question where our help comes from. We know that our strength is found in the one who
There is a threshold in life that is important for us to discover. That is, there is more to life to be lived. We selected the term Afro Frontier as a title which is a recent term coined by historian Dr. Timothy E. Nelson who studies the westward movement of African Americans from the south post-slavery.
In the recording this song we realized we were standing in a moment where we were looking back at past accomplishments, failures, losses, and victories and made a decision to not just live in
Hudson County, NJ / South Bronx, NY - “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. And don’t be ashamed of me, either, even though I’m in prison for him. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the sake of the Good News.” [2 Timothy 1:7-8]
Isolated. Confused. Forgotten. What do you do when you feel trapped? How are you to feel when hope is hard to find? When screams
Houston, TX - “Because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.” [2 John 1: 2-3]
Freedom is found rooted in truth. Christ has freely offered freedom from our bondage and the ability to stand firm in His promise. Therefore, it is the Word, he who has been from the beginning, that embodies the ultimate truth. Hearing without seeing, and yet still believing,
Detroit, MI - “But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.” [2 Peter 3:13]
As Americans, it is not easy for us to truly understand what it means to suffer for the cause of Christ. To risk everything in order to please the Father. Even so, there is one thing that we have been promised. In order to follow after Jesus, we will have to endure the world’s hatred because they first hated Him. It is not a pretty picture, but The Reckonin

Sandusky, OH; Denver, CO - “And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” [Joshua 24:15]
Hip-hop has taught us many things over the years. Some of those lessons have rang true while others
Sandusky, OH – “As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me.” [John 6:57]
The game of life is always in motion. There’s no halftime, no timeouts, and no next games. Right now, this very moment is our shot. It is our opportunity to step up and impact the outcome. Do we have what it takes? Will we trust that we have properly prepared and our training will payoff? Some people wilt when the lights are on, for others, W
Louisiana - “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. [2 Corinthians 12:9]”
To the ones who exist in the background. The time to pick ourselves up is now. People talk, but the chosen are the ones who do. When we feel weak, it is He who makes us strong. So strong in fact that the Word tells us that we can do all things. Not some thin

Merced, CA - California rapper FervenC’s new album, Playing in the Lion's Den, reflects the similarities between FervenC's life experiences and those of the biblical prophet Daniel. When Daniel was placed in the lion's den, the king feared for the life of his faithful servant. But instead of death, God delivered an opportunity to show what true faith can do; for FervenC, this is through his music.

Sandusky, OH - “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” - James 1:5
The word of God is filled from start to finish with wisdom from the universe’s creator. 66 books that guide those made in His image. When we are following Him down the path He has prepared for us, there is no reason for uncertainty or doubt. In these moments we need to simply ask, “What does the Word say?”

"The 11 of us Wysemen are all dropped individual singles today. It's the "NOT SO BLACK FRIDAY (WE LIT)" Project. These songs all bring a different aspect of each member to the table. The diversity in cadence, delivery, content, beat selection, and how greatly each member authentically expresses themselves in relationship with Jesus really makes this project special. We have 11 brothers, in 6 different states ( HI, FL, AZ, MS, TX & CA) on this thing. "
Toledo, OH & Denver, CO - “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom - Proverbs 11:2”. Man may be God’s greatest creation, but at the same time the most foolish. It seems that society is determined to prove that we are smarter than God. We’ve gone so far as to pervert the things that are beautiful, to drape that which is lovely in a covering of shame. “...Your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Sacramento, CA - Even though we all fall short of the glory of God, He continues to extend grace through it all. “...Therefore it says, ‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’” (James 4:6) Every day we find ourselves tested.

After all, Satan believed he could sway Christ with such offers. But pride comes before the fall, that is why we must rema
