You know how I do. Just being your neighborhood Christian Music Pusher!
Texas based emcee Supa is poised to take hip-hop by storm on the strength of his latest offering Who’s That now available on iTunes
Supa is also working on a mixtape titled Back to Basics
<
"I'm all about truth and a message in the music while still jamming" says Supa. This dude definitely is about the Good News, but you have to listen and understand where he is coming from. The first song "This is My" explains about what his focus is when making music and what he is about while "Soul for Sale" really hits on his struggle as a Christian trying to make it in this industry with sinful expectations and temptations.

Nope! Hip-hop is not dead by any stretch. There is really good music out there! No, really! The reason people have become disillusioned with hip-hop right now (or at least I am and I know I’m not the only one) is because the music has officially become redundant and placed in a creative rut. We know the sound…808-snap-clap-hi hat-snare-snare. The second reason is the content…MONEY, GIRLS, CLOTHES, DRUGS, YOLO! Radio stations are not budging and nobody is an exception. So we are left with a bunch of okay rappers further corrupting the youth who just like the beat and somehow live vicariously through these ballers, thugs, party-animals and players.
SO WE’RE SICK OF IT AND WE WANT THAT REAL HIP HOP!
So we go to the backpack rappers right? The conscious rappers…right? Yes…and no. If you love hip-hop and are not partial to profanity then you will grab your Talib Kweli, Common, Mos Def and get your real hip hop fix.
Okay, but what if you DO have a problem with profanity? What if some of their beliefs clash with yours? What if you’re a strong Christian who loves hip-hop, but cannot tolerate profanity no matter how positive the message is. Lastly, you love Jesus and would love to hear some rappers that love that good melodic backpack hip hop, and love Jesus too.
Okay, enough of ME. Let’s get you hip-hopped up!
Redd Lettaz
This dude’s flow makes a lot emcees extremely laughable. He quickly bounces over the track with witty vocab. I first heard him while scavenging iTunes for some music. His latest offering is an EP called Tha Refocusing. My song is “Are You Serious”. Don’t sleep.
Propaganda
This kid spits like he has a chip on his shoulder and balances a slightly disjointed flow with impeccable cadence. A part of Humble Beast records, his latest effort Excellent is just that. In fact the title track is one of the hotter ones on the album. Check out “Redefine Cutter” featuring Lee Green.
Stephen the Levite
Talk about cadence! This emcee effortlessly weaves multiple rhymes back to back while telling the Good News! All this over soulful loops and breaks. His most recent album is called The Last Missionary released in 2012. Lovely — DON’T SLEEP! Check out “S.O.S”.
Beautiful Eulogy
This group is hip-hop refreshment! This Humble Beast collaboration group broke new hip-hop ground in my opinion with their space-soul album Satellite Kite now available. The group consists of Braille, Odd Thomas and Courtland Urbano. Check out “Open Letter to Whoever’s Listening”. Enjoy!
Bonus!
Let me interrupt my blog to tell you LISTEN TO THIS! Beautiful Eulogy, Theory Hazit and Lee Green with “King Kulture”
Theory Hazit
Feels a little bit like Nas the way he hugs the track vocally and complements it with storytelling flows. Another Humble Beast artist, check out his recent album THR3E. The beats are just ridiculous! Listen!
theBreax
Live band sound with lyrical prowess and Godly content. Need I say more??? This duo consists of Beleaf and Ruslan. This video is for “Imagine Together” featuring R-Swift
JusThoughtZ
Discovered him on RapZilla.com. This kid definitely has a smooth flow filled with honest stories of his love for music which is eclipsed by his love for Jesus. On “I’m Okay”, he bodies this soul loop and now I waiting for the next joint. Enjoy!
There are so many more, but this will hopefully get you started. Grab these artists and turn your radio super loud! It’s okay, it’s clean and it’s positive, but it’s HOT!!! Just a hip-hop tip from your friendly neighborhood Christian Music Pusher.
Blessings!!
Album is called Heroes for Sale out right now.
This came on my Pandora and I felt like crying because I could totally relate. There truly is no problem bigger than God. We have to trust in Him.
The album this came from, Mary Mary was their best one to date as well.
Watch this lyric video and pay attention to the words.
Love,

Graduation is a big deal and Lecrae shows love while dropping knowledge over a sick beat!
I don’t really have to say much here. But I want to key in on that last verse. People say if God was real, evil would be eliminated. However, no one is righteous. And all deserved God’s righteous judgment.
Romans 3:10, 21-23 KJV
10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
God had a plan for all that shows mercy to all who would but only accept that free gift.
Learn more about this Jesus. Read your Bible.
Enjoy the video and pay attention to the words. Blessings. Christian Music Pusher.
Well, obviously we have the Word of God doing what it’s been said to do!
All kidding aside, Antoine Dodson of ” Bed Intruder Song” fame (I still watch that one to this day!!!) recently drew public attention in a very different way. The previously unashamedly homosexual Antoine stated on Facebook that he no longer wants to be homosexual after reading that it was wrong in the Bible. This has been reported everywhere. Google it! But simply by viewing the headlines alone, it has not been received well at all!
There are people thinking he’s just trying for fifteen more minutes of fame. Some express concern for how many people he’s going to anger. An interviewer even attacked him sarcastically saying, “so you’re just going to pray the gay away!??” In response, Antoine just stood his ground and explained why he did what he did. The Bible. He is reading his Bible.
Now let’s be real. He still has much to learn based on his comments which are somewhat scattered. But the common denominator is the Word of God. He will lose friends, followers, popularity. If he truly desires men he will have to fight temptation daily.
When looking at this story, a few scriptures come to mind.
I Peter 4:3-4 NKJV
For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.
II Timothy 3:16 NKJV
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
The Word of God is all powerful and can change any who honestly looks into it’s contents and realizes their life does not meet His standard. And when you do change, the world may persecute you. Expect that. But press on.
To Antoine I say, dude, you are on the right track. Keep reading that Word. Study it faithfully. Finish what you have started. God will see that you are seeking.
To the media I say, position this as big news in a good way. Everybody makes a big deal and says someone was brave when they “come out”. It’s so widely accepted. Is it really that brave anymore?
Not everybody will agree with this blog and that’s fine. Just some thoughts from your friendly Christian Music Pusher.
Comments? Let’s discuss.
“I wrote this on Good Friday, but why they call it good? An innocent man was beaten and nailed into wood. It’s only through the lens of grace we see who that really should of been hanging from that tree, who the nails should have been put in…me.The only place the world has ever seen complete justice, grace and love meet The innocent One took the blame so I wouldn’t have to. This is good unless you don’t believe the bad news. For the sin you committed just in the last two minutes you deserve God’s holy and just wrath dude. So let me ask you, you ever regret something like a tattoo of the name of your last boo? Sin is so deep, all up in your skin Like the sin that you try to delete. Cry and you weep, But unless the Christ died and He rise to His feet and ascended into the sky then our hope is obsolete”
—“whatever comes” by Andy Mineo
I want to highlight the part where he says the good news is only good unless you don’t believe the bad news. Someone only can truly appreciate and seek Jesus once the realize their NEED for Jesus. That they are in sin, separated from God and Jesus is the only way to get back to God. Just a thought from your Christian Music Pusher.
