Each week, dozens of singles and a handful of projects are released in the Christian Hip-Hop (CHH) and Urban Soul spaces. Below, we listen to a few highlights and list the rest for your own discovery. As always, follow our New Christian Rap & Hip Hop playlist on Spotify and Apple Music to listen to all the latest.
Aable - "SHEESH" Philly-based rapper Aable heats up the summer with his third single released in 2022. "SHEESH" is a short, but powerful display of lyricism as he fires off some of his best bars in under two minutes. The speeding high hats and piano keys directing production on this one fit Aable's vocal pocket perfectly. The 808's play more of a compliment to everything else sonically than the role of the feature like most CHH tracks. "When it comes to hate, love is the deadliest weapon," spits Aable.The lyricism takes center stage this go around, and rightfully so. Stream "SHEESH" on Spotify here.
Mission - "Run A Bag" Californian rapper Mission drops his fourth single of 2022, aside from the Tru Talk Tony, Vol. 4 EP he released in May. With ties to the Rock Paper Scissors Music Group (RPSMG), Brvndon P and Mission possess some of the deepest ranges across the genre. They're able to excel, regardless of the genre experimenting with pop, hip-hop, Rhythm and Blues, and soul. This time around hits no different. Mission displays not only his laser-focused lyricism but highlights his vocal talents with smooth harmonies too. This single is perfect to blast on a weekend with the windows down cruising local neighborhoods. Most know, but Mission rarely misses. His talents never lack. Stream "Run A Bag" on Spotify here.
INTO DUSK (Maxi Single) by MvkeyyJ
RMG Amplify artist MvkeyyJ blesses his fanbase with singles number six and seven of 2022. With influences both from the West (California) and the South (Texas), he's developed a sound unique in most spaces. Poise and finesse are compliments related to his smooth, yet gritty delivery captured in his art. The singles "all around" and "team" balance each other between smooth soul-driven transitions to prominent declarations of his skill as a lyricist. The term "into dusk" reminds me of a chill atmosphere as the night begins before turning up into the late hours of a weekend night. Therefore, the two tracks complement each other brilliantly. The range of tempos and emotions of the sonic elements mesh without hesitation. Overall, I truly vibe with the statement behind both unique tracks included. Stream "all around" and "team" on Spotify here.
