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.
Bizzle - "Set It Off" God Over Money (GOM) owner and artist Bizzle releases his second single of 2022. GOM dropped a collaboration project of all the GOM artists in the Spring of 2022 heralded as one of the top albums of the year. The latest single is classic Biz spitting refined bars over an aggressive beat. His delivery is polished, dipped in truth, and always fresh to the soul. I thoroughly enjoyed the chasing piano tones combined with the speedy high hats behind Bizzle's lethal flow. He and his team have remained faithful to the origins of what CHH represents and always rep Christ outwardly and vocally. Stream "Set It Off" on Spotify here.
Zauntee feat. Benxiah - "God Is On My Side" BEC Recordings' artist Zauntee drops his third single from the upcoming album, The Stonebrook Sessions. Featured on the track is Texas-born rapper Benxiah. He's an up-and-coming artist with a powerful testimony relatable to most. Zauntee delivers one of his strongest tracks to date. He spotlights his lyrical abilities, energy, and talents behind a microphone. The production included is an atypical trap beat with some added creative spice. Benxiah adds additional adrenaline with playful wordplay. Also, listen to the end for a playful twist and surprise adding completion to the track. The duo created a Friday night hit for the masses.

Roy Tosh - "Hold Me Down"
RMG Amplify artist Roy Tosh blesses the people with his fourth single of 2022. I've always appreciated the cross-genre appeal Tosh provides. Fans of CCM, Soul, CHH, and worship music can relate to the art Tosh provides. He reminds me of artists such as Peabod and Jet Trouble. The hook is simple, yet catchy. Listeners will definitely catch themselves repeating the lyrics in the car or at home. Tosh's content is always soaked in the Spirit too, as he refers to the beauty and strength of God in our lives. He speaks highly of his protection and presence in our lives. The track is short but memorable. It's a gentle reminder to smile and remain secure in our faith. Stream "Hold Me Down" on Spotify here.
