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.

Lecrae x Tasha Cobbs Leonard - "Your Power"
Grammy, Dove, and Stellar award-winning artists Lecrae and Tasha Cobbs Leonard team up for a powerhouse, rhythmic single. Two industry staples in their respective spaces join their superpowers as an emcee and a worshipper collectively create a masterpiece. 'Crae has a knack for including a choir on a track whenever possible. When gospel choirs and hip-hop are infused together, the end result is quite beautiful leaving a resonating smile on the faces of listeners. 

The track starts off with the beautiful tones of a choir before 'Crae powers in with witty lyricism testifying of the strength of the Lord. In the background are echoes of booming bass and organ tones interchanging throughout. Tasha Cobbs Leonard handles the chorus and some brilliant verses of her own. Honestly, it's one of 'Crae's strongest tracks since "Tell the World" featuring Mali Music. It's empowering, uplifting, and an energy boost for the soul. Stream "Your Power" on Apple Music here.
 

Torey D'Shaun - "Peep"
Independent artist Torey D'Shaun returns with only his second single dropped in 2023. He's not one to smother his faithful fan base with constant drops, however, each release is one of the most anticipated on any given Friday. Reigning from East St. Louis, D'Shaun strives to change perspectives while handcrafting soul-squeezing, head-bopping music. He's an outlandishly versatile artist capable of nearly anything. 

"Peep" may be one of his most innovative tracks to date. It's a downpour of musical genius production-wise dancing between the sounds of a club heater, an 80's mixer, and a cult classic. The simplistic, yet powerful use of synthesizers, bass, high-hats, and snares beautifully gather into an infectious compilation. It's almost like "Beats 101" as producers could learn an entire semester's worth of knowledge breaking this one down. Don't fear, D'Shaun's content isn't to go unnoticed either. It contains more faith-driven wordplay gems than a diamond mine. "God put me on game 'bout a lot of things / He didn't beat around a burning bush, He made it plain," speaks D'Shaun. Personally, this is up for single of the year. Stream "Peep" on Apple Music here.
