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.
Nothing Changed But My Stage Name by Eddy Puyol Soul Deep Records' Eddy Puyol released his second album since 2019 listed by his government name. Previous to that, Puyol was known as Rawsrvnt dating all the way back to 2006. Therefore, he's a mainstay within the HHH/CHH space for nearly the past two decades. The current release dropped on April 19, 2024 including eight tracks with one being the current hit "Like A Cadillac." Other notable tracks include "Good Time" and "Everything I Got."
"Over the years, it just felt natural to adapt my performance identity from "Rawsrvnt" to the name I was given at birth. However, best believe I'm still on the same mission to honor God and love people through my art," stated Puyol recently. The album was produced sololy by Puyol and Chuck Hemann. The content is smothered in the goodness of God and Puyol's faith from morning until bedtime. He's unashamed and witty with the delivery. Also, the sound remains true to that west coast bump causing heads to nod worldwide. The hooks are catchy to the point I catch myself uttering a few here, there and everywhere.

Wande x Lecrae - "SEND THAT" Reach Records' first lady Wande is a pioneer woman and artist in CHH. Four-time GRAMMY winning icon Lecrae joins her on her latest single. Bass clefs off the piano keys meet slammin' 808s behind a tailing high hat and snare. Wande delivers two doses are some of her hardest bars allowing her inner Blande personality to shine through while Lecrae accents the track in the only way he knows how; thought provoking heart-driven words.
Wande is about to embark on a 29-stop "Girls Night Out" tour with Naomi Raine, Koryn Hawthorne, and Kierra Sheard. She's actively cultivating her influencer brand, "WIN WITHIN," funneling her fans (the WIN GANG) into avid listeners. Stream "SEND THAT" on Spotify and Apple Music.
MvkeyyJ feat. BigBreeze - "Tinted Windows"
RMG Amplify's MvkeyyJ and 1VisionMuszik's BigBreeze team up for a soon-to-be summer anthem. Infectious cadences, a stand alone hook, and enough bass to shatter a few windows, the single presents the best of both artists to the listeners. Breeze's signature ATL trap vibe shines brightly on the hook while MvkeyyJ's verse injects a smooth, yet prominent sound we all know and love. Stream "Tinted Windows" on Spotify and Apple Music.
