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.
SHIESTY EP by Fern (of Social Club Misfits) Independent once again, Fern (of Social Club Misfits) drops a new EP just a few weeks after his Misfits’ partner Marty released his own foundational solo project. Under his own label titled, 10 Piece Records’, Fern offers five solid tracks showcasing his lyrical skill and mindset moving forward. The artistic flow is defined as raw, authentic, unapologetic, nostalgic, sprinkled with Christian values basically known as music for grown folks.
Grammy Award-winning producer Andrew Prim teamed up with Eli Williams for the production credits. Also, Prim mixed and mastered the EP. Fern wrote all of the lyrics for each track. Through the EP, Fern was determined to invoke the essence of creativity and hip-hop while rejuvenating the art of storytelling seemingly absent from most of what’s available. It’s simply Fern, a mic, and his thoughts spilled onto paper. Stream the SHIESTY EP on Spotify here.
Hulvey - "All For You" Reach Records’ Hulvey celebrates his fifth year with the label dropping only his second single of 2024. His first single, this year, was a remix of “Altar” featuring the renowned Ciara. “All For You” is the debut single released from Hulvey’s forthcoming project sometime in the near future of 2024.
Hulvey’s music has quickly developed into his sonic calling card per say. His childlike wonder and reverence for God motivates his desire to reflect the beauty of Christ through tastefully refined art. He’s found the ideal recipe as a CHH artist to represent worship and hip-hop simultaneously.
The cadence alone throughout the track is infectious to the ears. It’s a creative work which will instantaneously echo between ear drums as fans repeat lines for weeks to follow. Stream “All For You" on Spotify and Apple Music.
Datin feat. Brenno and Ashley Robin - "Frequency"
God Over Money and Menace Movement’s Datin drops his first single of 2024 accompanied by independent artists Brenno and Ashley Robin. The track invites listeners to tune into a divine “frequency” while encouraging a deeper spiritual connection and awareness. Equipped with heartfelt substance and a captivating beat, this single aims to relate to anyone seeking solace and guidance through faith. It’s a battle cry to embrace our spiritual walk and journey through this short-lived life. Stream “Frequency” on Spotify and Apple Music.
