Summer has officially come to an end, but IVAV recording artist Ty Brasel’s year is still heating up with “SHINING (feat. Aha Gazelle),” the hip-hop innovator’s newest single available today, bringing with it a sunny message of perseverance and purpose and making way for Brasel’s upcoming TRANSCENDENT, available for pre-order/pre-add/pre-save today, 10/14.

Listen to “SHINING (feat. Aha Gazelle)” and pre-order/pre-add/pre-save TRANSCENDENT, available 11/11, HERE.

“‘SHINING’ is a piano-driven, hard-hitting, motivational anthem that calls for the listener to follow along with us in overcoming and persevering through any tribulations that life brings your way,” shares Brasel, pointing to the song’s inspirational lyrics. Featuring a guest appearance by fellow rapper Aha Gazelle, “SHINING” is the third release from Brasel’s forthcoming TRANSCENDENT, the long-awaited follow-up to last year’s Destiny Vol. 1 mixtape.

Raised on the outskirts of Memphis, Brasel struggled with criminal behavior before rediscovering God and renewing his purpose as a faith-driven hip-hop star. Since then, he’s used music as a means of encouraging others to move past their own obstacles. Produced by Dirty Rice, Joseph Prielozny, and JuiceBangers, TRANSCENDENT will mark his fourth release for Curb Records’ hip-hop imprint, IVAV, joining an acclaimed catalog that also includes 2020’s The Divine Storm and 2018’s Destined For Greatness.

“TRANSCENDENT is about rising above all types of emotions and challenges that can lead you down a dangerous path,” Brasel says of the upcoming record, which also includes collabs with The WRLDFMS Tony Williams, Aaron Cole, Foggieraw, Jay-Way, and Parris Chariz. “Those challenges can be anything from ego to depression to pride to fear. We can tap into our divine resources to overcome those obstacles, and that story is reflective of my own life — my personal story of transcending.”

IVAV recording artist Steven Malcolm celebrates a career in full bloom with the release of his highly-anticipated third album, Tree, today.

On an album filled with guest stars such as Snoop Dogg, Shaggy, Fisk Jubilee Singers and more, Tree remains grounded in the sharply-written lyrics and eclectic energy of its creator: a musician who has learned to lead by example, funneling his faith into songs that inspire and invigorate. Listen to the album HERE.

“Jamaicans pronounce the number three by saying ‘tree,’” notes Malcolm, the son of a Jamaican man who left the family during Malcolm’s youth. “This being my third studio album, I wanted to focus on the growth and fruit that came from a foundation rooted in truth. I’m a family man now. With me being a present dad in my son’s life, I’m changing the trajectory of my family life. I’m repairing the family tree. My son will know what a man of God and a faithful husband looks like.”

Tree marks Malcolm’s most fully realized blend of hip-hop rhymes and reggae rhythms and the most collaborative record of his career, featuring appearances from an acclaimed roster of guests; the Fisk Jubilee Singers add their world-renowned gospel harmonies to the album’s opening track, “Heavenly Father,” while rap icon Snoop Dogg contributes a verse to the West Coast-inspired single “Summertime,” and Malcolm teams up with Shaggy on “Fuego (R3HAB Remix),” a dancehall anthem that has already earned more than five million digital streams.

He also makes room for nearly a dozen additional collaborators on the album’s remaining tracks, including KB, Jay-Way, Ty Basel, and Social Club Misfits, the bulk of which were written during an inspired weekend in his hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan. A 6x Dove Award nominee with multiple Top 40 hits on the Billboard charts, Malcolm has earned his stripes as a Christian hip-hop icon. Tree finds him stretching skyward, reaching new heights while remaining rooted as a songwriter, husband, father, and Man of God.

“I’m zoning in,” he says proudly. “I’ve stood firm in my faith, and I’m still on the front lines. Through all the highs and lows of my career, I’ve seen fruit be borne from this ministry that God has given me. So what is that, when you’re standing firm, you’re rooted, and you see so much fruit? That’s a tree.”

After a brief pause, he smiles and adds, “Remember that Jesus himself was a carpenter. He touched tree every day.”

Today 3rd June 2022, Multi-talented songwriter and rapper Masoyi Jibilla Shadrach popularly known as Bobdee Riddle hits the airwaves with new single dubbed Planting of Yahweh.

“Planting of Yahweh” as highlighted from the rhythmic call in the song, is a song born from a place of prayer and declaration of those who are in Jesus the Lord. JER. 17:7- 8 , Psalms 1:1-3

By this we are reminded to always be aware of our source and connection to the Father.

Do you see yourself drinking from this living water?  In Christ, you are planted by the life giving water.  Isaiah 61:3 says, “So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”

A tree so planted will not fear when heat comes, it will not experience damage from the blazing heats of summer, its leaf remains green, and it will yield fruit in season.  We become like Him, continually bearing fruit so that others may find sustenance and refreshment in time of need.  Remember, His resources are Eternal and they never run dry!

There is an expectation, and it is for every Child of God to flourish and be a reference to the world, not just material wise but All Wise. 3John 1:2.

Reach Records, a trailblazing hip-hop label, received four nominations from The Stellar Awards, one of the most prestigious awards in Gospel music, with each going to Grammy Award winning artist, Lecrae, and Reach Records’ rising star, 1K Phew, for their collaborative album, No Church In A While.

The concept for their collaborative album, No Church For A While grew out of 1K Phew and Lecrae’s conversations. Lecrae was recording his mixtape, Church Clothes 4, when it occurred to him that people hadn’t been to church to even put on those church clothes in a while because of the pandemic, church hurt, and other reasons. After hearing some of the songs 1K Phew had recorded for the album, he decided to not only mentor him, but record a collaborative album together.

“No Church In A While has all types of meanings,” expresses 1K Phew. “We just went through the pandemic and ain’t nobody to church in a minute. This album is for everybody who ain’t been to church or connected to God in a while who thinks they can’t go back. It ain’t really that deep. God is waiting for everybody to tap back in. No Church In A While is telling people there’s still hope, you can still turn to God no matter how long you’ve been away.”

Available today, the song is co-produced by Grammy Award winners BoogzDaBeast (Kanye West, Kevin Gates, YNW Melly), FNZ (A$AP Rocky, Denzel Curry, The Kid LAROI) and Dayme. “Rooftop Freestyle” is a rags-to-riches story starring the man himself as the hero. Never afraid to be vulnerable, Steven raps passionately about where he came from, but where he’s going, too.

“This record, honestly, is just me snapping,” says Steven. 2021 has been an incredible year for the flourishing rap artists. He expanded his mainstream reach with the international smash “Fuego (remix)” HERE featuring Grammy-winning dancehall superstar Shaggy (5 million combined streams on Spotify), while remaining a pillar within Christian hip-hop. His song “Glory On Me” featuring Childish Major & Taylor Hill HERE was nominated for Rap/Hip-Hop Recorded Song of the Year at the 2021 GMA Dove Awards.

“I told myself one time that my life could be a movie with the craziness that has gone on, and all the things that I’ve overcome to be where I’m at today,” Malcolm adds. “It’s truly a blessing to come from nothing and gain everything you’ve prayed for, especially when you have a background like mine. Life is like a movie.”

“Rooftop Freestyle” is a fiery rap song that reinforces Steven’s skills as an emcee. The fast-paced flows and inventive rhyme schemes that recount bits of his life story are captivating. Derek Minor, another Christian artist with hits on both the gospel and rap charts, stops by for a cameo, resulting in a tag-teamed tribute to the hip-hop hustle.
