Jlyricz’s new single “Redeemed” is a soulful Christian Pop song that deals with the theme of redemption and salvation. The song revolves around themes like worship, adulation, love, and salvation.
The opening line “There I laid in the dark, gnashing my teeth with no one to help me” sets the tone for the soothing soulful tune and it continues to build into a beautiful crescendo. “I am redeemed I am washed by His blood and all of my past are gone with the dark” is the sum of this song laced with amazing instrumentals produced by long-term collaborator E-Mex.
Redeemed is a song that would touch the hearts of everyone; young and old who seek a deeper meaning to life, a relationship with God, or just reminiscing on the memory of when they became saved.
Jlyricz performed Redeemed at the 2023 Divine Repositioning annual revival program supported by the band Quadtones.

Vidalia, GA — Actor Quinton Aaron made his film debut in Michel Gondry’sBe Kind Rewindhit comedy starring Jack Black, Yasiin Bey (Mos Def), and Danny Glover. He then catapulted to stardom with his first lead role as Michael Oher in the 2009 Academy Award-winning blockbuster film The Blind Sidestarring Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw, and Kathy Bates. He received an NAACP Image Award Nomination for Outstanding Actor In A Motion Picture for his work in The Blind Side.
Beyond his love for acting, Quinton is also a songwriter and singer. “Music and acting have always been two of my love languages,” Quinton says. “I dreamed of being in movies at a very early age, and I started singing at four. I was super confident, and then I caught the acting bug. That’s when I knew I was to be an entertainer. It was the first thing that brought me joy while being bullied by kids who reacted to my performances.”
The 6-foot-8 actor now walks confidently in his astute talents as an actor, singer, songwriter, and entertainer. With a sincere passion for utilizing his gifts and influence for good, Quinton has released his first single, “LEAD WITH LOVE.”
Written by Quinton and Greg Barnhill, “Lead With Love” is an inspirational, uplifting song with a call to action. The theme stems from Quinton’s motto and desire to keep love at the forefront of every decision he makes.
“One night in my hotel room in Austin, Texas, during the huge hurricane a couple of years ago, Lead With Love came to life,” Quinton explains. “It was really my eureka moment and lyrics just started pouring out. This sparked a fuse to finally chase my other dream of music. I decided to use my passion for music to inspire and positively affect change throughout the world.”
The single is released by Ascension Records, New Day Christian Distributors, and The Orchard. Ascension Records President/CEO Martin Luther Wardlaw states, “Lead With Love is a soft ballad that encourages unity and love. It is fitting and truly embodies Quinton’s life in a song.”
Martin Luther Wardlaw, of the famed Wardlaw Brothers singing group, met Quinton on the set of a film he produced called BLUE LIGHTNING.
“Quinton was very kind, professional, and humble,” Wardlaw shares. “I knew from watching the movie The Blind Side so many times over the years how much of an amazing actor he was and is. To learn of his desire to sing professionally was a plus. It’s truly a blessing to work with Quinton. People are so important to me. I love helping, giving, and loving people. It’s fitting that Quinton shares those sentiments.”

Artist, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and vinyl collector Cephaslaunches his record label imprint to fill what he calls the “gaps” in Christian music. “Christian music has come a long way,” he states. “However, currently music heads who are more into underground genres like indie funk, soul, modern jazz, psychedelic rock, golden era hip-hop, drum n bass, and dub reggae seem to have nowhere to turn. I plan on changing that.”
In launching GO! Records Cephas seeks to continue the heritage of record labels like Tooth & Nail, Lamp Mode, and Humble Beast who previously held down underground Christian music fans. “If you didn’t dig DC Talk or Newsboys in the 90’s and 2000’s you had other options. I want to GO! Records to be the other option for the Christian music fans of today who aren’t into the mainstream sound.”
Keeping lockstep with his faith the record label will serve as a counterbalance to many of today’s prevailing ideas within the indie culture. “It’s sad but the Gospel doesn’t carry much space in the underground indie music scene,” he states. “It’s been embraced in the mainstream through athletes and pop musicians but unfortunately Satan dominates the underground. Yet another reason is something like GO! Records are needed.”
The label’s first release is appropriately titled “The Resistance ” and has been announced as Cephas’s last album as a Christian Hip-Hop artist. “The Christian part isn’t changing, just hip-hop,” he says “After this album, my sound will be more eclectic. Hip-Hop will always be the backbone but styles like funk, soul, jazz, reggae, and drum n bass will be more present.”
In the meantime, fans can look forward to The Resistance LP dropping on August 25th that features several CHH notables including Social Club, Taelor Gray, Japhia Life, Datin, Will Cata, Alcott, C4 Crotona, Q-Flo & YP aka: Young Paul to name a few. The album features artwork from legendary comic illustrator Alejandro Torrecilla and will be released via DSPs as well as limited vinyl and cassette tape runs.
RCA Inspiration celebrates the song “Bless Me,” by Maverick City Music and Kirk Franklin (Fo Yo Soul/RCA), which won at the 2023 BET Awards in the Dr. Bobby Jones Best Gospel/Inspirational Award category.
The BET Awards were held in Los Angeles on June 25th, with winners announced both on the show and off-air honoring music, television, and film. “Bless Me” is one of the featured singles from the acclaimed collaboration by Maverick City Music and Kirk Franklin, who recorded the live album Kingdom Book One (Tribl Records/Fo Yo Soul/RCA Inspiration).
The BET Award win marks the fifth award this year honoring the enduring power of the songs from the 2022 album Kingdom Book One, which previously has won a 2023 NAACP Image Award and three awards at the 2023 GRAMMY Awards. Kingdom Book One was recorded live together with 1,300 inmates in a Florida prison yard, creating an unforgettable ministry experience. This project sheds light on the issue of mass incarceration while also serving as a testament to the transformative power of God’s love, offering solace and restoration. Among other beloved performances from the album include “Kingdom” (feat. Naomi Raine & Chandler Moore), “Melodies from Heaven,” “Fear Is Not My Future,” “I Smile,” and more.
14-year-old singer, motivational speaker, and writer Orafiri Ibisiki are out with her debut single titled “HOPE”.
Inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic that took its toll on the entire world, the multi-talented teenager goes beyond putting her pen to paper by bringing her motivation to life with sounds and rhythm. Laced on EDM instrumentation, Orafiri reassures that hope does not disappoint in spite of economic, political, or social crises peculiar to individuals or geo-political zones.
“I am a teenager but my heart has depth enough to know and feel a thing or more about life and all that it can be,” Orafiri posits.
“This is why I can heartily share my message of HOPE to the whole world today!
”’ HOPE’ was inspired by the effects of the global pandemic of COVID-19, which disrupted life as we knew it.
“HOPE is for those moments when your inner struggles, fears and anxiety try to get the better of you!
“When you feel like quitting, HOPE is here to motivate you!
“When you feel broken, HOPE is here to soothe you!
“When you feel doubtful, HOPE is here to inspire you!
“If a thousand people or just one person is able to face life with more gusto by listening to HOPE; Mission Accomplished!!
“ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE IF WE HOPE!”
