#NewMusic: DJ DMD x Bizzle x Jarrod Phillips “#25BiblesOnMyDresser”

When it comes to incorporating Christ into their hip-hop music, Bizzle is one of the most popular artists. He not only does that but he challenges the likes of Jay-Z, something even our homie Dee-1 did with his Jay, 50, & Weezy track. Hip-hop is the best ways to reach young people and if there is a message with a mixture of a lil bit of swag, you might be effective in reaching them.

Bizzle just came outta nowhere with this “25 Bibles…” record. For those that aren’t familiar with the original DJ DMD “25 Lighters…” track, you’re gonna have to re-visit to appreciate how Bizzle flipped it on em. From what I was taught, God can use any of us, even our music, to get the glory!

[WATCH] Dee-1 ft. Murs & Syreeta Neal “Ridin By Myself”

Glad to see they’ve finally released the visual to one of Dee-1′s popular records off the second installment of his “I Hope They Hear Me” mixtape series. I was actually right there in LA when they shot this video, some five months back. Shouts out to the homie Colin Pierce for the Director’s credit!

#NewMusic: Kendrick Lamar “War is my Love”

Kendrick Lamar is on everybody’s radar these days. The Compton emcee adds his Cali swag to the soundtrack of the forthcoming game Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. I’m not a big video game fan, but it would be pretty gangsta to play a shooting game with some West Coast rap in the background. Less war, more love!

#NewMusic: Goodie Mob “Is That You God”

There are things good and bad that take place in our lives and we have no control over them. Idk about you but I was taught not to question God. At the same time, the (wo)man upstairs is so big and the happenings of this world are so mysterious, you just might get caught asking, “God, is that you?”

Thank God for the Goodie Mob! They just released this soulful and insightful record, which is one of the tracks from the highly anticipated film, ‘The Obama Effect,’ which is set to release July 13th.

5 Artists Who’ve Sampled the Late Donna Summers…REST IN PARADISE!!!

Damn, Donna Summers was cold talent-wise and physically! Her voice was crisp but she was stunning at the same time. Ms. Summers, who didn’t put up much of a fight climbing the charts in her 40-year career, battled with cancer, as a lot of people her age are. At the age of 63, she succumbed to the disease. I wish we could lock cancer up in jail and throw away the key because it’s taking more lives than gun violence.

Donna Summers will be missed by many. There’s no doubt that she probably has inspired music by some of your favorite artists/groups. Below there are five artists that have benefited from her talented life. Peep!
